JD & Abbie: She captured the Bachelor before the Rapture :)

This is a good one! I was going to recommend Captured Before the Rapture but I like the bachelor thrown in. 

[Fuzzysox]

Now that JD and Abbie are engaged I'm looking forward to them having their own thread. How fast can this happen? Do we need another pole or just go with She Captured the Bachelor Before The Rapture??

[Jeanne222]

Wow John David engaged to such a pretty girl.  Color me shocked!

[Westiepeach]

I am happy to see JD actually animated! He has life in him!

[humbleopinion]

The dude is horny...and in love... Mazel tov!

Abadaba sees him, acknowledges him.

Think the shame of his stupid brother hung heavy on him unlike the rest of the family who are shameless.

He always reminded me of Eeyore....

Abby may have the schooling and license to be an LPN, but has she actually worked at a real healthcare facility with those skills? I haven't seen anything indicating this to me yet. Perhaps she's a stay at home daughter who pursued this as a pass time until she married. No education IMO is lost. It would be a shame if she never had an actual,, real LPN position somewhere. She'd be a run of the mill fundy woman that never was exposed to the real world. I'd like to know what the facts are about this, really.

Hormones are a funny thing. John David has come alive....nothing like those feelings that are stirring up, you know. Even though these two are in their upper 20s, I'm sure they're both emotional adolescents just the same, with absolutely no relationship experience. At least they have had some years to observe others. Hopefully, that has helped and they will be happy together. I think JD is a more laid back guy and seems like he's be a nice husband in their circles. Glad for them. I hope they have an "Abbie" style wedding, not another Duggar social fiasco.

Wasn't there something further back in this thread, that I am too lazy to search through, so relying on my admittedly not perfect memory, saying she works in some kind of care facility?

[Sew Sumi]

I think the discussion was that she was QUALIFIED to work in such facilities. We've never had confirmation that she ever worked. She probably did....until she started courting. If that's the case, she was in school longer than she was employed.

I agree. Abbie looks beautiful in that second picture. 

[Heathen]

Anybody notice Abbie is wearing a sleeveless dress? And it looks to be at knee length or maybe just above. 

Her family may be Gothardites, but I suspect they're the more pragmatic type of Gothardite.

[allonsyalice]

you know what? i dont watch this show anymore, but id totally 100% tune in to see Abby be like "John...I want us to have a first dance" and then an episode of John fumbling through dance lessons. I know it wont happen but id watch.

I love the sister's bridal look. Very simple but elegant, plus I'm a sucker for lace. I'm shocked to see dancing though. My understanding is the Burnetts are hardcore IBLP.

I really hope the wedding is in Oklahoma, just to get a change of scenery.

[kalamac]

The no dancing thing annoys me.

I’m not even religious, and I know there’s passages in the bible that say things like “let them praise his name with dancing” and “he danced for the lord with all his might”.

Nobody ignores the spirit of the bible more than the fundamentalists who claim to live by it.

I believe that the no dancing traces it's roots to the delightful rays of sunshine that were John Knox and later Oliver Cromwell.  Catholics danced so therefore they had to do the opposite.  Who cares what the Bible actually says.

I belonged to a church that didn't allow dancing except choreographed worship dancing.  The rationale was 1) dancing created arousal and made people want to have sex, and 2) dancing was generally done in venues that served alcohol, which was also verboten.

Oh man, the Duggars are gonna blow a gasket!  I can see it now, JB making lame  excuses for not dancing with Michelle, Jessa letting Spurgie “jump for joy” or whatever the hell she said, Jana with her perpetual stank face (because despite her popularity on some forums, I think she’s a condescending bitch), and Josie twirling joyfully and recklessly all over the floor.  Oh, and Deredick scolding Izzy for wanting to join in the fun.  Please TLC, make this happen.  That’s an episode I would watch.

Maybe if he ignores the music and pretends they are playing mini-golf it will be OK...

[SMama]

I can’t see the pictures. Is anyone else having the same problem?

UGH, I can on my laptop not my phone, weird. I really hope that the father-daughter dance and first dance are very important to Abbie's family. Because it is going to be so much freaking fun watching the expression on the sanctimonious Duggar faces. JD is going to go all Footloose.

[DkNNy79]

I hope Abbie and JD get the wedding and reception that THEY want.  I'm hoping they understand they have some leverage.  Threaten not to allow TLC to film if their wishes are not taken into consideration.  People are more interested in this wedding than if one of the younger J Slaves were to get married. 

[lulu69]

Regarding dancing at the reception, please, pleasssse let John & Abbie do the Dirty Dancing move where she runs into his arms and he lifts her over his head.

I would watch the hell out of that wedding episode.

Q. Why don't Baptists have sex standing up?

A. Because it will lead to dancing!

A lot of wine drinking in the Bible too!

[xwordfanatik]

As a teenager at a church his family attended, Mr. Xword was told that playing his guitar was sinful, because it would make people want to dance, even more sinful.  His family switched churches after that.  No churches for us, and 50 years later, Mr. is playing guitar more than ever as a retiree.

Music and dancing.  I hope JD and Abbie have both.  Boob's head would explode, and that I'd like to see.

Now remember, when the Bible talks about wine it means un-fermented grape juice.  I still remember trying to keep a straight face when I was first told that one.   A few weeks ago I ran into the husband of the girl who told me this at a bar.

There's a lot of sex-having in the Bible, for that matter.

Not only are they dancing, the bride's hair is up rather than a long, straggly mess. There may be hope yet.

Ugh with that logic.  How can fundies think they’re better than everyone else when they can’t even dance without fear of it leading to sex?  Most folks have no problem with this.  I guess our mental fortitude is better than theirs.

[Fosca]

Nah, I think those types of fundies think we heathens are boinking like bunnies whenever we're out of their sight.  Which is not only not true, but I wonder if it leads to increased boinking by those types of fundies trying desperately to keep up.

I can see that.  They pop out a kid every year/every other year and unless they get pregnant on the first try each time, I would say they are the ones who are boinking like bunnies.  It took me 6 months of actively trying to get pregnant.

[tarheel220]

Speaking of dancing, one of my favorite hymns is "Lord of the Dance".  Part of it goes "Dance, dance, wherever you may be,. I'm the lord of the dance said he." Apparently these people have never heard that one.

[DragonFaerie]

I really hope Abbie and John have a first dance.  I can that if they do, a lot of the Duggars will probably leave like they did at Cousin Amy's wedding, right after the photos.

[Sew Sumi]

I think they didn't attend Famy's reception more because of the booze than the dancing, although I'm sure that was a lesser factor.

I remember a photo of some of the older girls walking into the reception or wedding and all making faces  like they were having to mix with the unwashed, heathen masses.  They really have no clue what a lot of the rest of the world sees them like, do they?

Yes, she does look like a lovely bride.  That dress (what I can see of it) looks beautiful and delicate.  I hope Abbie finds something similar.  At least if her sister helps, we know she has some taste.

[humbleopinion]

AbaDaba stay away from the Kleinfelds of the Holler with Miss Renee of Kentucky and select a dress where your sister got her lovely dress.

I demand dancing, TLC...time to  shake up the boring same old, same old cheapo Dugg wedding.

I hope...

Dreck will stay home in protest...Yass!

Jilly will choose  to stay home with her man and weepily write inarticulately of  her sad emoji face of not attending...

Jessa with be in the background camera shots with her stanky disapproving resting bitch face.

Bin will be caught swaying to the music and dancing with himself in the corner.

Jinge and Jeremy will be dancing...with dipping....

I want JD in a white tux with tails...go all out for his happiest day on earth....if, of course that's what the bride wants.

I want  a choreographed bride and groom dance number... double middle finger to Chelle and Jimblob

The bridesmaids are Abbie's sisters and Jana...no matronly married Duggs in the bridal party.

Edited July 27, 2018 by humbleopinion

[DragonFaerie]

YES to all the above!!!

100 times.

[humbleopinion]

Who will be JD's best man?

Would love Jana to be it but that is too radical....

Is Joe the closest to JD?

[DragonFaerie]

Hmm, I wonder what would happen if he picked one of the Bates boys?

Just not Boob.  We know he's not going to pick Smuggar.  But I think Joe is the next oldest boy.  I'm not sure how close their relationship is.  Maybe the sinner twin that is taking flying lessons?

[Spencer Hastings]

I would guess Joe or Zach Bates.  He and Joe spent some time in the trenches together, but Zach credits JD with helping him the most during his failed courtship. 

[humbleopinion]

 JD would not even insult Abbie by asking  if JBlob or Molester could be in the wedding party.

The viral outrage of SM, the loud roar their faithful viewing audience who hate the enablers and the deviant would  take away from what could be a joyous occasion of  a Dugg who is breaking the mold by marrying a woman who is very much out his league.

Hoping the stupid Duggs have as little input as possible...letting JD and Abbie work with TLC production and producers to orchestrate their wedding.

Hope TLC learned their lesson how cheap and tacky Si's wedding looked because it was rushed and 2 children were making the decisions.

I was just going to post about "Lord of the Dance".  It is one of my favorite  songs too.  Now I'm going to have it playing in my head. (For the good, not bad.)

I'm also hoping Abbie goes her sister's route for her wedding attire & hair. 

[GeeGolly]

Fingers crossed that Abbie's family plans this wedding. I'm not hopeful about the dancing though. Abbie and her family may decide not to out of (ugh) respect for the Duggars. Or maybe they'll compromise and MARRIED couples can dance.
