A Country Love Story Comes Full Circle
Lainey Wilson, the reigning queen of country soul, has officially said “I do” to her longtime love Devlin “Duck” Hodges in a heartfelt ceremony held in her hometown in Louisiana. Set against the rustic charm of the bayou, the wedding radiated with Southern warmth, love, and a star-studded guest list straight out of a country music dream.
Star-Studded Guest List Lights Up Louisiana
The intimate yet glamorous affair welcomed some of country music’s biggest icons who came to celebrate the bride and groom. Among the attendees were:
-
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, who shared laughs by the whiskey bar,
-
The legendary Reba McEntire, glowing in emerald green,
-
George Strait, whose quiet blessing moved Lainey’s parents to tears,
-
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, dancing barefoot under string lights,
-
And a beaming Jelly Roll, who reportedly told the groom, “You caught a firecracker, man.”
The Surprise That Brought the House Down
As the night wore on and laughter mixed with cicadas in the Louisiana air, the newlyweds stunned their guests with an unforgettable moment.
Hand in hand, Lainey and Devlin stepped onto the stage, where a simple acoustic setup awaited. With a soft smile, Lainey whispered into the mic:
“I wrote this song years ago… for the man I hadn’t met yet. And tonight, I get to sing it with him.”
What followed was a moving, harmony-laced duet of “4x4xU”, a song she penned long before their love story began. The lyrics spoke of muddy boots, starlit rides, and the kind of devotion only found in country ballads — and now, in their marriage.
Guests were seen wiping away tears. Even Blake Shelton, known for his dry wit, reportedly choked up and said, “That right there… that’s real love.”
From Nashville Stages to Forever After
Lainey, in a vintage lace gown with boots to match, and Devlin, dapper in a tan suit and Stetson, danced into the night surrounded by lifelong friends, family, and fans-turned-family.
What started with a song became a celebration of faith, music, and forever love, as the two sealed their vows not just with rings — but with melody.
