PEOPLE reports that the couple's wedding took place on Sunday, May 10, at The Ruskin in Dickson, Tennessee. They announced their engagement in February 2025. 

What Did Lainey Wilson Wear?

The "Somewhere Over Laredo" singer wore a custom Oscar de La Renta gown adorned with tiny Japanese cherry blossoms placed throughout the dress and around the neckline. 

Complementing Wilson's attire, Hodges wore a suit by D. Lacquaniti, including a custom bolo tie, cufflinks, and a hat pin crafted by Mud Lowery. His Golden West Boots and cowboy hat, made by Charlie 1 Horse, were also custom-made. 

Where Did They Get Married?

The website for The Ruskin describes the venue as a "160-acre, completely secluded and gated property that is full of uniquely beautiful features, surrounding the lush landscape along the waters of Yellow Creek."

"Duck and I were driving backroads in Tennessee and saw a billboard for The Ruskin Cave," Wilson said. "Duck said, 'You wanna get married there?' I said, 'Done deal.' We dropped by, saw the venue and fell in love with the natural beauty of the cave and the simplicity of the property."

The couple arrived at the ceremony in a white horse-drawn carriage. It took place alongside a cobblestone ledge at the foot of a waterfall. Wilson and Hodges were then married by her close friend, Wes Williams. 

"My absolute dream ceremony," said Wilson. "The waterfall is what convinced us to do the ceremony in this spot."

After the ceremony, the reception then took place in Ruskin Cave. The site was part of a utopian colony in the southern United States at the end of the 19th century. It's also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

"My mama led the dinner prayer for all of our guests, and we settled in for a night of good food, good company, and good music," Wilson said. "Our family and friends know how to have a good time, and the dance floor was packed all night."

Hodges and Wilson were then cheered on by family and friends as they walked through a line of sparklers. The couple drove off in an old white Ford truck, marking the start of their new journey as husband and wife.
