Mama June has revealed she was able to have her dream wedding on a budget as she proudly reveals how much her wedding to Justin 'Smallz' Stroud cost.

The pair tied the knot for the second time in under 12 months after initially getting married in secret. For their second wedding, the reality TV star whose real name is June Shannon said they were able to foot the entire bill at a relatively low cost.

The 43-year-old gushed over her "extravagant" Florida wedding, revealing she was able to get the whole ceremony - dresses, the lot - for a fee of $13,000. According to The Knot, the average cost of a stateside wedding last year was more than double that at $30,000.

Speaking to Page Six, the newlyweds listed how they were able to celebrate on a budget as well as paying for others to attend. And June also made it clear that none of her days was "comped".

"And I’ll tell you like this, we paid $13,000. No lie," June told the publication.

She later added that the final running total included her venue, hotel rooms for guests, wedding and bridesmaid dresses, the fee of the couple's wedding planner and a number of activities over the weekend of celebrations.

Speaking about the intimate occasion, June continued: "We had only 38 people at our wedding and it was his family and my family only. And we had an amazing wedding designer and she put together an extravagant wedding that looked like I paid $50,000."

She was walked down the aisle by her four kids, Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell, 28, Jessica Shannon, 26, Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, 23, and Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson, 17. Hubby Justin was escorted to the altar by his mum.

Shortly after the wedding, June told the same publication: " This was the first time the family had all been together since 2014.

"So it was really special to get married in a place where my family and I have had so many memories!"

Explaining why they had first opted for a secret wedding, she revealed: "We wanted to have a small and very intimate wedding, so we didn’t have any groomsmen or bridesmaids.

"It was kind of a spontaneous thing. I asked him to marry me. It’s 2022, ladies. You can ask your husband to marry you."
