"A lasting marriage does not depend [on what age] you get married. A lasting marriage depends on how forgiving you are and how much you love God Almighty. Those are the things that hold people together." –John Luke Robertson

The wedding, which was officiated by John-Luke's father, Willie Robertson, was attended by over 800 friends. The young couple celebrated the joyous event with family and friends while a local band played both Christian and secular songs, including "Sweet Caroline" and "Amazing Grace," ABC News reports.

For her big day, McEacharn chose a gorgeous, capped-sleeve gown with a lace top, beaded belt, and flowing skirt. She also wore a wreath of flowers on her head, which matched her pink, purple and red bouquet of flowers.

"Last night these two tied the knot, and we CELEBRATED!! So. Much. Love. Between them. Surrounding them. Showered on them.

@young_and_beardless and @marykaterob began a beautiful adventure full of fun, laughter, good times, and some bad. Assuredly God is with them every step of the way and there's a host of family and friends who always have their back! We love you!" Korie captioned a sweet photo of the couple.

Some people say we are too young. I have heard all the stories and all the advice," Roberson wrote on his "Young and Beardless" blog at the time.

"I have come to the conclusion that a lasting marriage does not depend on when you get married. A lasting marriage depends on how forgiving you are and how much you love God Almighty. Those are the things that hold people together."
