Mary Sheffield, the newly elected mayor of Detroit, has made history by becoming the city's first female mayor. In a low-key yet momentous occasion, she tied the knot with her fiancé Rickey Jackson Jr. over the weekend.
The news was officially confirmed on Monday through a statement from Rise Higher Detroit, Sheffield's transition team, which revealed that the private ceremony took place in Detroit. The couple exchanged vows in a small and intimate setting, exchanging heartfelt words as they embark on their new life together while continuing to serve the city they love.
In a joint statement, Sheffield and Jackson expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of love and well wishes from family, friends, and supporters. The happy couple was spotted at various venues in Corktown, where vendors were seen unloading hundreds of red roses, a clear indication of the excitement surrounding their special day.
According to Rickey Jackson Jr.'s LinkedIn profile, he works as a program manager for Project Play, a community foundation initiative that provides sports access for children. The community comes together to support this worthy cause, and it's wonderful to see such positivity surrounding Sheffield's commitment to serving Detroit.
As Mary Sheffield prepares to take office next month, her wedding serves as a testament to the importance of love, dedication, and public service. The city is eagerly awaiting her first day as mayor and looks forward to seeing the positive impact she will bring to the community.
The newlyweds' union marks an exciting new chapter in Detroit's history, one that promises hope, progress, and a brighter future for all its residents.

. can't wait for her first day as mayor & all the good vibes that come with it 
. I mean, I get it, Mary Sheffield is making history as Detroit's first female mayor and all that, but do we really need all that drama for her private ceremony? It feels kinda staged to me 
. Also, Rickey Jackson Jr.'s LinkedIn profile is legit, so props to him for doing good work through Project Play 
. Let's see how Mary Sheffield actually does as the mayor and not just on her wedding day

! Mary Sheffield is the real MVP - marrying into public service 
! [GIF of a happily ever after couple dancing]
of course Detroit needed another reason to be awesome - a female mayor who's also married now... I mean, congrats to Mary Sheffield & Rickey Jackson Jr., they're gonna make our lives better or at least try to 
. Can't wait for the first 100 days as mayor and see how that whole 'public service' thing works out for her. 
! I'm so hyped to see her take office next month and bring some positive vibes to the city. And btw, Rickey Jackson Jr. seems like an amazing hubby 
! I'm loving this new chapter for the city and can't wait to see Mary Sheffield bring her vision to life 
Project Play is doing amazing work #CommunityFirst #PositiveVibesOnly can't wait to see what Mary brings to the table next month as our new mayor 
. i mean, who doesn't luv a good love story? 
And what's up with the secrecy around it too? A private ceremony just to avoid scrutiny? That's not exactly inspiring, you know? 
I'd rather see her focus on fixing the potholes on I-75 than worrying about exchanging vows. 
Maybe we'll get some updates on that soon! 
. On a more serious note, congrats to Mary and Rickey, may their love be as strong as Mary's commitment to Detroit
