Why Did Mama June’s Surprise Vow Renewal Turn Awkward? Here’s What Went Wrong

As a dedicated follower of Mama June: Family Crisis, I was deeply saddened by the loss of Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell and the solemn mood that surrounded her memorial service. However, I was taken aback when Mama June announced a surprise vow renewal between herself and Justin Stroud instead of honoring Anna’s memory.


During the episode dedicated to mourning the loss of Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, Mama June Shannon’s eldest daughter, the family gathered to say their final goodbyes. The event was solemn as they paid tribute to the mother of two. However, the tone shifted dramatically when Mama June announced that they had all come together to renew her vows with Sugar Bear Stroud rather than honoring Anna’s memory.

Shannon expressed her excitement about the vow renewal day being fantastic and enjoyable. However, this thoughtless act created an unpleasant response from the other family members. Among them, Justin Stroud was particularly mortified, and he blurted out in disbelief, “June, really? What are we doing?”

Justin Stroud felt he was not being heard, vow was superficial

An unanticipated vow renewal ceremony worsened matters for Mama June Shannon and Justin Stroud’s tenuous marriage. Caught off-guard, Stroud felt bewildered and displeased by the whole ordeal, which Shannon had meticulously arranged without his knowledge.

Mama June Shannon expressed deep emotion and excitement as she shared her heartfelt vows for marriage to Stroud, repeating her commitment multiple times regardless of the day’s mood. She acknowledged Stroud’s unwavering support throughout Chickadee’s illness and passing, and thanked him for his active involvement in their ongoing legal battle against Michael Cardwell for custody of their granddaughter Kaitlyn.

Mama June’s vow renewal sparked controversy and embarrassment

Stroud stayed unfazed by the vow renewal ceremony and viewed it as shallow since it failed to tackle the underlying problems in their marriage. Despite Mama June Shannon urging him to share his thoughts, he offered lackluster responses. However, following the ceremony, Stroud opened up to Shannon. He conveyed, “During a vow renewal, this is an understanding between both the husband and wife, not merely something the wife arranges.”

On July 19, the final episode of Mama June: Family Crisis Season 6 was broadcasted. You can watch all the episodes from this season on The USA network or Philo.
