One more Duggar marriage and it’ll count!

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 12th child, Jason Duggar, married his girlfriend Maddie Grace on Thursday in front of 300 guests at The Estate at Sweetwater Creek in Tennessee, People magazine exclusively revealed on Friday.

The couple tied the knot and revealed all the details about their special day to the entertainment outlet.

“To have everyone together just to celebrate us, because there’s never going to be another day in your life where all of your loved ones are together,” the newly minted Maddie Duggar told People, adding, “Especially for us, because I’m from Tennessee, and so half of my family lives in Tennessee and Kentucky, and then we move to Arkansas.”

She told People that the celebrations were special because the happy couple “could see everyone in one place,” telling the magazine, “It’s just a big party where everyone comes together.” The couple met for the first time in December and got engaged in August.

According to People, eight of Jason Duggar’s 18 siblings were at the wedding party. Everydiah Duggar served as best man alongside groomsmen James Duggar, Justin Duggar and Jackson Duggar. The bridesmaids’ squad included the groom’s sisters Johannah Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Jordyn-Grace Duggar and youngest child Josie Duggar.

The duo met in Instagram DMs after Jason Duggar joked about settling down with his older sister Jana, who married her husband Stephen Wissmann in August.

“I spoke to (older sister) Jana. I told her: ‘Listen, Jana, you have to go to the streets if you want to find a man.’ So I was like, ‘Look, listen, I’m going to jump here just to find someone, just to show you that I can do it,'” he told People. Maddie added: “Jase found my profile just because he accidentally tapped the notification button, he saw my profile picture. He said, ‘Oh, she’s cute.’ However, it was definitely a God thing.

She told the outlet, “There was no way we would have found each other. It was just crazy.” And now, almost a year later, the two have tied the knot.

“I think for both of us we’re actually pretty simple people. It’s like we just live together,” Jason Duggar said. “Just being able to enjoy the next stages of life and take the next steps.”
