Posing alongside the delighted couple, Duggar looked full of smiles in the photo as she flaunted a classy, cream-colored gown.

However, it was her baby bump, clearly visible in the photograph, that was most adorable of all.

FANS WERE NOT PLEASED WITH DUGGAR'S BABY BUMP

In fact, several fans of the star were displeased with Duggar for this particular reason. They claimed that Duggar was trying to “outshine” her best friend on her wedding day.
