Photos from the late Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s wedding show the glowing bride nine months before her tragic passing.
In pictures obtained by TMZ, the oldest daughter of June “Mama June” Shannon was all smiles as she tied the knot with husband Eldridge Toney.
Cardwell — who passed away last month following her battle with stage 4 cancer — wore a plunging white gown and let her red locks fall in loose curls onto her shoulders.
Toney opted for a light button-down shirt and blue trousers for the big day, finishing off his wedding attire with a Mattco Tools hat.
One of the snaps showed Cardwell gleaming with joy as she held onto Toney’s hands at the altar during the ceremony.
The wedding appears to have taken place outdoors in a backyard, surrounded by bouquets of blue and white flower arrangements.
Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird’s husband, Joshua Efird, was seen officiating the wedding.
As for Cardwell’s wedding guests, the 29-year-old smiled alongside her sisters — Lauryn, Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon and Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson — as well as her mother, June.
Cardwell’s daughters, Kaitlyn, 11, and Kylee, 8 — whom she shares with two previous partners — were also in attendance for the big day.
Cardwell and Toney — who had been together since June 2017 — secretly wed on March 4, 2023, in Wilkinson County, Ga.

Sources told TMZ at the time that Cardwell wanted to tie the knot “while she was still feeling well enough to go through a ceremony.”
The mother of two was undergoing chemo at the time after being diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma two months prior.
Per the outlet, cameras were also rolling at the wedding for the WE tv reality series “Mama June: Family Crisis.”
Cardwell passed away on Dec. 9, 2023.
“With the breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us. She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM,” June, 44, wrote via Instagram at the time.
“She gave one hell of a fight for 10 months she passed away with her family around her.”
Thompson, 18, also shared a statement to Instagram following her sister’s passing.
“This is one post I wish I didn’t have to make 💔 Last night we all surrounded Anna with love & let her know it was okay to go. Unfortunately around 11pm Anna took her last breathe [sic].”
The teen continued, “Anna was in so much pain last night but now as a family we all know she is at peace now. I really don’t know what to say as my heart is completely broken. Watching my 29 year old sister this last year battle this horrible disease hasn’t been easy.”
