"My fiancée, she called me in tears about a month ago, because we just did not have the money to afford a nice wedding," he said. "We had to take a lot of things away from our already-stripped-down wedding. We didn't even have wedding (invitations). Couldn't afford it. The church wasn't even going to be decorated. Couldn't afford it."
Meanwhile, Chris has received tremendous support from his fans on Twitter. Several fans shared on social media that he deserved to win the title and congratulated him.
