WEST MONROE, La., Oct. 31 (UPI) — Reed Robertson tied the knot with high school sweetheart Brighton Thompson on Saturday.

The 21-year-old “Duck Dynasty” star wed his longtime love at an outdoor ceremony with parents Jase and Missy Robertson and other family present.

“I have no words, just an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Thank you, God, for your blessings. #ReedLovesBrighton,” Missy captioned a photo of the newlyweds on Instagram.

Reed and Brighton, who wore a navy suit and a white cap sleeve gown, respectively, said their vows under a tree covered in flowers. Reed’s cousin-in-law Mary Kate Robertson, who married John Luke Robertson in 2015, was among those to offer their congratulations online.
