Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird and her fiancé, Darrin Kitchens, have moved into active wedding planning, and the guest list is emerging as the central question. Pumpkin told TMZ that the couple has settled on September 25, 2027, as the target date for their nuptials.
The pair has already visited multiple wedding venues, according to Pumpkin, but has not yet settled on a location. She indicated that the ceremony need not take place in Georgia, saying the couple is reviewing options across a range of locations.
Pumpkin told TMZ she would prefer a small celebration with a guest count below 100. Kitchens, by contrast, is open to the prospect of welcoming fans to the event, she said.
Mama June has offered her own proposal: selling tickets to the wedding. Pumpkin told TMZ that no price point has been discussed, and that a second possibility remains on the table — setting up an entry form and drawing between 50 and 100 fans at random to attend.
No final decision has been reached on either idea. Pumpkin told TMZ she is confident that Mama June will take part in the celebrations regardless of the format.
The engagement itself was a production. TMZ previously reported that Kitchens proposed in October after reserving a full rooftop terrace at an Atlanta restaurant. Pumpkin's sister, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, attended with her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell.
Alongside the planning, Pumpkin told TMZ she is balancing brand collaborations and her OnlyFans work.
