Amy Duggar Engaged No More! Happy To Wed Dillon King, Leave Duggar Family Name Behind?


Amy Duggar is engaged to forever with Dillon King after the couple tied the knot Sunday afternoon. The niece of "19 Kids and Counting" couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and her fiancé of two months exchanged their wedding vows in Arkansas.

The 28-year-old Duggar, who has frequently appeared on the cancelled reality show, said, "This is such a positive moment in our lives," while describing the ceremony on the Horton Farms grounds, according to E! News.

Hours later, the groom took to Instagram to express his thoughts before their wedding. He wrote, "ITS OUR BIG DAY !!!! #DillandDuggsforever #ringsfortheKings. I've been waiting a long time for this day to come-I've been thinking as to how to caption this post.... So I'm going to keep it short and simple.... ( I'll NEVER STOP LOVING YOU ) so excited and so ready to be married to this girl!!!"

The marriage between Amy and Dillon comes amid a difficult time for the large family as Josh Duggar is still in the middle of controversies involving molestations, pornography addiction and infidelity, as reported by People.

Despite the controversies, Josh's wife Anna still made it to the wedding. Anna and Josh's 5-year-old daughter, Mackynzie, was also there as she was tasked to be one of the flower girls at the ceremony, alongside her cousins Jennifer, Johanna, Josie and Jordyn.

Meanwhile, Amy Duggar dropped a bombshell when she told ET that it's a huge relief to finally call herself Amy King.

"It's a relief. It feels like the stress is gone. I don't have to be perfect anymore. I don't have to worry about wearing long skirts. And I got to marry my best friend!" she exclusively told the entertainment news bureau.

On the other hand, Amy's husband also spoke out about Josh Duggar's Ashley Madison hack controversy. He told ET: "You don't just surf the Internet and decide to randomly open an Ashley Madison account. Josh consciously made the decision to cheat. Anna should leave him. People talk about the Biblical aspect of all this — read Matthew. It talks about how adultery is the one reason to divorce. Josh did it, and I'm going to guess he did it multiple times."
