've known about Gothard for a while before the Duggars came out. I knew something was up with them from the beginning. Their hid their true self really well during the first few times they were on air.
As for volunteers, I see nothing wrong with it. A couple should create a wedding that fits their needs and what they want. But the Duggars take advantage of a lot of things and expect people to bend over backwards for them. It's tacky to register for gifts and post on social media and in the public. It's tacky to have a 1000 plus wedding, get volunteers who may be fans attend and feed them pickles and punch then expect a handout. My problem isn't with the volunteers it's the way they present themselves and come off.
