It’s going to be a gorgeous wedding… when it finally happens.

Lainey Wilson got her now-fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges, and she shared some gorgeous photos of the day on Instagram when it happened back in February of 2025:

Duck was a four-year starter at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama before being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Steelers in 2019. He was named the starter during the 2019 season when Mason Rudolph went down with an injury, going 3-3 as a starting quarterback before being waived by the Steelers and signed to the practice squad prior to the 2020 season.

They dated for about four years  before getting engaged, and during a party celebrating her radio hit “4X4XU,” Lainey previously shared details about the proposal that happened at the stunning George Jones estate the week after the Super Bowl. She talked some last year about how she really hadn’t planned that much because of her busy schedule, though she did say at the CMA Awards that the wedding was happening in 2026… but it sounds like there’s still a ways to go.

Lainey celebrated her 9th career number one song at country radio this week with a party for “Somewhere Over Laredo,” which was included on the deluxe edition of her 2024 fifth studio album, Whirlwind. Lainey co-wrote it with her frequent collaborators Trannie Anderson, and Dallas Wilson, and Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg also received writing credits as the song interpolates the melody of “Over the Rainbow”, which was of course originally written for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and performed by Judy Garland.

And during the question and answer portion of the event, Lainey was of course asked about wedding plans, and she joked that Duck asked her if the wedding was still on because they still haven’t made much progress:

“I’ve got a lot to do… I’ve got a lot to do, I will tell you that. Duck’s like, ‘Are we really getting married?’ I’m like, ‘We are.’ I said, ‘I do, I did, I done, we’re doing it.’ But it’s going good.

It’s going to happen, but we don’t have all the details yet. I’m starting to think about it more now, because honestly, with the tour and everything last year, and also with the holidays this year… we played on Thanksgiving day for the Macy’s parade, we were with Snoop Dogg on Christmas Dy, and then we had the Nashville Bash here for New Year’s Eve.”

She was on the road for  most of the year, and obviously was very busy during the holidays, so she’s been enjoying some downtime now in January and says she’s been working on her Pinterest board:

“Now I kind of feel like, this is like my holiday, down time. And so, I’ve spent a little time on Pinterest. I’m making me a little board.”

Personally, I can’t wait to see what she wears, and I’m sure she’ll have a great time helping her plan in between her busy schedule:
