On Sunday evening, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and all of their children (minus Josh), in-laws, and grandchildren watched as cousin Amy Duggar married Dillon King at Horton Farms in Gravette, Arkansas.
"They've been through so much and it means the world to me that they want to come to my wedding even though their whole world is turned upside down right now," Amy told PEOPLE Magazine.
Amy met with her extended family before the ceremony. "I gave [Anna] the biggest hug ever when I first saw her," said the new bride, who reported that Anna looked gorgeous. "She said she's very happy for me."
To show her love and support, Amy left handwritten cards on Anna and Michelle's chairs.
"I gave Aunt Michelle a gift certificate for her favorite restaurant so she and Uncle Jim Bob can have a really sweet date night. And I felt like Anna needed to be pampered so I got her a mani-pedi certificate to a nail salon. I feel like she needs that."

So sweet! Good job Amy!
ReplyDeleteI think that was really sweet for Amy to do that for Anna. I'm sure she'll enjoy every last second of it. Congrats to the newly married couple.
ReplyDeleteAmy is so thoughtful and sweet. Bless her marriage I pray in Jesus name. Amen
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful gesture, but I'm not surprised you ALL are beautiful people..Blessings to you all.
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOO sweet of Amy!!!
ReplyDeleteHere it is her wedding and she is thinking of her family first!!!
So sweet!!! :-)
Such a strong family... I am sending prayers for strength and healing.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS HOW FAMILIES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER. LOVE ONE ANOTHER NO MATTER WHAT. THAT IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I PRAY AMY AND HER NEW HUBBY WILL BE HAPPY AND HAVE A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED LIFE TOGETHER. GOD BLESS ALL THE DUGGARS....I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH, AND I PRAY WE GET TO SEE ALL OF YOU ON A GOOD CHANNEL SOON....YOU ARE LOVED BY SOOOO MANY OF US...GOD BLESS.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for your family. Your family should not have to pay for one man's sin. I am so sorry that Anna and the children are having to go thru this as well....I pray that Josh allows God to heal him completely and heal his marriage. I know that God has something so special planned for your family. If I never get to meet any of you in person....I know that when the Lord returns, I will get to meet everyone of you! I will continue to support you and your family and will keep reading your blogs and posts! Thank you for your commitment to the Lord and staying as strong as can be expected!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Tammy! No family should have to go through this because of the mistakes and sins of one family member! Josh can get forgiveness for his sins just as anyone else can. Even tho social media will never forgive him, God will! I agree that Josh needs help, which he's getting. Please be fair, and don't blame the whole family for what Josh did!
DeleteThey should of kept the show going! This trauma to the family, is and has happened in familys all over the world! Why not show how a Christian family continues on during this time! That's the prob with reality tv, its not real if the real life isn't shown! Perhaps others could of gained strength in how this family is dealing! Just my thought
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteIf you were in this circumstance, would you want it as a tv show?
DeleteI wonder why they do not find another tv Channel to air their show. I bet Hallmark or Insp would.
DeleteThat would be wonderful! I would love to see this awesome, Godly family back on tv! They were an inspiration and a blessing to so many!
DeleteI absolutely agree!
DeleteJill is so adorable. She's always barefooted! My grandmother always said I'm like an Indian girl, because I kick my shoes off, too! Haha!
ReplyDeleteWhy did Michelle wear white to the wedding? White is reserved for the bride.
ReplyDeleteLooks like here dress is more yellow to me
DeleteGod Bless all of you. Congratulations Amy and Dillon on your marriage. I pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the new couple!
ReplyDeleteIs Jill pregnant again?? She looks very pregnant in this picture. I sorta hope she is. She`s amazing
I was questioning the same thing.
DeleteSuch a sweet family. So thankful they support each other. What a sweet gesture on Amy's part.
ReplyDeleteAnna is a wonderful young lady. Praying for this family.
Congratulations ..... wish we could've seen your wedding. May God be with you.
ReplyDeletePraying for Anna & the Duggars.
That was a wonderful thimg for Amy to do. Speaking for experience and unless you have been there you cant speak. I stayed with my cheater, nothing what Josh did but just as bad. And our marriage has lost so much. We have changed and figured out a lot but we lost a lot and there are things that we will never get back. No matter who you are and your faith is it's hard and she may hurt every day like I do just because she feels like her beliefs are keeping her with him and that is sad. I feel for you Anna. Anyone that stays with a cheater loses something and never really is happy anymore. It's forever there you just can live each day for it is. You have four beautifu children just focus on them for now and when you are ready then and only then start with the marriage. He is the one that has the problems and he has to honest with you. I don't know if counseling will help you it didn't for me I was and am hurt to deep. I wish I could talk with you sometimes having someone that has experienced it is helpful, there is no judging or pressure. You will be in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWHY CAN'T ANOTHER NETWORK PICKUP THIS SHOW " LIFE GOES ON" AND JUST ELIMINATE JOSH. IT IS A VERY GOOD SHOW AND WHY SHOULD THE CAST AND THE AUDIENCE SUFFER. WE LOVE THIS SHOW....BRING IT BACK.....
ReplyDeleteyay! congratulations AMY
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some close-up pictures of Amy in her wedding gown and her wedding party.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a big happy family to me. Hope it turned out awesome for all. Tnx Amy for sharing your special day. Congradulations
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks so nice! Especially Michelle, I really like that dress. She looks classy.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but wonder if Jill is expecting again(and Israel is getting older)?
I am glad the family is there to support Anna. She also looks nice. I hope she is focused on what matters the most, her children. And to know none of this is her fault. She is an amazing woman. But when your spouse decides to cheat or sin, it their doing and choice. Not her fault at all. It would not of mattered who he was married to, the enemy will do anything to get a foot hold on someone. Lust, porn is his ultimate weapons. It is sad but true. Temptation sucks but the pleasing the Lord should be our number one desire. It would keep so much sin out of our lives. Anna is such an inspiring and beautiful woman. She can get through this. Even if she does leave Josh, God can provide the strength and wisdom to overcome the devastation. If you believe, he will give you double for your trouble. A better, trustworthy husband..( it could be someone new or Josh made new). It will happen. You did not deserve this. He may have had this come to light or so to say rip him down to rebuild him. He knew he wasn't going to stop on his own. Now he can begin to work on him (hopefully he repents). It will work out for the best.
Amy that was so sweet of you. Your sweet family needed to feel loved and on your special day you went out of your way to bless them.I pray you and Dillon are blessed all the days of your lives. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI miss you Duggar clan. I know you are going through a terrible time right know. Sending my blessing. I hope at some point TLC will have you back.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet
ReplyDeleteAmy is such an awesome young lady! Mr and Mrs King! I wish you both all the best in starting your life together. Wow it has been such an honor to be able to watch all the kids grow up. I will continue to keep these wonderful families in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteStay strong Anna, I to had a husband that strayed but I took a vow for better or worse, richer or poorer. I meant ever word of my vow's. This was 30 years ago we are going on 49 years.
ReplyDeleteWhere are Anna and her children living?
ReplyDeleteAw, that was so sweet of Amy to make Michelle and Anna feel special and loved on her own special day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Amy and Dillon.. hope you have a very long and happy marriage..God Bless you and the entire Duggar Family
ReplyDeleteWell done Miss Amy, well done. Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Gesture Amy to Anna and Michelle. You look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis just made me cry
ReplyDeleteAmy, how very, very kind of you to remember Michelle and Anna in such a thoughtful way. It was your big day; and when most brides only think of themselves, you were thinking of the needs of others. I Really admire what you did.
ReplyDeleteMy heart and prayers go out to all of you. I will continue to lift you up before the Lord! May the Lord bless and keep you all!
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful and loving! Such a great thing to do for Michelle and Anna! Congratulation Amy and Dillon! I hope you have a long and happy life together!
ReplyDeleteGood for Amy fro taking the time to think of others on her special day. I'm praying for Anna - I greatly admire her for praying for her husband and trying to understand the situation and make sure God receives the glory throughout. She is a great source of encouragement to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing for Amy to do for her Aunt Michele & Anna.
ReplyDeleteContrats Amy. May you and your husband have many many wonderful years together.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the family had a happy time during their sad news with their son Josh. That was very thoughtful of you Amy to show your love and support to Anna and her children, and also to Michelle. Wishing Amy and Dillon a healthy and happy life together. Thanks for the beautiful picture of the family.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly sweet! It warmed my heart to read this!
ReplyDeleteThis is what family is about......thinking of those who are hurting and helping the healing process in whatever we can do, big or small. These things really do count.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly a lovely family. Many of us love you all and pray for you all.
How very thoughtful of Amy :-) To think of others on her big day is REALLY cool :-)
ReplyDeleteStill praying for this family!
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly kind and thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Amy & Dillon! So happy for you both!
ReplyDeleteI fully support all of you, you are such a great, wonderful, happy family! Thanks for the updates, I really love them! Keep `em coming!
I just wish TLC would wake up.
ReplyDeleteThat was very sweet of Amy to bless Michelle and especially Anna in that way :)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS AMY ON YOUR WEDDING, I AM SO GLAD YOUR FAMILY HAVE ALL THE LOVE AND STRENGTH STICKING TOGETHER AND BE THE FAMILY I USED TO LOVE TO WATCH UNTIL TLC CANCLED THE BEST SHOW THAT WAS ON ON TUESDAY SADLY MISSED!
ReplyDeleteAw! bless Amy's sweet little heart!
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful .we all need times to be uplifted when going through a very tough time.
ReplyDeleteAmy is so sweet and has a big heart. It is so awesome that she showed her support for Anna (and the rest of the Duggars). <3
ReplyDeleteI know it's useless but I miss Michelle and her kids. This is impossible. It seems so unfair.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is derogatory if you take a wonderful show and have it spoiled by a skeleton in the closet I loved that show now I cant even think of caring about what goes on but amy all the best sweetness
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Amy and Anna hugging is so sweet. I feel so sad for Anna going through such heartbreak and betrayal. And Amy for having her wedding tainted with her cousin's scandals. Josh really messed up this family's image? How will the others find life partners willing to be tied to such scandal? Its all so sad.
ReplyDeleteI think that was very sweet of Amy!
ReplyDeleteJill must be pregnant!
ReplyDeleteI love this family and will miss seeing them on air. None of us are perfect but God is the only judge in this matter. I pray all great things for this family.
ReplyDeleteThat was really sweet!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Amy King. You were a beautiful bride. You are an amazing young lady of God. The fact that you honored Michelle and Anna shows that you have a mighty Spirt.
ReplyDeleteThat is so very sweet. Amy so nice of u to think of both of them on your beautiful dày.
ReplyDeleteI pray You and Dillon have a beautiful, fun married life together!! :)
How sweet! It's always a blessing to think of others! Amy has shown that here! Praying for the Duggar family
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to know that Amy pampered those two even on her own special day! The media (including People magazine) are as quick to shred them to pieces as they are to build them up. But I'm glad they know how to keep on keeping on in spite of it and that they were able to enjoy themselves despite the recent chaos.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of Amy to think of others on her big day!! This is such a great example of how Christians families should act. Never been a big Amy fan but with this I just started really appreciating her. God bless this wonderful family. I just can not understand why another network has not picked up this family's show?! We are missing them sooo much!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the reasons I love Amy.
ReplyDeleteI hope Anna knows that she is not obligated to attend every Duggar family function if she doesn't feel like it. I hope they give her breathing room to be alone if she needs to be. I'd rather see her with her own family, out of the limelight.
ReplyDeleteanyone notice that Josh Duggar is missing in this photo?
ReplyDeleteIs this day and time the true meaning of marriage is taken so light.my heart goes out to Anna having been in her shoes. God will give you and your family strength to get thru but your marriage is forever changed
ReplyDeleteGood for Amy. She is loyal to her family. God Bless Amy and her family.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
Beautiful! Love and pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing that Amy did for Anna and Michelle. She definitely
ReplyDeleteis a beautiful woman inside as well as outside.
Marion and Joan
Perhaps! Maybe she just hasn't lost all the baby weight yet.
ReplyDeleteThat's Amy for you. True heart. She will be a wonderful example to her children.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy for showing class!
ReplyDeleteWith love from Canada

Why did Michelle wear white to the wedding? Grandma Duggar and Deanna look so pretty. I like the bridsmaid dresses. I hope Amy had the kind of day she wanted, she looked beautiful. What a sweet gesture to give Anna a gift. The hug between Amy and Anna was touching, I'm sure Amy was glad Anna came to the wedding, they always seemed to have fun together on the show.
ReplyDeletePraying for the whole family still. Keep leaning and trusting God. God has you.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet gestures. To remember that even though it was "your day" that some are still hurting & grieving. It shows amazing maturity & compassion, to reach out to them, when you should be thinking of yourself & your groom. God Bless you marriage Amy.
