"When I saw Caleb at the altar, I was just picturing doves and butterflies all around like God had opened up the clouds and let the sunlight in," Tammy said.
The wedding day of Tammy Slaton went just as she had envisioned. The 36-year-old married Caleb Willingham in a private ceremony, shared by PEOPLE in an exclusive clip from the March 21st installment of 1000-Lb Sisters. The pair exchanged vows on November 20 at the Gibsonburg, Ohio, Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center, where Tammy has been concentrating on her weight loss journey.
Tammy is seen smiling in the video wearing a white gown and tiara. Caleb broke down in tears as he saw her come down the aisle. "When I saw Caleb at the altar, I was just picturing doves and butterflies all around like God had opened up the clouds and let the sunlight in," Tammy said. "It was magical." Caleb shared the sentiment, as he teared up, adding, "When I finally see her, my heart explodes."
Billy, a family friend, and home care nurse, officiated the wedding. Tammy admitted that she was concerned when he asked if anyone had any objections to their marriage. "I don't think anybody's gonna object, but you never know. My family can be surprising," she said. "But no one said anything, thank God."
Caleb, 39, and Tammy, both residents of a rehabilitation facility, first crossed paths there as they were on their weight loss journey. They made the decision to get married there after falling in love. The pair held a small, intimate celebration for their love and invited 30 friends and family members. "Our wedding day was perfect, there was so much love in the room," Tammy told PEOPLE exclusively after the big day. "I literally married my best friend."
"You all knew me as Tammy Slaton, but now you'll all know me as Mrs. Tammy Willingham," she said at the time. "I'm married now!"
Tammy earlier reflected on the time Caleb proposed to her. The 1000-Lb Sisters star was left speechless as her partner said the words, per PEOPLE. "So it's just been a short time but I know without a doubt you are the most beautiful amazing wonderful person I've ever known," he said, before popping the question, "Will you marry me?"

"We're engaged! I know it's only been three weeks but I've never felt this way about anybody," she added at the time. "The last two relationships I was never this happy." Caleb agreed, adding, "We're gonna get married, we're gonna have a couple of kids, hopefully. Life's gonna be great."
Tammy then added, "Life already is great. But it's basically about to be even better."
