Grammy-winning country superstar Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges officially tied the knot on May 10 in a highly private Tennessee ceremony. The couple kept the event entirely under wraps until revealing the news to fans on May 14 through a joint social media post with Vogue.
They completely avoided the traditional luxury estate route. The two reportedly found their venue completely by accident while driving past a local roadside billboard that advertised The Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee. The outdoor ceremony took place right in front of a natural waterfall that flowed behind the altar, surrounded by vintage glass windows and rustic floral setups.
Wilson arrived at the ceremony in a white horse-drawn carriage and walked down the aisle with her father. She swapped out her signature stage bell-bottoms for an elegant white floral gown paired with custom-made Golden West Boots, and later added a white cowboy hat for the reception. Hodges fully embraced the Western theme for his own outfit.
The quiet, intimate setting was a deliberate choice. It was a far cry from the chaotic energy of evacuating fans at major country festivals earlier this spring. Wilson and Hodges started dating quietly back in 2021 after meeting through mutual friends in Nashville. They eventually went public at the 2023 ACM Awards and announced their engagement in February 2025 at George Jones’s former estate.
Wilson actually used the Pinterest 2026 Trend Report to curate an immersive, hyper-personalized environment for the day. That move tracks heavily with recent wedding industry data showing that modern couples are aggressively abandoning traditional rules to build events that authentically reflect their actual daily lives and relationships.
