Meet Bowie (25m), who's engaged to his lovely fiancée Jessie (24f). They've been together for six years, and Bowie has grown to like Jessie's family. But things took a wild turn at their engagement party when Jessie's family started criticizing Bowie's name. 😒🙄 Little did they know, they were about to get a taste of their own medicine. 💣💥

Bowie Stands His Ground 💪😎
Bowie's name was the center of attention at his engagement party, but not in a good way. Jessie's family criticized his name and questioned whether he should change it for marriage. 🙄 Bowie fired back, reminding them that his parents, who chose his name, are both deceased. 😳 He played dumb, leaving the family feeling uncomfortable. They demanded an apology, but Bowie and Jessie stood their ground. Hell would freeze over before Bowie apologizes! ❄️🔥
