TLC star Amy Slaton tied the knot in a spooky wedding celebration on Halloween!

Slaton and her boyfriend Brian Lovvorn got married at Talbott Tavern, a historic restaurant and inn in Bardstown, Ky., that’s said to be haunted.

For the couple, who got engaged inside the padded room of a haunted house, it was only fitting that they said “I do” at a ghostly location. In fact, that was their one wedding non-negotiable.

“My wedding is a dream finally coming true,” Amy, 38, exclusively tells PEOPLE. “I’m getting my happily ever after!

The couple’s intimate, “old-timey” wedding was themed “Victorian meets light gray meets dusty blue and white.” The 1000-Lb. Sisters star’s handmade artwork was also on display, alongside “moons everywhere.”

“I deeply cherished the journey of wedding planning, embracing the art and location hunting, but selecting bridesmaids and groomsmen proved to be a profound challenge,” Amy says. “Yet I intuitively knew that my extraordinary friend Ollisha [Davis] (Lee Lee) would graciously accept the esteemed honor of being my maid of honor, even before I extended the heartfelt invitation.”

The bride dyed her hair a “special color” for the big day, per Lovvorn’s request. Back in May, Amy told PEOPLE, “Brian wants me to have pink hair for the wedding, and I want to have a Victorian style updo.” Her wedding gown featured flower and vine details in the beading.

It wasn’t until the wedding processional that Amy and Lovvorn saw each other on their wedding day, making the ceremony in which they exchanged traditional vows even more momentous. The ceremony was officiated by their friend, Billy, who also officiated Tammy Slaton and Caleb Willingham’s wedding in 2022 at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio.

“Getting married means that I’m no longer lonely because I’ve discovered my soulmate, Brian, is my happy place!” Amy says. “Once you get to know him, you’ll find him to be the sweetest, most caring person you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing! Not only did he capture my heart, but he also won over my boys and not many men out there will accept a single mom with two energetic boys!”

She continues, “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! He is always enthusiastic about exploring new horizons with us or simply enjoying quality time indoors, playing games with the boys!”

Amy shares two sons — Gage Deon, 4, and Glenn Allen, 3 — with ex-husband Michael Halterman.

“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,” says Lovvorn, who first met Amy at a concert in the park.

At the reception, the newlyweds had a “special” first dance. Afterward, the couple and their guests dined on barbecue pork and country-fried steak before enjoying slices of the geode-style wedding cake and cupcakes in three flavors: bananas and cream, cookies and cream, and salted caramel dark chocolate.
