How do they decide who gets cake and who doesn't? There were 1000 people there right?  Does that cake even feed 100?

They had cupcakes, too. Pretty common to have a really pretty decorative cake and then extra sheet cake or cupcakes so everyone gets a slice.

I hate frosting so from a tastiness perspective, I like naked cakes. I just wish there was a way to pretty them up more. Jinger's cake doesn't look horrible, but it's kind of...I don't know, sloppy maybe? I can't put my finger on what exactly I don't like about it. Maybe it's the roses with the fruit.

Not a huge fan of the style of the dresses but they're ok, certainly the best of the Duggar bridesmaids' dresses. I wish they were all bright tones, though. The lavender, light blue, beiges, brown, and pink stand out in a really bad way. Colors like sapphire blue, turquoise, and emerald green would have been a much better match with the reds and purples.

I really like the wedding dress.  The bridesmaids dresses were nice.  I think the flowers and bouquets were beautiful.  I still hate the cake.  More than the cake I think it's more horrible that the Duggar boys/men in the front row of the church are wearing suspenders instead of suit jackets.  Were they trying to mix formal and non formal into one occasion?   Pick, one, which one is it?  The cake and suspenders - informal.  The rest - formal.  Maybe they were going for meek?  Jinger's new found meekness has to make an appearance somewhere?  Cheese, crackers, meatballs and what looks like pound cakes layered with some fruit thrown on.  The roses on the cake were nice, that's it.  Formally meek is what I think I'll call the wedding.

Naked cakes are quite trendy.  (which is actually fine with me since most frosting is just way too sweet for my constitution....but that's just me)              https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=604&q=naked+cake&oq=naked+cake&gs_l=img.3...1818.3137.0.3365.10.7.0.3.3.0.173.751.2j4.6.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..1.7.757...0.B_H6hXj6dWw

And the Duggars are nothing if not aspirants to the trendy. Which I find kind of hilarious since at the same time they're always trying to drag the world back to the 1950s, the 1850s, the 1500s.

I think that's entirely a matter of personal taste in the visual, though, which varies incredibly widely. I can't stop looking at that palette. To me, it's just absolutely stunning, beautiful group of colors, perfectly balanced among the colors, and between dusty and bright colors. ....

I don't think anybody's wedding colors will please everyone. There are certainly weddings where the colors look off or tacky to just about everybody. But when it comes to the nice ones, we're all going to be drawn to different ones and find different ones flawed. I, personally, wouldn't change a single thing in Jinger's.

The cake doesn't do it for me, but then again, it's supposed to look like a giant strawberry shortcake, which I despise.  I like the more classical look the dresses myself, though would have preferred to keep them within one shade, i.e. all a shade of red or lavender.  But that's my personal preference.  

Anyone notice how awkward and uncomfortable the Howler man-children look in that picture?  Take your hands out of your pockets, you're in a house of God.  I'm continually amazed at how these people always seem to look like something out of a Dolly Parton song about poor people at Christmas getting O. Henry'ed even though they're probably making more money than they can spend.  I don't know if it's the choice of colors or textiles or the fact that they don't care for their clothes properly.  It's like they've never heard of steamers, irons, Woolite and dry cleaners.  And Lord knows they have terrible taste in shoes and take even worse care of them.

That sign kind of confuses me. of course you wouldnt want your wife to you evil LOL. Is that sign worthy? You couldn't pick a better bibly thing to say?

The first part was sweet ( jeremy will love jinger as blah blah) 

Anyway, I like the bridesmaid dresses, love the colors all together. Finally seeing SOMEONE have an ounce of taste and class! I wonder who the new wedding planner is, cause they really did a good job with the colors. 

Also curious to the cake situation. That is a tiny ass cake for all those people. Maybe they had sheet cakes in the back ? ( No hate this is common at some weddings) to feed the rest? IDK.

Has Jill suddenly lost weight?

I was wondering the same thing!!  It looks like she crash dieted, because she was a lot larger on the show a few weeks ago, granted I understand there has been a lapse in time from when the shows were taped to the wedding last week.  She looks small next to Anna, who looks larger than last year.  I do think all of the girls look very nice though.

I like the bridesmaid dresses from the side.  Looking straight on I don't think they're flattering - they make the girls look wide.  I think cause it kinda poofs out to make their hips look wider.  

Love Jinger's dress and shoes.

I hate naked cakes, they look so odd. I just find it funny that it's called a naked cake and the Duggars think naked knees are defrauding.

Re the house of God, hands in pockets,  I do not think they are taught to respect God, fear Him maybe ,but not respect Him. There is a diffrence.

When do they actually go to Church other than weddings?  The house of JimBob is their regular 'church', so they probably don't really understand the etiquette of attending Church so suspenders and hands in pockets is just normal for them.

Very true. I prefer colors to have some sort of cohesive theme to them...so, say all jewel tones, or something, especially with multiple colors. If it were just two colors, then to my eye a big contrast looks great, but three or more and it all looks discordant to me without an obvious unifying theme.

They must have. Because imagine if they didn't have enough cake for everybody. And because the first ones in probably grabbed a lot of the meatballs and cheese, some people who missed out on cake wouldn't have gotten anything to eat but pickled okra. "I Went To The Duggar Wedding And All I Got Was This Lousy Pickled Okra" 

On the other hand, that could have been a ploy to clear the room so they could make a faster getaway to the real afterparty.

I was reading the comments on the TLC page and someone said "I wonder if they will show the divorce when the show is cancelled and Jeremy goes back to his old life of being with men?"

I loled. I also want to know why that person thinks that way? Especially cause there were so many moments where you could tell Jeremy just wanted to be normally affectionate with her- wanting to lean in for a kiss ect . They do have natural chemistry

 I never really thought that about him and I hope for Jingers sake he isn't. That coupled with his anti masturbation stance and desire for a meek wife would just be a complete disaster

I didn't notice until the clearer pics posted up thread but apparently the groomsmen went with the mismatched theme as well, but not in a good way. It's more of a wear any old pants and scuffed up shoes you have way. Big fail on the guy's part IMHO.

From that People article:

'“I told the girls I need the bridesmaids to enter behind me because I thought I would collapse when I saw him,” Jinger, 22, told PEOPLE of her ceremony at Cathedral of the Ozarks at John Brown University in Siloam Springs.

She didn't really do that. Have the bridesmaids enter after her. Did she?

Wonder if they wrote the sentiment on the "do Jeremy" plaque. I don't usually think to use the word "evil" in any marriage concept. Really awkward.

All in all a nice wedding. Good thing TLC was still around.

That's such a weird thing to say, you might collapse from seeing your future husband? If anything, he should be the one collapsing at how beautiful you look.

I LOVE her shoes!! I couldn't walk in them but they show spark and a sense of fun. How refreshing in a Duggar girl.

I wonder if she might have put those shoes on for that photo, but wore something more comfortable, easier-to-walk-in for the ceremony. Cuz unless she's been wearing heels like that a lot over the years, I find it hard to believe she could have successfully walked in them.  I wouldn't be able to, but I've never worn heels more than an inch or two, and then only occasionally.

Jinger did a very nice job planning the way she and the bridesmaids looked.  I have a feeling that input on the groomsmen was a bridge too far in the Duggar household.  I don't think she would be able to get them to look any better than they did.  Boob isn't going to put out for shoes for himself, let alone all the guys.  He is a tightwad of the first order.  Jinger had that much freedom to choose only because of TV.

The little wooden people on the cake is super cute....BUT did ya'll notice that the little people resemble Jin and Jer in their wedding attire to a T? Even the dots on wooden groom's tie match Jer's and the bouquet painted on the bride little person matches Jinger's. Now, had I seen this at a friend's wedding I may have been all "aww, that's sweet."  But when I think about how modest these people are supposed to be, I'm not as inclined to be so impressed by your little exact replicas of yourselves on your cake in the picture you're selling to the magazine. And the little people replicas are just a little to "squee" for me when I think of sheltered, emotionally stunted, uneducated, "meek" Jinger marrying the much more educated, experienced, and worldly Jer. 

That said, the wedding looked nice (if over-pintrest-y) and I am impressed (although I think a few of the bridesmaids' dresses colors are just a bit off....I appreciate the attempt even if it wasn't quite executed as I'd have done it if I had their money).

Good luck, Jinger. Good luck, Jer.

The picture where Hannie isn't smiling gives me some hope that she's found some old People magazines and is perfecting her Victoria Beckham non-smiling pose or has seen some old episodes of America's Next Top Model and is giving the camera some "fierce." 

If the Duggars do look unhappy in wedding pics, I am so hoping it's because some of Jeremy's family and friends snuck in a flask or two of booze.

No, she didnt. She was saying she might need people behind her to catch her bc she would collapse when she saw him.

Is there a clearer picture of the groomsmen, or do you mean the picture in the church with the older Howler boys (who do look a hot mess, but weren't part of the wedding party)?

What I noticed was that the Jinger doll looked kind of African American or Hispanic in terms of skin tone... Maybe it's just the shade of the wood, but her doll is noticably darker than Jeremy's. Or was that just meant to represent Jinger's former obsession with self-tanner?

The photo in the church with Jin's train spread out. I believe the boys in the front row are Joe, the twins & Si. I assumed their suspenders and somewhat  matching ties marked them as groomsmen. They are wearing boutonnieres.

I agree it's weird, maybe she just couldn't express herself well?

There is no way that really happened, because presumably her father walked her down  the isle, so he would be the one supporting Jinger, not some 92 pound fundie lightweight.

Hello, mustly a lurker here but I had to sign in to say, seeing the boys lined up in the back of that one picture, I really dislike the shirt & suspenders with no jacket trend.  It can work in some settings, but I just think it doesn't fit in at all here.

They look like they are ready to drag out instruments like a wash tub tuned upside down with a stick with a piece of string on it, a harmoneeeeekah and a washboard.  Duggars NEVER look trendy, ever!!
