Jed Duggar married Katey Nakatsu on 3 April in a beautiful Arkansas ceremony.
But the Counting On star has surprised fans by revealing they had "quietly developed" their romance over the past year.
A courtship was never announced by the family, and fans first discovered the wedding date when Without A Crystal Ball was sent a wedding invitation.
However, Jed has now broken his silence, and shared details of their relationship with fans.
