‘1000-lb Sisters’ Star Amy Slaton Ties the Knot in Halloween Wedding
The spookiest day of the year was also the happiest day of the year for TLC personality Amy Slaton.
Amy Slaton says ‘I do’ in Halloween wedding
The 1000-lb Sisters star said “I do” to Brian Lovvorn on Friday, October 31, she and the network announced on social media.
“In true Amy fashion, she got married on Halloween! Here’s a sneak peek of her and Brian’s special day,” TLC shared on Instagram, along with a photo of the beaming bride and groom, as well as a snap of Amy with her sister, Tammy Slaton.
Brian and Amy said their vows at Talbott Tavern, a historic – and possibly haunted – restaurant and inn in Bardstown, Kentucky. It was built in 1779 and is supposedly the oldest western stagecoach stop in America. One of the ghosts who is said to haunt the inn is that of legendary outlaw Jesse James.
‘1000-lb Sisters’ star’s wedding plans caused conflict with her family
Amy’s desire for a Halloween wedding caused conflict in the most recent season of 1000-lb Sisters. In the season 7 finale, an emotional Amy broke down over her family’s objections to her choice of a venue. Initially, Amy had expressed interest in getting married at a supposedly haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Several of her siblings balked at the idea of attending a ceremony at that location.
“You’re right, I don’t want to go to your f*cking wedding if it’s at a goddamn haunted location with demons,” Tammy told her sister.
Previously, Tammy had warned Amy about rushing into another marriage, telling her she should “slow down.”
It’s not clear if all of Amy’s family attended her wedding, but it appears that Tammy was able to overcome her objections to visiting a haunted spot for event.
In a statement to People, Amy said her “old-timey” wedding – which will be seen on the next season of 1000-lb Sisters – was everything she wanted.
“My wedding is a dream finally coming true,” she said “I’m getting my happily ever after!”
However, she hinted at some conflict leading up to her nuptials.
“I deeply cherished the journey of wedding planning, embracing the art and location hunting, but selecting bridesmaids and groomsmen proved to be a profound challenge,” she said, adding that she tapped a friend rather than a sibling to be her maid of honor. “”Yet I intuitively knew that my extraordinary friend Ollisha [Davis] (Lee Lee) would graciously accept the esteemed honor of being my maid of honor, even before I extended the heartfelt invitation.”
