It was what the groom's family could afford. I realize the Duggar family can afford more but there is nothing inherently wrong with serving pizza as a rehearsal dinner. Thank you! I had pizza for my rehearsal dinner too. We went to an actual pizza restaurant (Connie's Pizza for you Chicagolanders) so there was also bread and salad as well. JD and Austin appear to be especially popular with this crowd because they have been groomsmen at a lot of weddings. Interesting that Justin chose JD rather than Joseph, Josiah, Jer or Jed!, who are a little closer in age. I think maybe Jackson was a groomsman as well? 1 8 Link to comment
rue721 March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 I think a pizza rehearsal dinner is actually fun and lighthearted. This was honestly a really nice wedding, very well planned. Classic, but casual enough not to make the teenage bride and groom look any more ridiculous than they have to. 1 1 19 Link to comment

The atmosphere for most services is more relaxed and conversational. One church I was part of even had café style seating for half of the sanctuary. The only time it would be weird would be during an actual ceremony, like a wedding or baptism. I belong to a mainline traditional denomination that is also considered evangelical. We had to institute a policy of only water in the sanctuary to prevent messes being left behind or damage being done to the pew cushions. 11 Link to comment

BitterApple March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 (edited) I think when it comes to the Duggars, pizza is the safest option. It's easy, there's minimal cleanup and everybody likes it. If they did some sort of catering, you know Boob would go cheap as possible, the food would be crap and there wouldn't be enough to go around. Edited March 12, 2021 by BitterApple 17 Link to comment
GeeGolly March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 I'm wondering if the pizzas, only 3, were lunch for the work crew. Maybe they did a western cookout theme for the dinner. Even Claire changed into cowboy boots. Link to comment
emma675 March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 After some of the crappy food I've eaten at rehearsal dinners before, I would welcome pizza with open arms! I think rehearsal dinners that are more casual and lighthearted are more fun than formal ones. Most of the time, you get the formality at the wedding so it's nice have a casual dinner the night before. I still think it's ridiculous that two teenagers got married just to have sex, though. 24 Link to comment

I watched an interview with a guy who escaped from the Moonie cult and he said he was actually looking forward to being randomly paired and married so that he could have sex. He fortunately escaped before that happened and actually went to college. But he said by then he was so incredibly awkward around women and so brainwashed that he still felt like having sex with someone outside of their group would taint the blood of the chosen people or whatever. Sounds nuts, but really isn’t all that much different than the Gothard believers. 1 5 Link to comment
doodlebug March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 17 hours ago, Westiepeach said: Well, I was raised Catholic, and there was no way anyone was allowed to even think of bringing a beverage into church. Ticket straight to hell. Catholic Churches have a tabernacle where the blessed sacrament is present at all times. That;s the consecrated host, the Eucharist, communion. It would be considered disrespectful to Christ's presence in the Eucharist in the church to bring in food and drink or otherwise behave as if the space was not sacred. I don't think the Independent Baptists feel that way about their churches. However, if I was a contributing member of a congregation and some idiot brought food and drink into the church and managed to spill it or otherwise damage the floors or pews with their mess; I would not be happy. 15 Link to comment

thehorseofpower March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 I'm trying to remember what I had at my rehearsal dinner 13 years ago and I'm honestly coming up blank...I have pretty much zero memory of where we went or what was eaten. I know there were tables with cloths and windows...which really narrows it down. 😆 I remember exactly what I wore and how I did my hair but no impression remains of the food. It could have been pizza, for all I know. Personally, I found Claritin's choice of a taco dinner right before the big night of virginity loss to be the more questionable choice. 😐 Also....please, please please let Justin and Claire move to Texas and live in Hilaria's backyard. I need her crazy posts to continue, preferably on a daily basis. The sale of Justin's Arkansas property has my hopes high! 12 Link to comment

And hasn't she always had a one of larger builds of the Duggar women--sturdier legs and ankles, for example? I hope she takes care of herself, but I also hope she doesn't waste a single second comparing herself to her slender new sister-in-law. Joy also has a large bust. Any shirts that are big enough to accommodate it are going to make her look bigger and frumpy elsewhere. 17 Link to comment

Zella March 19, 2021 Share March 19, 2021 (edited) We have a fundie homeschooling who frequents my library who bypass any mention of magic. They're part of the kids' book club and have skipped frequently as a result. When I was at C of O, there were quite a few who were big Harry Potter fans from childhood, but they all came from what I considered much more moderate backgrounds. [Edited to add: Not saying there were IBLP people there. I doubt that. But there were a lot of very fundie types, and I certainly don't remember any of them coming in as Potterheads, though some of them did come to read the books after they were adults and had departed from their family's teachings.] I can't imagine anyone in the IBLP crowd allowing their children to read Harry Potter.

Previous announcements were like a full episode and often included the man asking the woman to court. TLC hasn't acknowledged their wedding. It was filmed by an videographer with IBLP connections. If TLC does air the wedding, I have a feeling they'll buy the IBLP guy's footage from the Duggars/Spiveys. 6 3 Link to comment
