Members of the family — including Honey Boo Boo and her sisters Pumpkin, Chicadee and Chubbs — gathered in their backyard in Georgia to watch the ceremony and celebrate with a barbecue.

"My sister baked the cake, and we spent most of the money on barbecue," June, whose real name is June Shannon, tells People. "We stayed true to our roots and made the focus on the family and my commitment to Sugar Bear. You can definitely plan an event on a budget!"
