Country music star Lainey Wilson and her new husband, former NFL quarterback Duck Hodges, are embracing married life after their recent wedding in Tennessee. The couple, who have been together since 2021, celebrated their union at The Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee, on May 10. The venue, discovered by chance during a drive through Tennessee backroads, provided a picturesque setting for their special day.
A Personal and Heartfelt Ceremony
The couple’s ceremony was held on a cobblestone ledge in front of a waterfall, reflecting their desire for a personal and intimate celebration. Wilson arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by her father, and joined Hodges at the altar. The natural beauty of the cave, complemented by the sound of trickling water and birds singing, created a serene atmosphere for the event.
Wilson, known for her Louisiana roots, incorporated elements of home into the celebration. The wedding featured a Cajun-inspired menu and a performance by the Rebirth Brass Band, which led guests in a New Orleans-style second line celebration. The bride wore a custom Oscar de la Renta gown adorned with Japanese cherry blossoms, symbolizing living in the moment, while Hodges embraced a Western aesthetic with a bespoke dark green suit and cowboy hat.
Celebrating with Family and Friends
The couple shared their vows privately before the ceremony, adding a personal touch to their wedding day. Wilson expressed her excitement about starting this new chapter with Hodges, noting the significance of sharing the moment with their friends and family. The newlyweds danced their first dance to Muscadine Bloodline’s “10-90 (The Sound of Roses)” and concluded the evening with a sparkler sendoff, departing in an old white Ford truck.
Their wedding was a reflection of their laid-back relationship and mutual appreciation for family and tradition. As they settle into married life, Wilson and Hodges continue to cherish the memories of their special day, which marked a new beginning in their journey together.
