Pastor John-Paul Miller marries Suzie Skinner in small ceremony
Scandal-hit South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller has re-married just over a year after his wife, Mica Miller, killed herself — to the widow of a parishioner who also died by suicide in suspicious circumstances tied to the pastor, according to reports.
Miller was filmed tying the knot with Suzie Skinner in a beach ceremony in Myrtle Beach on Sunday evening, according to reports and video shared on TikTok by user findingneejo.
None of the couple's children were in attendance at the small ceremony, held for just a couple of dozen guests, freelance journalist Robbie Harvey said on X.

But several armed bodyguards were hired for the ceremony — which was just a few blocks from where Miller and his late wife were married in 2017, Robbie Harvey claimed.
Sunday's wedding coincides with the feds stepping up investigations into Miller, sources familiar with the case told FitsNews.

Mica Miller's death is tied to an ongoing FBI investigation into John-Paul Miller, while the 2021 drowning death of his new bride's late husband, veteran Chris Skinner, remains under investigation by the coroner's office, FitsNews reported.
The FBI searched John-Paul's home in November, although the reason is unclear.
