Maddie Grace describes her wedding ceremony to Jason Duggar as a 'big party'

Before saying, "I do," Maddie Grace said they could not wait to tie the knot in the presence of the loved ones gathered together.

"Especially for us, because I'm from Tennessee, and so half my family lives in Tennessee and Kentucky, and then we're moving to Arkansas. Just being able to see everybody in one place. It's just a big party where everybody gets together," told Maddie to People.

The duo chose Newport in Tennessee, Maddie's home state, to exchange the wedding vows attracted by the "gorgeous" mountains. The scenery also offered a "just perfect" setting to plan the fall-themed ceremony.

Musical band Sleeping at Last's romantic ballad 'Turning Page' played in the background as Maddie walked down the aisle to enter her new stage of life with Jason. Her longtime pastor officiated the nuptials.

 Jedidiah Duggar was the best man while James Duggar, Justin Duggar, and Jackson Duggar were part of the groomsmen.

Maddie had Johanna Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Jordan Duggar, and Josie Duggar as bridesmaids on her side.

The reception had an Italian menu to celebrate their upcoming honeymoon in Italy. For the dessert, the guests had cheesecake and ice cream. They concluded the stunning ceremony with a joyous dance party alongside family and friends.

Jason Duggar and Maddie Grace's love story

The newlywed's love story bloomed on social media after they first met online through Instagram in December 2023.

"I kind of basically got lost on there," Jason remembered about meeting his wife.

He said, "I was talking with Jana. I was telling her, I was like, 'Listen, Jana, you got to put yourself out there if you want to find a guy.' So I was like, 'Look, listen, I'm going to hop on here just to find someone, just to show you that I can do it.'"

However, Maddie noted her husband saw her profile as an accident after he unintentionally tapped on the notification button. She remarked, "It was definitely a God thing, though. There's no way we would've found each other. It was just crazy." 

The couple made their relationship official by posting romantic photos on Instagram in May, and Jason proposed to Maddie on August 24.

Regarding their future plans, the couple said they were looking forward to "traveling" and "settling down" for a while.
