Amy Duggar marries Dillon King as family gets rare reprieve from cousin Josh Duggar's sex scandals, There were 400 guests celebrating Amy Duggar's wedding to fiancé Dillon King Sunday, but one member of her reality television clan was a glaring absence.
"This is such a positive moment in our lives," Amy Duggar told People Magazine.
One of the positives probably was that scandal-scarred cousin Josh Duggar was a no-show at the nuptials at Horton Farms in Bentonville, Ark., as he reportedly seeks treatment for an addiction to pornography at a faith-based rehab center in Illinois.
The "19 Kids and Counting" star is facing a harsh new reality after a pair of damning revelations. In May, he was forced to admit he molested five girls — four of them his own sisters — as a teenager. Three months later, the supposedly repentent 27-year-old faced a new scandal after being outed as a serial cheater when his name surfaced in the computer hacking of the adultery website Ashley Madison.TLC suspended the "19 Kids and Counting" star in the wake of the molestation scandal, which stemmed from In Touch's obtaining a 2006 police report detailing disturbing allegations of sexual abuse after his father Jim Bob turned him into Arkansas police.
In the wake of that disturbing admission he also resigned his position as a lobbyist with the Family Research Council (FRC), an organization dedicated to preserving family values in America.
On Sunday though, his relatives — including wife Anna — could focus on something happier, for at least one day."She's been through so much," Amy told People of Anna Duggar, whose 5-year-old daughter Mackynzie served as a flower girl.
Among the hundreds of "closest friends and family and their families" in attendance were Jim's parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
The patriarch and matriarch of the since-canceled show had earlier sat through a fiery church sermon directed at their son's sins, Entertainment Tonight reported.Pornography is a secret sin," Pastor Jeff Crawford told the congregation of Cross Church Sunday morning.
"I know there are some folks in here today — pornography is a deal in your life."
The bride, resplendent in a sweetheart neckline gown that was designed by Essence of Australia, according to People, seemed eager to distance herself from her the controversy hovering over her family.
"I can't wait to change my name," Amy Duggar told the gossip glossy earlier in the week. "It's going to be a great day when Dillon signs that marriage license and my last name changes."
