Over Father’s Day weekend, Jill Duggar and spouse Derick Dillard celebrated their first wedding anniversary and excitedly marked the occasion on social media.
The duo shared a sweet post on Instgram through which the couple, who are parents to 2-month-old Israel Davis, wrote love notes for each other.
"Happy anniversary to the man of my dreams!" Duggar wrote in a post on Sunday, the same day that her partner celebrated his first ever Father's Day.
"I can't believe it's already been a year since I had the privilege of saying 'I do!' The longer I'm married to you the more I fall in love, and realize how incredibly blessed I am to have you as my hubby. I'll love you forever!,” the 24-year-old reality star added.
In response, Dillard also reflected on their special occasion as they walked down the aisle and exchanged vows a year ago. The 26-year-old father also posted a wedding photo from their ceremony held in Springdale, Arkansas. He mentioned that 2014 was “the best year” of his life.
"I am beyond grateful to God to have the privilege of serving our Lord and Savior with you for the rest of my life," he wrote. "You are an amazing woman, wife, and mother. My love for you grows every day."
Over the weekend, the duo and their baby in tow were joined by Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald as they took a trip to Ohio and attended ALIVE’s Christian Music festival.
Both Jill and Jessa were invited to speak on the main stage this weekend, as confirmed by the organizers. As a four-day event, ALIVE features live bands, camping, seminars, workshops, children's programs, daily morning worships and more.
The sisters, who rose to fame in TLC’s ‘19 Kids and Counting,’ were reportedly in high spirits as they traveled to Ohio from Arkansas on Friday. The younger Duggar also took to social media and shared photos from the airport with the Dillard family.
"Awesome travel buddies!" the 22-year-old reality star wrote as caption for the photo on Instagram.
The mother-to-be, together with her husband Ben, shared a pregnancy update in her blog post last Wednesday.
"Baby Seewald is growing steadily and Mommy has been feeling some little, yet strong, kicks!” the couple wrote in the update, which was titled ‘Grateful and Blessed.’
Now in her 20th week of pregnancy, Jessa shared that she is beginning to feel some baby kicks inside her belly.
"We recently had an ultrasound, but aren't revealing our firstborn's gender yet," the parents-to-be eagerly shared. "Can't wait to welcome this blessing from God into the world!"
