Sadie Robertson, our favorite role model for girls and women alike, is officially a married gal this week!
The Duck Dynasty star tied the knot with her fiancé, Christian Huff, on Monday in a romantic ceremony on her family’s Louisiana farm.
According to People Magazine, the couple transformed a tennis court with tall hedges, lots of roses, and hundreds of string lights to give the space a more intimate and romantic glow. Guests sat on gold chairs with white cushions while the couple stood on a white stage to exchange their vows.
“We’re having it on a tennis court, which is kind of unique and fun,” Robertson told the magazine ahead of the wedding. “Christian and I both love to play tennis and every time we’re home, we play tennis on this court. So we’re like, ‘Well, what if we transformed the court?’ So we’re taking off the net, taking off everything. We’re laying down AstroTurf and lights everywhere all over the fence and white roses. So it’ll actually feel like this nice garden.”

Pastor Louie Giglio married the couple in an evening ceremony in front of more than 600 guests, including Sadie’s season 19 Dancing With The Stars castmate Alfonso Ribeiro and Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure.
Following the ceremony, Sadie changed into a second dress — this one more “fairytale” – like from her long-time favorite, Sherri Hill, and busted out her tennis shoes to dance the night away.
The outdoor reception was held under a large tent, complete with what Sadie calls “a big Louisiana feast, if you will,” including a milkshake station, a coffee station, and several food stations for guests to fuel up and celebrate with the newlyweds under the stars.
“Christian and I both love night; we love the stars and the moon, so I think all of it together is going to be so magical,” Robertson said.
Their wedding comes just five months after Huff, 21, popped the question at their large joint birthday party.
“Birthdays are my favorite thing ever. Not just my birthday — everybody’s birthday. For months, literally Christian and I have been planning our birthday party together. It’s just my favorite thing that Christian and I share a birthday week even, so ever since I found this out I was like, ‘Oh, we are going to have the most epic birthday of all time,’ ” she told PEOPLE in June.
Little did she know, her plans for an epic birthday bash were nothing in comparison to the surprise Christian had in store for her.
Now, five months after their engagement, Robertson and Huff celebrated their love with the ultimate party: their wedding!
“When somebody makes you better and they’re your best friend in the world, you don’t want to spend a day without them. So we’re excited to not have to spend the day without each other,” Sadie said of Christian back in June. “I love his adventurous spirit in life, how much my family loves him, so we’re excited to be able to officially call him family.”
As the newlyweds set off for their honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas, Sadie says she’s looking forward to spending forever with Christian.
“We’re excited to be married and live together, do life fully together and just become one. We’re pumped! We cannot wait,” Sadie said. “There’s a lot of things in life that I feel like might be scary to jump into, but this, there’s never been more peace. I’m just really excited.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!
