On May 8, she uploaded a selfie with her spouse on her Instagram Story that showed her and Dillard, 32; all decked out for the occasion. Duggar wore a red lace dress above knee length, and Dillard matched his tie with the color of her outfit.

The father of two earned his degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law.

JOSH’S ARREST

The celebration comes after rough few weeks for the Duggar family. Duggar's brother was arrested for being in possession of inappropriate images of minors charges on April 29.

After his apprehension, his sister and brother-in-law took to social media and released a joint statement talking about the importance of community.

Dillard and Jill said they need others for support, prayer…people to do life with, and much more than that. She concluded the post by asking her followers who they are grateful for.

FAMILY DRAMA

Since leaving the family's reality show in 2017, the pair have distanced themselves from her family. The couple left because the family took their autonomy away from them.

The move negatively affected her relationship with her parents over the years. Last year, she told People that she and Dillard did not have much control over their lives and prioritized their children Samuel and Israel.

Duggar, along with her siblings, broke many family rules to live life to their fullest. In 2014, she and her sister Jessa shared that the family abstains from alcohol. However, she and her spouse were pictured with an alcoholic beverage on the table during a date night.
