The proposal was nice (sweet, there I said it). Jill was expecting it, because they had probably been discussing the possibility just like normal couples do. Very few men are going to propose unless they have an inkling the woman will be saying yes. I have to sound off like everyone else that Michelle couldn't just BE QUIET and let Derick and Jill make their announcement. I gagged when Derick and Jill commented that they 'had gotten permission' to hold hands now.... aren't they the ones making their courtship rules? But, of course, we know they aren't.
The wedding dress staged event was sad, neither Jill nor Jessa wanted to try on the dresses (who doesn't want to try on wedding dresses? Jessa was superstitious (kind of odd for a fundy ... wouldn't that be blasphemy of a sort?). I think it was an attempt to include the audience in seeing Jill in a wedding dress, and that the actual wedding dress purchase will not be televised.
Loved, loved seeing Derick and his Mom. Such natural closeness, she wore pants, and acted like a MOM who knew her son and wanted to make him less nervous. I saw no advice like that for Josh when he was going to ask Anna to marry him.
There is (IMO) something wrong with Josie, maybe on the autism scale. What was all that fake fly routine, and then eating same? She's old enough now to know better than that in a TH segment. Of course, Jana must not have been present.
Jim Bob is such a bad actor. He knew very well that Derick had a job offer, and was taking it. That would have already been one of the group texts/phone calls.
