Amy Slaton’s Halloween Dream Wedding: A Victorian Romance
In a bewitching celebration of love, “1,000-Lb. Sisters” star Amy Slaton and her boyfriend Brian Lovvorn exchanged vows on Halloween in a ceremony that perfectly captured their unique love story. “My wedding is a dream finally coming true,” the 38-year-old reality star shared with People magazine, her voice filled with emotion. “I’m getting my happily ever after!” The couple’s wedding venue—the allegedly haunted Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, Kentucky—was a fitting choice for the pair who became engaged last year during a visit to a haunted house. Amy approached her Victorian-themed wedding with enthusiasm, though she admitted that while she enjoyed the creative aspects of planning and venue selection, choosing her wedding party presented challenges. Her special day included her close friend Ollisha Davis as maid of honor, a choice Amy described as intuitive: “I intuitively knew that my extraordinary friend Ollisha would graciously accept the esteemed honor of being my maid of honor, even before I extended the heartfelt invitation.”
The bride captivated guests in her sleeveless lace gown complemented by a dark gray tiara that beautifully contrasted with her vibrant newly-dyed red hair. Amy’s sister and reality show co-star Tammy Slaton showed her support dressed in all-black attire that matched the Halloween spirit of the celebration. The couple’s romance, which began in early 2024 after a chance meeting at a local park concert, has blossomed into what Amy describes as finding her “soulmate” and “happy place.” For Amy, who was previously married to Michael Halterman from 2019 to 2023, this new relationship represents the end of loneliness and the beginning of a partnership with someone she describes as “the sweetest, most caring person you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing.”
What makes their relationship particularly special to Amy is Brian’s acceptance of her role as a mother. “Not only did he capture my heart, but he also won over my boys,” she shared warmly, referring to her sons Gage, 4, and Glenn, 3, whom she shares with her ex-husband. Finding a partner who embraces her children was clearly significant for Amy, as she expressed appreciation for how uncommon it is to find “men out there who will accept a single mom with two energetic boys.” The reality star spoke with obvious affection about how Brian encourages her personal growth: “I adore how he inspires me to be a better version of myself, how he prioritizes my well-being and that of my boys, selflessly putting our needs before his own.” This nurturing quality in their relationship seems to have provided Amy with a supportive foundation as she embarks on this new chapter of her life.
The wedding celebration, which fans will be able to witness in the upcoming season of “1,000-Lb. Sisters,” represents not just a personal milestone for Amy but also a new storyline in the popular docuseries that follows the weight loss journeys of Amy and her sister Tammy. While the show has documented the sisters’ struggles and triumphs with health and weight management, Amy’s romance with Brian introduces a fresh narrative of hope and new beginnings. The groom shared his thoughtful perspective on marriage with People magazine, saying, “Getting married is a promise to spend the rest of our days trying to make each other’s days as good as they can be, whatever that means and at any given time.” His words reflect a mature understanding of partnership that focuses on mutual support and daily kindness rather than grand romantic gestures.
Looking toward their future together, Brian spoke about their aspirations beyond marriage, expressing hope that Amy will continue pursuing her artistic endeavors while he explores opportunities in sports coverage and writing. Most importantly, he emphasized their shared commitment to “raise the boys the best we can,” highlighting how their blended family remains central to their life plans. The couple’s relationship first became public in April when Amy shared a spring-themed post on Instagram introducing Brian to her followers. The caption—”Spring love in the air, Brian Lovvorn”—hinted at the fresh start and renewed happiness Amy had found after her divorce. Their relationship milestone celebrations continued publicly when Amy marked their first anniversary in June with an Instagram post declaring, “Happy 1-year anniversary, baby!! One year down, a lifetime to go!!”
This Halloween wedding represents more than just a spooky-themed celebration for Amy and Brian—it symbolizes a new beginning for a woman who has shared her most vulnerable struggles with millions of television viewers. From weight loss challenges to the complexities of co-parenting after divorce, Amy’s journey has been one of perseverance through difficulties. In finding love with Brian, she appears to have discovered a partner who appreciates her authentic self and supports her continued growth. As fans prepare to witness this next phase of Amy’s life on screen, her Halloween wedding serves as a reminder that new chapters can begin on any day—even the spookiest one of the year. With her sister Tammy by her side and Brian’s love in her heart, Amy Slaton’s Victorian-themed Halloween wedding wasn’t just about ghosts and ghouls, but about celebrating the very real and living love that has transformed her life.
