"The day was very special mostly because my girls were able to take part in it," June told People magazine at the time. "I felt like it was important for them to see this moment and celebrate my love for Sugar Bear."
Mama June also revealed her advice on men. "Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," she said. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea."
The two have put their lives on display on the popular TLC show since 2012. The show also features their 9-year-old daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, a child beauty pageant star formerly on Toddlers and Tiaras. Thompson's three sisters - Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon and Anna "Chickadee" Shannon - also appear on the reality show.
