Jill Duggar Fourth of July Photos Show Newlywed Kissing Husband and Close-Up of Wedding Bands (PHOTOS)
Jill Duggar and new husband Derick Dillard shared a photo of themselves celebrating the Fourth of July with watermelon and a kiss. The couple also shared a photo of their wedding bands, giving fans a real treat ahead of their TLC special.
"Happy Independence Day! So grateful for our Godly founding fathers! #4thofjuly #jilldillard #derickdillard #independenceday #19kidsandcounting," Duggar captioned the photo of the kiss. It's the first time since the wedding that Duggar has shared a photo of the couple kissing, which they are now permitted to do after exchanging vows.
The two decided to follow traditional Duggar courting rules and refrain from any physical intimacy, including full-body hugs, until their wedding day on June 21. Since then, though, they have been posting photos of themselves together on their honeymoon and returning home to set up their household as well as simply enjoying one another's company. The couple spent the holiday with friends and family but managed to sneak in some private time during the celebration.
In another photo, Duggar and Dillard's hands are crossed so that viewers can see both of their wedding bands, which are simple and special for the two.
"Chacos for the 4th! #weddingrings #chacos #jilldillard #derickdillard #independenceday," she captioned the photo.
Duggar has hinted that their wedding special is not too far off for those interested in watching the wedding, which took place in their hometown of Arkansas in front of nearly 1,000 friends and family. Duggar and Dillard then celebrated with a reception of nearly 3,000 guests. It was a special day, as Jill is the first Duggar daughter to get married. Elder brother Josh married his wife Anna in 2008 and the couple now has three children.
It's unknown where Duggar and Dillard will settle down, given both of their desire to serve as missionaries. They could go back to Nepal, where they first met, or go anywhere else they feel needed and called.
"19 Kids & Counting!" airs on TLC.
