The couple announced their engagement in July, one month after they went public with their courtship.

“The proposal and the ‘yes’ really solidified that we want to spend the rest of our lives together,” they told Us at the time. “It was a special moment to share together.”

“One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life,” they added. “We are so thankful that He led us to one another.”

The bride and groom knew of each other for several years before they started courting, but Burnett told Us in June that she “really got connected” to Duggar when the reality star visited her native Oklahoma for a church event.
