Lainey Wilson glad to have 'found a window' in busy work schedule to marry Devlin 'Duck Hodges

Couple Devlin

Lainey Wilson had to "find a window" to marry Devlin "Duck" Hodges.

The couple married at The Ruskin Cave, Dickson, Tennessee, on May 10 - two weeks after she performed at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California, on April 25 - and country singer Lainey is glad she found time in her busy work schedule to say "I do" to the former NFL player.

The Hang Tight Honey hitmaker told People: "[I'm] always just trying to keep my head screwed on straight.

"I was like, we gotta find a window. “I'm like, as long as I got my phone, my keys, my wallet, my man, I'm good."

Lainey, 33, arrived at her and Devlin's nuptials in a "white horse-drawn carriage", and she walked down the aisle in a stunning custom Oscar de la Renta gown and veil, which the star declared her "dream" outfit.

And the Yellowstone star said it was the "first time" she had worn a dress.

Lainey told America's Vogue magazine: “Feeling royal and confident in my dream dress and veil, made by the incredible Oscar de la Renta team.

“First time wearing a dress and I caught the perfect breeze to show it off! Shout out to my amazing stylist, Ali Mandelkorn, for bringing this vision to life with Oscar de la Renta.”

The Heart Like a Truck performer's dress featured miniature Japanese cherry blossoms around the neckline and throughout the design.

Lainey explained: “The cherry blossom represents living in the moment, and that's exactly what we did."

The Grammy winner and Devlin, 30, exchanged vows at the foot of a waterfall.

Lainey recalled: "You could hear the water trickling down and birds singing, and we had a nice spring breeze. I arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage and walked down the aisle with my Deddy to join Duck at the altar ...

"I have never seen Duck smile as big as he did then. It made me feel giddy about turning the page into this next chapter of marriage. We were both anxious to say ‘I do!'"

After they were announced as husband and wife, the newlyweds walked back down the aisle together to the sound of Raye's song Where Is My Husband?

Guests were then treated to a cocktail hour before the reception kicked off in the cave, with the Rebirth Brass Band providing the music and a Cajun meal served before the dancing started.

Lainey added: "Our family and friends know how to have a good time, and the dance floor was packed all night. To close out a perfect evening, Duck and I followed the band through a send-off line of sparklers and cheering loved ones, climbed into an old white Ford truck, and drove off".

She and Devlin began dating in 2021, and they got engaged in early 2025.
