Jill Duggar, the star of “19 Kids and Counting,” is a married woman and shared her very kiss with new husband Derick Dillard on Saturday, June 21 after tying the knot in an intimate ceremony at Cross Church in Springdale, Ark.
The couple, who is very conservative Christians, had decided not to engage in any physical activity (except hand holding after their engagement) until the day of their wedding. A source told E! News that the 23-year-old reality star wore a simple white V-neck lace gown and lace veil while her hubby went with a gray suit and peach-colored rose boutonniere.
“I think it is safer and makes it more special to wait to kiss until your wedding day,” Duggar, 23, told People.
“You can really get to know each other on every level without the physical part of it,” the groom added. “I am the most blessed man to have Jill.”
Five of Duggar’s sisters acted as bridesmaids and two brothers were groomsmen.
At the rehearsal dinner, Dillard asked those in attendance to pray for his mother, Cathy, who is suffering from cancer.
USmagazine.com reported the couple’s wedding registry listed very practical items for gifts, including Raisin Bran, Instant Noodles, a tape measure and WD-40. The couple also suggested a 12-gauge shotgun and Smith & Wesson rifle.
