Jinger then added: 'It’s incredible to see us at this place when we’ve prayed about this for so long and we just longed for the day where we were married, and now God’s given us our heart’s desire and our prayer … he’s just so graciously given [this] to us.'

Jinger and Vuolo tied the knot at the Cathedral of the Ozarks at John Brown University in Siloam Springs.

They enjoyed a reception at the Christian Community Fellowship.  

There were 1,000 guest in attendance and the nuptials were filmed for a TLC special called Counting On: Jinger’s Wedding that will air on November 15.

Among the guests was 28-year-old Josh Duggar, who made a rare appearance with his wife Anna at the ceremony.  

The family's show '19 Kids and Counting' was canceled after it was revealed Josh had molested five children, including four of his sisters.

Anna and Josh Duggar are rarely spotted together and their attending of the wedding is the first time they have been seen in public together in months. 

On Wednesday it was reported by InTouch Weekly that Josh's wife Anna was considering leaving him. 

But that does not seem to be the case as the couple looked happy at the wedding.

Joy-Anna, Jill and Jana were seen as well. 

But all attention was turned to the bride and groom as Vuolo’s father, Chuck, officiated.

'This was one of the most touching parts of the wedding is for Jeremy’s father to be able to officiate our wedding, standing with us and praying for us on this special day,' the couple told People.

'I was initially friends with Ben Seewald and Jessa, and it was through them that I got to meet Jinger,' he told People.

Jinger and Jeremy then went on a mission trip together and grew closer.
