Like most good American relationships, June Shannon and Mike Thompson met online almost a decade ago, and shortly after they met up in person for some carefree, unprotected sex. Luckily for them, the result was Alana Thompson, AKA Honey Boo Boo Child, and just a few years later, they’d all be making millions of dollars for being one of the most beloved and loathed redneck families to grace our televisions.
Famously known as Mama June and Sugar Bear, Shannon and Thompson finally tied the knot yesterday at a small reception for friends and family in Georgia, and of course the cameras were rolling for the upcoming season of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Everyone in attendance was asked to wear either camouflage or hot pink, and despite their best efforts, no one showed up with shotgun and rifles.
June told People Magazine that the couple chose to keep the ceremony low-key because it was about “the focus on the family and my commitment to Sugar Bear”. And if they spent a lot of the wedding, they wouldn’t have enough money left to buy their matching El Caminos and lifetime supply of Mountain Dew.
