1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton broke down in tears over her sister Tammy’s refusal to go to her wedding.
Now, for any TLC viewers who are out of the loop, the 38-year-old reality TV star tied the knot with groom Brian Lovvorn in a spooky season-themed wedding which took place on Halloween (31 October)in Bardstown, Kentucky.
The wedding in question came two years after Amy’s divorce from her ex-husband, Michael Halterman, with whom she shares two sons.
The pair got engaged after just five months of dating, when he proposed during a haunted house visit - so the alternative wedding theme seems to make total sense.

However, it wouldn't be a Slaton event if there wasn't a heavy dose of drama.
In an episode which aired last month, viewers watched on as tensions surfaced when her siblings refused to attend her wedding, with the family sharing their concerns that she may be moving too fast in her new relationship, and sharing their disapproval of her chosen wedding location.
During the sisters' row, Tammy and Amy argued over the wedding’s location which was Talbott Tavern, a historic restaurant and inn which is said to be haunted.
"Being here with my siblings and them back-talking me all day and everything," Amy said on the show.
"I'm tired of it. And as soon as Tammy's awake, I'm gone. Tammy will understand. And if she don't, she ain't coming to my wedding."
Speaking to her teary sister, Tammy - who has lost an incredible amount of weight in the past year - said she’d be 'more than willing to go' and even 'be a bridesmaid,' but 'not somewhere that’s cursed'.
"I wasn't going to your wedding at a haunted location like that with demons," Tammy declared.
"You should go there and support me. No matter where the location is," Amy said while crying, before Tammy jumped: "No. You're out of your mind."
Now, the whole ordeal resulted in Amy not picking Tammy as her maid of honour. Instead, she selected her close pal Ollisha Davis to fill the role which marked a notable change from tradition as, in 2019, Tammy had served as Amy’s maid of honour.
In the end, Tamy appeared to have attended the wedding as a guest but not in a formal bridal party role. She was visible but seemingly not among the posed bridal photos.
"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," Amy told PEOPLE ahead of the ceremony.
"Yet I intuitively knew that my extraordinary friend Ollisha (Lee Lee) would graciously accept the esteemed honour of being my maid of honour, even before I extended the heartfelt invitation."
