Perhaps it's the lighting/shadows, but the littlest girl in the front looks like she's got a green dress on instead of a white one?

Also, WHY ARE THERE TWO SETS OF GREENS HAPPENING?! You can't have yellow-green and blue-green in the same event - it doesn't go. (This has been bugging me for days.) I'm not a yellow-green fan, but at least have everything match. goodness!

The Windsors got the green right, and used it sparingly. It seems like a hard color to match, and the challenge was beyond Jill's abilities.

She's too much of a narcissist for that....if she failed to find a lucrative deal it would doubtless be a toss-up between Satan and the everlasting prejudice against Christians that she has to endure...

Then, she's just being a bitch. However, while we are curious about these wedding photos, our lives go on either way. Jill gets stuck in her tiny life.

Is he creepy? Odd? Please, not another anal rapist?

Fundie dregs....just imagine....I suppose it would be too much to hope that they were single for so long because of some sense of standards and expectations?

Next question , how gay is he ?

[Temperance]

Sally Mally is the author of Before You Meet Prince Charming. She has two younger siblings a sister Grace and a brother Stephen.

There's a few older single Sarahs. The most famous is Sarah Maxwell, who is 38 and still single. Sarah Maxwell has 5 brothers, who are all married and most have kids. (Jesse just got married.) Sarah Maxwell's sisters are unmarried. All three sisters live at home.  Their father is control freak Steve. 

Sarah Mally Hancock and Sarah Maxwell get confused, which is why I'm posting this. 

[Zella]

I'm pretty sure Jill has never been embarrassed in her life. I think she is physically incapable of experiencing it or understanding it. I think she thinks she's being coy. LOL

I went looking for the male model. Oh my. I've mentioned on here that I went to C of O. We had a running joke about anything slightly risque being greeted with a sarcastic "That's not C of O appropriate!" (Bonus points if said in a whiny nasally voice.) That's literally what I blurted out to nobody when I saw that NSFW pic. 😆

Jill posted more photos 

Anna’s kids weren’t in the wedding as far as I can tell

Of course Jill was the matron of honor Nuri probably wasn’t allowed to ask anyone else 

[Sew Sumi]

Janessa was in green. Hannah and Tessie were Jr. bridesmaids, while the other littles were all flower girls. None of the Wallers' kids or Anna's kids took part.

Jill sounds a little snippy. 

Nathan and Nurie managed to get away. Good for them. I hope they enjoy some time together before the Rods decide on a vacation trip to Florida.

Nope it was the real JILL 

[irisheyes]

I liked that the bridesmaids got to pick their dresses. They looked really nice AND the colors matched, so they had to go to a professional. 
 

The little girls were always going to be in the frilliest dresses money could buy. The older girls probably know how to work Jill (a little), but the little ones are no match. 
 

And, yes, Jill, of course you were Nurie’s matron of honor. Besides her sisters, who else is she going to ask?  At least you wore a bridesmaid color and not white. 🙄

It’s ok. Jill prayed over them, and now they are the best, most wonderful dresses EVER. 

[3 is enough]

Poor Nathan.  Married all of 4 days and the mother-in-law from hell is probably calling at all hours of the day and making Nurie cry. His “compassion” must be wearing thin.
I really despise that narcissistic bitch Jill.  Such a vile excuse for a human being.

[Sew Sumi]

They're on their HONEYMOON, Jill. Leave them the fuck alone! 

I'm sure Jill would have pitched a fit had Ma Turtleneck bothered her during HER honeymoon!

[MunichNark]

Jill is getting roasted over on david waller’s instagram- he hasnt deleted or blocked at all. It gives me far too much pleasure😱

[galaxychaser]

Micah Plath is extremely attractive oh myyyy 

[ginger90]

 

10 pictures :

The one sister has the mint green on her sleeves. All the adults wore ballet flats, but the the youngest kids. And what a lovely picture of the bride and her mom/MOH - in a bathroom.

What were the words the Duggars were throwing around in regard to fashion? Classic and classy? This wedding was neither.

Happy for Nurie that there's no correlation between a well put together wedding and a happy marriage.

Oh my god, the posture on that crowd...

Well, I'd applaud anybody who showed up to one of the Royals' weddings credibly disguised as Diana's ghost. 

....I'm thinking the equivalent for a Rod wedding would be a sorrowing Jesus who just keeps looking at Jill, very skeptically, from a distance, all the time.

Speaking of the Plaths, I don't know that any of this has hit this forum, but one of the brothers, the 19 year old, Micah, I think, has been apparently putting together a portfolio as a male model of the very scantily clad variety. And he is stunning. Some photos have shown up on the Fundie Wonderland page on Facebook, but I haven't posted or linked since I'm not sure that the Plaths are closely enough tied to the Duggars for their own subject here, plus, frankly, the last photo I saw bordered on not safe for work. I'll leave it to someone else to play sleuth if it's appropriate here.

Wow. I just looked him up. You aren't kidding. If only one of the Duggarlings or Rodrigui had the looks to do that! I'd love to see JB's and M's  or J's and D's heads explode!

Well, we know that at least one of that couple spent her time waiting for prince charming (and writing a book about it being worth that wait, long before the male waiter showed up...).....But I'd really like to hear from one of the men about the paragon he was waiting for.......and how he finally found her and why that was worth the wait.........I'll have to wait till hell freezes over for that, though, I suppose. In this bin of casual misogyny. 

[Marshmallow Mollie]

Nurie looks SO HAPPY. Good for her! Considering she isn’t already posting on “insta” her every move, hopefully she doesn’t have Jill’s attention seeking behavior. 

[GeeGolly]

I can't hold it in any longer. The wedding dress. Mattel wouldn't even make that for a Barbie. The veil, although tasteful, even a little playful, does not go with the dress or the hairstyle. The necklace, that looks a wee bit like a rosary, is too long for the neckline. And then the hairstyle.

But back to that dress. I hope its a one of a kind.

I like Nurie's bracelet.

[graefin]

Actually, Nurie's dress and veil look nice? Her hair is a mess, though. Couldn't someone have styled it for her? Why is it a fundie requirement for brides to wear their hair in loose do-nothing waves down the front? And what's going on with her long bangs?

It's pretty striking how comparatively normal the non-Rodriguezes look in the photo. What's up with the one sister's weird lips(tick) and the other one's insanely overplucked eyebrows? Is Jill making them look freakish on purpose so she'll look better herself?

I thought the same thing .. why the different greens through the wedding party

Also I’m not a fan of the green of the bridesmaids dresses with the purple of the bouquets and I do like green and purple together

I like green and purple together if done tastefully. Otherwise it reminds me of a tablecloth with bunches of grapes.

I still think their use of the purple-green color scheme is more like the Lysergic acid diethylamide version. 😁

Just sayin'. (but if Jill Rodrigues is not the hallucinogenic version of something, I don't know what is...)

Nurie looks like a skeleton in that dress. The dress should fit, and this one looks big for her

And it looks she she might have added a panel overlay at the top. Whoever did that might have thought about taking the dress in a bit.

Not a chance 🤣. Duggar boys look 45 at 18. Rod boys look like starving scarecrows. Imagine if Micah Plath showed up he’d be like Justin Bieber of fundie stardom. Jill would try to snag him for one of her starving waifs.

Nuri does look legit happy in some photos. Her smile looks real. I truly hope the little waif found happiness and Nathan treats her well.

That was my first thought.  She could have had an elaborate updo or something.  I guess the long hair thing is like a crown in fundie circles.

[galaxychaser]

Yes I think having long, fried, messy hair is a crown of glory!

I didn't know the younger Duggars cried at their siblings' weddings, but given the sister mom thing I can see why. The people who did more of the actual child raising were leaving them. I do remember watching a really awkward clip of Derick and Jill saying goodbye en route to Danger America and one of the younger girls just sobbing uncontrollably. I think it was right around the time of the Josh scandal, so I'm sure there was a lot of stress in that house in general, but if I remember correctly, Jill was the only one consoling her. Everyone else just stood there like a goober while she was crying. 

The little kids crying when an older sibling gets married makes sense. My great aunt was 4 when her eldest sister got married (this was in 1931) and she fell asleep during the backyard reception, when she woke up her sister was gone and she cried because she did not get to say goodbye. Her Mom consoled her that her sister was just living up the street and she could see her in a few days. 
 

All of the little kids love Nurie and change is hard. Of course they are going to miss her and Nurie isn’t moving a few blocks away. JILL’s attention loving ass shouldve comforted her younger children and told them it was normal to miss Nurie, but they could still call and FaceTime her etc. Not capture their tears on camera and use it as an opportunity to snark on us heathens.

I keep thinking that Lawson Bates must be very upset that Micah Plath is actually modeling.  I'm sure he can't believe any guy could ever be more attractive than he (thinks) he is.

I know.  I just want to make them stand up straight.  And the dresses being too long on some of the girls made me worry that someone would trip and fall.

[madpsych78]

I honestly kind of detested the non-Rodrigues bridemaids' dresses the most. Because they did look so obviously altered because modesty. 

Whereas I think Priscilla's dress looked the best. 

[Normades]

I think Kaylee's dress is the prettiest. 

[Ohiopirate02]

I feel like I make the same comment every time I see one or more of these fundy men trying to wear a suit, but why are the suits always too big???  I know it is not because they refuse to have their measurements taken.   You can figure out that the inseam is too long by just trying the pants on--too much ankle showing, go up a size, too much fabric pooling on the tops of your feet, go down a size.  Are they that dumb they cannot figure out what 30X32 or 30X30 means?  They can get the waist measurement correct, but not the inseam.

And don't get me started on the rentals for the groomsmen.  Did they just guess their sizes at the shop?

[Ljohnson1987]

I hope that Nurie gets to see the Keller's who have escaped that way of life. There's hope, Nurie. Don't be like Anna and put your husband first. 

[mimionthebeach]

Someone in the Fundie Wonderland fb group found the source for the bridesmaid dresses. The modesty alterations are pretty horrible. The safety pin Jill's using to raise the neckline is a disaster. Reminds me of Michelle's modesty panel for her tin man dress, which, awful as it was, may actually have been better since the dress's bodice wasn't pulled and puckered. Jill should have just worn a separate shirt underneath. 😅

Why yes they did because of the fact that you have to go near the **** to measure the inseam and that is a no no. Because according to a fundie I know that is what turns a male gay.😂
