"19 Kids and Countring Star" Jill Duggar has finally said "I do" to her former boyfriend and now husband Derick Dillard. Their courtship was seen through the eighth season of the reality TV show. Season 8 ended with a proposal and an engagement between Duggar and Dillard.

After the show, there were reports that the couple will officially wed on June 21. The report is now confirmed. Duggar and Dillard has indeed exchanged their lifelong vows last Saturday at Cross Church in Springdale Arkansas, reports E! News.

The wedding was extra special, it was the first time the couple had their first kiss. Fans of the show knew how Duggar and Dillard were very religious and how they stuck to their religious principles.

Before, Duggar shared that they "want to save the physical side of our relationship for our wedding day and not go further than we should. If you are kissing, it gets more intimate. Obviously, you can kiss and not have sex. It's about setting a higher standard so you don't struggle [with temptation]." Mind you, during the proposal, it was also the first time Dillard held Duggar's hand.

Duggar looked elegantly beautiful in pure white as she reportedly wore a "cap sleeve V-neck lace and beaded dress with a full A-line skirt and elbow-length lace veil." Dillard also looked dashing as he wore a gray suit and "peach-colored rose boutonniere."

What about the post-wedding car they used? A classic vintage pickup truck with white and turquoise pom-poms was the fitting choice.

Fans of the show are ecstatic about the nuptials, but more so for Jill and Derick. Duggar already changed her last name in her Instagram account even before the wedding took place.

That's pretty much all the details on their wedding so far. But do wait for season 9 of "19 Kids and Counting," the wedding will be featured there, plus, the possible engagement between Jessa and Ben. Rumor has it that if the 9<sup>th season pushes through, a wedding episode will be made.
