Recently, the couple shared an intimate prayer moment from their ceremony that did not make it to television. The wedding was a heartfelt occasion attended by 140 guests at Airlie, a picturesque venue in Warrenton. During the outdoor ceremony, all attendees joined together to pray around the couple, who stood in front of a wooden cross.
Dupree, aged 24, took to Instagram to convey the significance of this prayer moment. “Our entire wedding was shared with the world, but this moment didn’t make it to TV,” she wrote beside a clip of the group prayer. She emphasised the importance of having God at the centre of their marriage, stating, “Of all the beautiful, colourful, crazy moments from our wedding day, this was one of the most important to us.”
In a parallel post, Dooley reflected on the experience, expressing that it was the most significant moment of their wedding day. He described standing at the altar as a powerful experience, surrounded by loved ones who had supported them throughout their journey. “This moment didn’t make it on the TV show, but for us, it was the most important moment of our entire wedding,” he said.
Both Dupree and Dooley focused on their intention to prioritize their faith as they embarked on their life together. Dooley conveyed that during this sacred moment, the external distractions faded away— “the cameras, the celebration, the people watching—none of it mattered.” What truly counted was their commitment to one another and their shared faith.
In the backdrop of their posts, the couple chose to play “The Blessing” by Kari Jobe Carnes and Cody Carnes, further underscoring the spiritual essence of their ceremony.
In a prior exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Dupree characterised their wedding day as a “fairy tale”, while Dooley described the experience as “surreal”. Dupree highlighted the aim of creating a colourful and vibrant celebration, sharing that they wanted to include as many loved ones as possible to witness their commitment.
Shortly after exchanging vows, Dupree expressed her joy at being married, saying, “It feels amazing.” She noted their relationship had already felt complete, having started dating in November 2022 after meeting on a dating app. Furthermore, Dupree remarked that the transition into marriage hadn’t drastically changed their relationship dynamic, as they had already built a strong bond prior to the wedding.
As they continue to navigate their new chapter together, Dupree and Dooley are committed to keeping their faith at the forefront of their marriage, ensuring their lives together are rooted in love and spirituality. Their fans remain eager to partake in their journey, eagerly awaiting more glimpses into their shared future.
