A follower cheered: "How gorgeous do you look!!" and a fourth said: "Stunning couple and BTW beautiful wedding dress!" According to Vogue, the big day took place on May 10, with Lainey's close friend and mentor Wes Williams marrying the pair at the altar.
She told the outlet: "I arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage and walked down the aisle with my Deddy to join Duck at the altar. I have never seen Duck smile as big as he did then. It made me feel giddy about turning the page into this next chapter of marriage. We were both anxious to say ‘I do!'"
For her big day, Lainey wore a custom Oscar de La Renta gown whilst the groom opted for a bespoke suit by D. Lacquaniti.
Speaking about the choice of venue and celebrations that took place afterwards, Lainey said: "Duck and I were driving backroads in Tennessee and saw a billboard for The Ruskin Cave, Duck said, 'You want to get married there?' I said, 'Done deal.' We dropped by, saw the venue and fell in love with the natural beauty of the cave and the simplicity of the property.

"My mama led the dinner prayer for all of our guests, and we settled in for a night of good food, good company, and good music. Our family and friends know how to have a good time, and the dance floor was packed all night."
Duck, who has embarked on a career in real estate since his retirement from sports, popped the question during a visit to the George Jones Estate in Franklin, Tennessee.
At the time, Lainey explained in a TikTok video that was shared by WTVF-TV: "So, I had talked myself into thinking he was going to do it that day. And then I called my sister, I said, ‘He's going to propose to me today.' And she was like, ‘I've got to go.'
"And then I talked myself out of it because I thought, ‘Man I sure would be upset if I talked myself into this and that don't happen.' And then as we [pulled] up, I realised that there were different plans. So, he had it all set up. He had the candles and the picture frames, and it could not have been more perfect."
