I've brought it up in two other threads, but Lauren Caldwell is engaged. At least she is slightly older than her sister Kendra. Kendra was barely 19 when she got married and Garrett was born two months before her 20th birthday. Lauren turned 20 in May.

Since Lauren Caldwell is engaged, I guess the Duggars boys are out of luck.

Lauren Caldwell is engaged! Her fiance isn't a Duggar or any other known fundie family!

At the same time, they wouldn't totally be cut off from fame and money. TLC would have to be idiots not to film an elopement and play up the drama. TLC is immoral, but not dumb. And JinJer could probably be compensated for their wedding footage. There would be a cover story on People about Jinger's rebellious love. And maybe it would wake people not paying attention up to the fact JB is a narcisstic controlling jerk. I was typing this out when you posted. I agree.

Most of the networks on television are owned by a bigger corporation/network. and most of the networks belong to same corporations/networks. NBC owns Bravo, MSNBC, USA, SYFY, etc. . Discovery owns TLC, HGTV, and DIY. DIY is going to rebranded the Gaines network, but it hasn't happened yet and it will still be owned by Discovery. So technically if Jana/the Duggars got a fix-it show on DIY, TLC probably wouldn't consider this disloyalty since they're owned by the same company. Joanna Gaines seems like to the type to watch the Duggars show back in the day. And maybe she doesn't follow them now, but they definitely have people to look into the Duggars for them.

I don't know; maybe Kendra wants to be pregnant. And why is it Jessa's responsibility? More importantly Joe has to agree to all this since he's the headship. Kendra and Joe should start thinking about preventing if they're tired of having baby after baby. But it's decision they need to make together and the responsibility/weight shouldn't be all on Kendra. Joe needs to commit to this too. It sounds manipulative for Kendra to just "get headaches". It's not 50s, even if fundies live that way.

That's one of the few times. I've liked one of their hashtags. Talking about coffee beverages is fairly common on Instagram. It makes sense to point out it's decaf since she's pregnant and will probably still hear from others about it. When you're trying to make a disclaimer, it's best to make it obvious and stick out like that so that most of the audience doesn't miss it.

Not to mention, Jill will be a grandmother. Jill doesn't want to be a grandmother, because it makes her sound old. She doesn't want to be old. She wants to be young and one of the girls. I get the same vibes from Kendra's mother.

Jessa's been on television regularly since she was 15. She's almost 28. She should have the money to buy her bigger house.

This post is clearly about climate change and I approve. (This is a joke.)

That's her sister Lauren in the shots in white dresses. Lauren isn't pregnant. Her mother and sister are.

Paul and Christina Caldwell announced on their family Instagram that they are expecting #9 in May. They currently have 8 children. The oldest is Kendra Caldwell Duggar currently pregnant with her 3rd child. Kendra will have her baby in February. Garrett, Addison, and baby #3 will have new aunt or uncle in May! I'm surprised they're announcing at 2 months, but I hope everything goes well. Now we know why sister mom Lauren is still single.

Poor Jessa! She has to mention everything on social media or be accused of being sister-in-law, aunt, etc. As mentioned before, the bride and groom seemed to want privacy based on the locking down of the registry and website. They may be downplaying, because they're young or the pandemic, but for some reason, this is a more private wedding.

My memory is that Jessica's mother-in-law was leading the disapproval in the room. And it seemed like that was the storyline the show wanted: Jessica from her conservative family shocks in-laws including her future mother-in-law and TLC star Jessa Duggar Seewald with outlandish dress. As for this weekend, Jessa probably hasn't gotten around to posting pictures. Also the Seewalds, including Michelle and groom Elijah Barger, seem to be somewhat of a lid on this wedding. If you go to the Knot, the wedding registry and website are password protected, which is unusual for anyone who registers through the Knot.

Lots of posts from the Bontragers. The main family blog had them eating donuts. The doughnuts are homemade and look delicious. Allison has a post about marriage. She doesn't have much to say. And Chelsy had a good summer. A lot of her family visited her. They grew tomatoes. She hung out some with her in-laws.

Ben's sister Michelle got married today to fiance Elijah Barger. Their photographer Katie Opris posted a picture. They are cute. I wish these two kids a lifetime of happiness and love.

A lot of pregnant women look like that in the last trimester.

I think Jana wears pants. She has decided she needs to appeal to wider range of guys and she's started to wear pants so seem less fundie. This is the second time it looks like pants and no skirts. Considering she's 30, she should dress as she wants. She also should be social distancing from Jessa, but it's par for the course with these people. Jessa might want to think about Morgan Wallen and the possible consequences of not even appearing to social distance.

I think it's more likely Jill downplays any delays Janessa currently has. Jill isn't smart enough to come up with the complex diagnoses they had for Janessa during the pregnancy. Also the doctor gave the worse case for Janessa's health and clearly the worse case did not happen. If Janessa had different parents, I would expect there would be quite a few thing they were watching for or little things they were working on with her.

Grace's boots look like they fit. Maryella's boot look like her feet are crammed in. Obviously their mothers chose their babies to wear the boots.

They're still there.

I think if they're the right kind of Christian and have the money to support the his daughter and the family, JB will let them get married.

You might remember the Wilsons, who are longtime friends of the Duggars. They have nine children and one of them is Jacob Wilson. Jacob is one of the many non-loves of Jana and he wrote a whole post about how they weren't together. Anyway Jacob Wilson found a new girl to date named Lundyn Smith. She is from a family that is also somewhat fundie. A few days ago Jacob and Lundyn announced to the world that she is pregnant via Instagram. She is due the end of December. It's a boy!

The Kellers are in their 60s and the Smuggars are 32. That's a big reason Josh looks better.

Apparently lots of fundie love Starbucks cake pops. Carlin is biting into one in a photo on Bates girls boutique. Carlin and the cake pop There are two photos. Be sure to see the second one.
