1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton gets married despite family concerns
Amy Slaton has officially tied the knot with her new partner Brian Lovvorn, despite her family's concerns.
The 1000-lb Sisters reality TV star got hitched to groom Brian Lovvorn in a spooky wedding on Halloween (October 31), and it's got fans talking.
The 38-year-old, who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, had been proudly flaunting her incredible weight loss journey before saying 'I do' at a wedding venue in Bardstown, Kentucky - roughly a 45-minute drive south of Louisville, and a two-hour drive east of her hometown of Dixon.
The TLC star and Lovvorn got engaged after just five months of dating, when he proposed during a haunted house visit - proving the pair share a flair for the dramatic.

Their Halloween-themed big day came just two years after Amy’s divorce from ex-husband Michael Halterman.
Just last year, Amy found herself in legal trouble after she and Brian were arrested at a Tennessee zoo and charged with drug possession and child endangerment.
They later pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana and mushrooms, while the child endangerment charges were dropped.
Despite the controversy, the couple have stood by each other ever since, and have now sealed the deal with matching rings.
But not everyone in Amy’s world seemed thrilled about the wedding.
Fans noticed that her sister and co-star Tammy Slaton wasn’t part of the bridal party - not even as a bridesmaid, with some also spotting that Tammy watched on from a nearby bench, while the rest of the wedding party posed for pics.
Of course, the internet’s gone into full detective mode - many reckon it’s another sign of drama between the sisters, especially after reports about the family’s worries over Amy’s fast-paced relationship.
Speaking about her big day, Amy told People: "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."
Before touching on her reality TV show, she continued: "I’m excited for them [the viewers] to finally see my Brady Bunch-like loving husband! And that my kids are wonderful and that I’m a boss wife!
"I have a husband who will go outside and play sports with my boys!"
While Lovvorn added: "I’m excited for TLC viewers to see my beautiful bride, and also the cool venue."
Amy also shared that Brian has 'won over her boys', four-year-old Gage and three-year-old Glenn.
