Well, why not?  The pretty venue was paid for by someone else.  It was a nice day, Sam looked presentable, and Bri had a spare Cinderella dress shoved into the trunk of her car.  Two birds, one stone.

I want to hope that this photo shoot did not occur during the reception.......

Someone on reddit called her "Scarlet O'Fundie." 🤣

I think those photos were taken at Heidi and Tim's wedding venue. Jill could make some coin giving seminars on Grifting Through Life, Professional Level. 

She would probably be offended if she knew about Katie Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy Butler Butler's antics. 

Something about Bri creeps me out. I can't quite put my finger on it, but she is deeply disturbing. Honestly, I get a beats-disobedient-children vibe from her.

We are talking Jill.

Scarlett was no demure woman! 

Yea, I get ick vibes from her.

All I can add is WTAF? Scarlett O'Fundie is perfect. Her real personality is closer to Scarlett's.

Maybe her REAL one but not the one she is showing Jill.

But odds are that REAL side will come out to Jill with a vengeance at some point and poor Samuel will be stuck in the middle between the two crazy women.

The real unfortunate thing is that Samuel simply doesn't know any better.  He has no idea that they're both 100 shades of batshit crazy.  ALL HE KNOWS is batshit crazy so to him, that's normal.  

Goddamn these kids are screwed.  Fuck you, Jill.

Heidi has a strong support system around her. Her family is what is keeping her from being absorb by the Jill collective.

Maybe Timothy just felt need to be spared his wife and his mother in law clinging to each other and sobbing every time they had to part. 😂

 

One odd thing for me is I just can't imagine either Tim or Heidi being disrespectful to Jill (and Dave).

My guess would be they told the parents they had prayed about it moving east and felt this was where their god was calling them for this season of life.

Jill has said time and again using social media was a choice up to the "children" when they became adults. Timothy and Heidi chose something not to Jill's liking.

Pastor Nathan Keller certainly drew a hard line on his MIL posting whatever story and video she wanted after Naomi's birth. Wasn't that also disrespectful?

Jill is losing control and she doesn't like it.

Yes, Jill literally had unmitigated the gall to use the wedding venue that the Coveretts paid for for a  formal photoshoot  for her new favorite son and the psycho. Then went on to diss and insult the Coveretts and their relationships online for weeks afterwards. 🤬🤬🤬 It appears that they did so even AS the reception was ongoing. Sam simply switched to a blue tie but was still fucking wearing his boutonnière! Did Brigot actually pack that huge, poufy cosplay monstrosity in her luggage??

And the fool called her “the most beautiful, the most perfect.” WHAT?

Well, we knew the Rods would tread all over the reception. It just took a couple of weeks to find out how. 🙄

Brianna is a sycophant and Jill is a narcissist.     If they went that way I would say Bri should marry Jill.    It would be a match made in Hades.

I’ve been to weddings and family reunions where individual families take pictures with their immediate family members who are present. I have never been to either where someone pulls the photo shoot stunt Jill did.

Why this way, she didn't have to pay for a nice location! Plus, Tim and Heidi's wedding was about them not about her, so why should she care?

She has never paid for a nice location for courtship photos. I recall her posting a video of Kaylee and Jonathan's courtship announcement and it was some place on the side of a highway and her fb was full of comments that nothing could be heard over the traffic noise.

Who do you think dreamed this photo op up though. Jill or Brianne? They did the courtship announcement, what a month ago at the akron zoo or wherever that restaurant was. Maybe Brianne dreamed of something different, so we get her in the cinderella dress.

I expect an engagement announcement at the Rod/Noyes thanksgiving fest at the barndo or christmas at the latest. Maybe Jill will push them to wait until a photo op on a florida beach can happen on the early 2025 winter grift tour.

As @Heathen and others mentioned, there's something off with Bri.  The thing that stood out to me in the photos was the almost vacant looks.  She is a very pretty girl, but, the smile doesn't meet the eyes.  She kinda scares me, to be honest.  I have no reason to believe she is a violent person, but she has a "mean girl" personality.  Poor Sam has no idea of what his near future holds.  I don't think Jill does either, but I'm not worried about her.  

As for the pictures, those are a choice.  Her first dress is lovely, and if those were the only photos taken, I wouldn't even call them inappropriate.  Mr. Six & I had engagement photos taken as it was custom for them to be published in our local newspapers.  They were taken at Sears Portrait Studios, and we had them done in the summer of 1998.  He's in jeans and a light blue collared shirt, and I'm in jeans and a pink sweater (and big hair for emphasis 'cause it was the '90s).  Oh, and because I would be what Jill considers a slut, he has his hand on my shoulder.  I was such a tease back then 🤫.  

[Westiepeach]

I agree with you, @sixlets . Something about her scares me as well. If this “courtship” continues, and since they had their “official courtship pictures” taken it will continue… things will not end well. I don’t know what, but something will go awry. And it won’t be pretty. JMHO. 

[Salacious Kitty]

I want to know where Bri is getting the money for her costumes. She seems to have one for every occasion. 

I've heArd she's living with her mom, but is she working? Mom can't be buying her adult daughter these ridiculous clothes. 

[CalicoKitty]

I hope she wore the first dress to the wedding and not the Cinderella one.  Who would think this was appropriate in the 2020's, and who would have the actual nerve to appear in public like that (except for a halloween party) at someone else's celebration?  This is so odd.  Poor Sam.
