Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard's 4th of July photo shows newlywed bliss

Jill and Derick Dillard, who recently wed and embarked on their honeymoon, enjoyed celebrating the Fourth of July back in their home in Springdale, Arkansas. And the couple has no problem sharing their photos online.

Everyone got so excited for the couple's first-ever kiss in the altar back in June 21, when they tied the knot. Just weeks ago, the world gushed at their sweet honeymoon photos and yes, they kissed there too. Now, Jill and Derick posted a photo on Instagram with lips locked and captioned "Happy Independence Day! So grateful for our Godly founding fathers! #4thofjuly #jilldillard #derickdillard #independenceday #19kidsandcounting." The photo showed Jill leaning into her husband for a sweet kiss while putting her hand on his chest. You could see her wedding ring and Derick was holding, a, well... a slice of watermelon.

Jill and Derick are not wasting any time showing their affection to one another. Before marriage, they were not allowed to hold hands or hug. So now that they can and are religiously permitted to do so, Jill and Derick are showing the world how in love they are.

The newlyweds had a traditional backyard party with the family and neighbors to celebrate Independence Day. And it looked like everyone was having a blast.

Meanwhile, Jill and Derick's honeymoon was the first week they spent alone together. They rented a beach house in North Carolina. Jill shared with People Magazine how happy they were in their honeymoon and gladly shared photos of their trips too.

"It was beautiful. It was very private without a lot of people there yet for the season. It was so relaxing. Every morning, we would wake up and go out and sit on the deck and listen to the waves," Jill told People.
