Jill Duggar Married, Shares Photo From Honeymoon, Tells Fans to Watch Wedding on TLC
Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard are enjoying their honeymoon, and from pictures newly released by the couple, they are spending plenty of time together on the beach. Duggar also told fans to be sure and watch the wedding on TLC, finally confirming that fans of "19 Kids & Counting" will be able to see the wedding.
"Celebrating our weekiversary! Stay tuned to @tlc to watch the wedding!" Duggar posted along with the photo of the newlyweds on the beach.
TLC has not released the date for when the wedding will air, but it is likely to draw in huge ratings, given the immense popularity of the eldest Duggar daughter and the first daughter to marry. There is also speculation that the couple may actually receive their own spin-off series given their popularity. It would be a first for the Duggar family. Son Josh married his girlfriend, Anna, and the couple have three children. Each birth was filmed for TV, but the couple does not have their own show.
"There is huge interest in this couple," a TV executive told Naughty but Nice Rob. "They are the anti-Kim and Kanye West. Expect a spinoff special [to] be announced very soon."
It's unknown where the couple is enjoying their honeymoon or where they will finally settle down once they return home. There has been talk by matriarch Michelle Duggar about the couple traveling and performing missionary work anywhere in the world. Before returning to the U.S., Dillard and his family had been working in Nepal. Jim Bob Duggar was the one to arrange for the couple to meet and things blossomed from there.
Jill and Derick courted for some time before exchanging vows in front of over 1,000 guests at their church in Arkansas. The couple paid homage to their parents by having a special viewing of Michelle's wedding dress and Derick's late father's police uniform.
