Marie Osmond's son Matthew married his now-wife Kaitlynn in Lindon, Utah earlier this month.
On Sunday, the 66-year-old television personality took to Instagram to share photos from the wedding, which she said was 'such a beautiful' celebration.
In her recent social media update, she announced her son's happy news and also said she and her husband Stephen 'Steve' Craig were enjoying a couple's getaway themselves after a 'very busy month.'
The former host of Donny & Marie, who shared her older brother Alan Osmond's final words earlier this year, included photos and videos from the newlyweds' ceremony in Utah on Tuesday, September 8.
'I had a fun trip with my sweetheart, and we decided to take some time just for us after a very busy month,' she wrote.
She also added in her caption: 'So much going on, but the highlight was that our son Matthew was just married to his sweetheart, Kaitlynn, on the 8th. It was such a beautiful wedding!'

In her Sunday Message blog, the actress said that 'having a wedding is one of my favorite things in the world.'
'Now that my son has found his perfect match, it's all the sweeter,' she added. 'But even the easiest wedding comes with a long list of details, and I'm not even the mother of the bride, who has most of the responsibilities.'
The mother of eight said one of her jobs was arranging places to stay for her 'very large family,' adding: 'Did I say I have a large, LARGE family — and nine grandchildren?'
In her blog post, the singer also gushed about her role as a grandmother.
'Being surrounded by my grandkids is my absolute happy place, which is one reason I’m home more now,' she wrote.
'I want to be a physical presence in their lives, so when they're with me, I'm determined to be absolutely present,' she continued.
'It's sweet when they introduce me to their friends; they say my grandma is a famous singer and start singing Meet Me in Montana, and to my grandson's school is singing I'm a Little Bit Country, Little Bit Rock 'n' Roll.'
She added: 'These precious babies bring clarity to my chaos. I still have a busy life to live, but now my priority is to stop and enjoy them and their precious lives.'

'Oh my gosh, grandchildren are like having your kids [but] on steroids,' she said. 'I mean, it's just, like, so cool. I can't even tell you.'
The Paper Roses hitmaker said as a mother, she holds much more responsibility, but as a grandmother, she can 'do anything I want'.
'And as a parent, you have to guide them,' she explained. 'You're not their friend; you're their parents.
'When you're the grandma, who cares? I can do anything I want,' she said.
