Prophetess Juanita Bynum celebrated her 50th birthday in grand fashion recently. During the integral part of her bash she wore the same wedding dress that she marched down the aisle to marry Rev. Beat Em Up before donning a special casket sharp skirt made out of photos that celebrate her life.

“One of the greatest moments of my life was the day that I married. That day was supposed to be the defining moment of my life when I would show the world that I had stepped into my womanhood”, Bynum tells Essence.com. “It was always the original intention of my dress and I refused to let it not be because it was made for me. So I wore it because I felt like someone had robbed me of that right.”

She continues: “I waited so many years to walk in it and I wanted to give the dress the honor for which it had been made. My father told me to always face your fears head-on, and since this was the dress that is connected to the incident for which the whole world remembered me, I said that if I’m going to cross over I have to go back and stand in the same place.”

Isn’t that just special? I expect for Rev. Beat Em Up and Al Reynolds to team up for their official Single Again party in the Hamptons this summer.
