It felt much more personal and meaningful for Emmitt Smith as you could almost sense the big brother’s pride through the screen. Years ago, Emory proudly stood by Emmitt’s side during his own big day. 

Back in 2000, when Emmitt married Pat Lawrence at Dallas’ First Baptist Church, he stood at the altar wearing a white tuxedo with a gold tie. Meanwhile, Smith’s father stood beside him as best man, and his brothers Emory, Erik, and Emil stood as groomsmen. It was a true family affair for the Smiths.

But two decades later, Emmitt Smith and Pat announced their separation. Smith and Pat chose to move forward with respect and compassion, focusing on co-parenting their five children. And now, as Emory welcomed Jametta into his family, the Smith family continues to grow. As soon as news of Emory’s wedding surfaced online, fans also took to social media with congratulations.

Fans congratulate Emmitt Smith’s brother on his marriage

Much like his older brother, Emory Smith carved out his own football journey playing fullback for the Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers, and the Scottish Claymores in the 1990s. After retiring from football, Emory transitioned into real estate, following a path similar to Emmitt Smith. Now at 51, while Emory marked a new chapter in his life, he went to live on Instagram from his wedding reception, and fans quickly joined in to celebrate.

“Awwwww congratulations 🎈🎉🎊!! So Happy for you!!!” one fan commented.

“Congratulations!! 🥂,” another fan wrote.

Although Emory and Jametta have kept much of their relationship private, their Instagram Live told a different story. Emory and Jametta smiled nonstop at the camera and looked relaxed at their wedding reception. During the live stream, Emory even appeared overwhelmed with joy as he declared that he had finally gotten married, but fans wished that God would bestow more such joy on him.

“Let’s go! May God bless you both beyond your wildest dreams,” one fan wrote.

“Congratulations cuz! Wishing you and your bride blessings, peace, and love,” another fan added.

At one point during the live stream, Emmitt Smith’s brother even held up his wedding ring for the camera while dancing at his wedding reception. Behind Emory, guests filled the venue, dancing under colorful lights against white walls. With music playing and laughter everywhere, it looked like a night to remember for Emory and his bride.

“What a great night brother! Truly a beautiful wedding!” one of Emory’s friends even commented.

Despite the absence of both of his parents, who have passed away, Emory celebrated his wedding surrounded by family and friends. After years of standing as a groomsman, Emory finally stepped into the spotlight as the groom. And if Emmitt Smith’s smile said anything, it’s that he couldn’t be more proud of his brother’s big moment.
