Indeed, the couple faced a number of challenges during the first year of their marriage. Six months after tying the knot in what Mama June described as a “spur of the moment” ceremony, the 43-year-old was hospitalized due to severe headaches and dizziness. In February, Mama June’s 17-year-old daughter Alana was involved in a traffic stop with boyfriend Dralin Carswell that led to his DUI arrest.
However, Mama June and Justin had plenty to celebrate as a couple as well. Earlier this year, the duo exchanged vows in a second wedding ceremony in Panama City, Fla. Attended by friends and family, including Mama June’s grandchildren Stella, Sylus and Bentley Efird—who Lauryn shares with husband Joshua Efird—the nuptials were “the first time the family had all been together since 2014,” according to the TV personality.
“It was really special to get married in a place where my family and I have had so many memories,” she said in a statement shared by WE tv. “All four of my girls walked me down to Justin, and his mom walked him down the aisle.”
