Cast
According to Lifetime's press release, the couple in question is a certain Alexa and Matt. "Alexa has dreamed of her perfect wedding since she was a little girl, but that dream didn't include her walking down the aisle weighing over 300 pounds. In 2016, when she topped out at 305 pounds, she knew something had to be done and decided to have the gastric sleeve procedure performed. After losing half of her body weight — and just as she was beginning to gain self-confidence back — she met Matt, and they have been dating ever since.
Now, they are ready to take that next step in their relationship and get married, but first they want to make sure they are looking their absolute best before saying 'I Do' in front of family and friends. For Matt, that means full liposuction across his stomach and sides, replacing a missing tooth and whitening his teeth. For Alexa, it's ditching all the loose skin under her arms, having liposuction around her torso, getting a breast lift and implants, and a tummy tuck, along with new veneers."
