It seems like just yesterday that we watched them say “I do,” but believe it or not, Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo have been married for one full year.
Sure, with a family the size of the Duggars, it sometimes feels that not a day goes by without a couple celebrating an anniversary, but Jinger and Jeremy are a special case.
For one thing, they’re the first of Jinger’s generation to be married for an entire year without announcing a pregnancy.
And that’s not the only way in which Jinger and Jeremy have embraced their reputation as rebels.
Jeremy clashes with Jim Bob Duggar on a regular basis, and the two men have reportedly locked horns on issues as wide-ranging as religious doctrine and Jeremy’s decision to relocate to Laredo, Texas.
(Jinger is the first of her sisters to make a home for herself outside of her native Arkansas.)
For less conservative fans of the Duggar clan, Jinger and Jeremy represent a sliver of hope for a more moderate future.
Many who appreciate some of the Duggars’ values but struggle with the family’s more far-right views see Jinger and Jeremy as evidence that the Counting On clan might eventually be open to adopting an ideology that’s more in step with modern times.
It remains to be seen if that will happen, so for now, fans of the couple will just have to content themselves with the knowledge that the Vuolos are more in love today than on the morning they exchanged vows.
Jinger marked the occasion of their first anniversary by posting the above photo of herself with Jeremy.
“It’s been 1 year since the day we said “I do”…it’s been the best year of my life!” an ecstatic Jinger captioned the image.
“Jeremy, you have shown me such love that is too amazing for words. Whether we are talking, going on an adventure together, or simply doing everyday life together—I cherish every moment with you!
In true Duggar fashion, she concluded by praising Jeremy’s religious devotion:
“I love how you lead me in the Word and prayer. Your selflessness and sensitivity and care is remarkable. I love absolutely everything about you and couldn’t be more grateful to God for giving me the most incredible husband in the world! I love you, babe!”
Not to be outdone, Jeremy posted a loving tribute to Jinger on his Instagram page:
“To say she’s the woman of my dreams would not quite capture it seeing as, even in my dreams, I never could have imagined a woman so staggeringly beautiful, genuinely lovable, and sincerely Christlike as my dear Jinger,” Jeremy wrote.
“This year has been the best of my life. I love you, @jingervuolo, and always will.”
Needless to say, both parties brought their loving tribute A-game.
Guys, you may want to make sure your significant other doesn’t see these posts if you have an anniversary coming up.
Jinge and Jer have officially raised the bar.
