"One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life," the couple the magazine at the time. "We are so thankful that He led us to one another."
The couple also started a joint Instagram account, but have not shared new photos from the wedding just yet. In their latest post on Sept. 30, the two shared new photos of them spending time together.
"Even if I spend the whole day with you, I miss you the second you leave. #mygreatestadventureisyou," read the caption.
Now that John-David is married, the oldest Duggar sons who remain bachelors are 19-year-old twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah.
