Charlie and his wife, Sabrina, allowed cameras to follow them for four months in 2001 while they planned their wedding. He became famous after the network aired an infamous meltdown he had on a limo driver who informed him that he would be late on the day of his wedding.

Charlie Balducci, star of MTV's 'True Life I'm Getting Married' has died at age 44.

“I will gut you like the f---ing piece of sh-- you are," he shouted at the time. "I'll hunt you down like f--king cattle."

In a 2013 interview with “20/20,” Charlie discussed the meltdown, noting that his chief concern was not upsetting their priest. He recalled having a conversation with the priest prior to the big day.

"And I'm, like, 'Listen, is there anything you need me, to specifically do?'" Balducci said at the time. "He pulls me to the side, he says, 'No, but there's something I don't want you to do.' I go, 'What's that?' He goes, 'Don't be late.'”

He added: "In defense of myself, I really did what any Staten Islander would have done in that situation."

He ultimately ended up being two hours late to his own wedding. He and Sabrina would go on to have two children who are now teenagers.
