Wait, wait, wait.  Let me get this straight.  The colors for the wedding were:  white, grey, pink, green, olive and blue.  Pick enough there did you?  So you gave your guests cupcakes and a candy bar/shortcake cake - did Jana get to make that as well as the bridesmaid dresses?  Don't they know it's garden season adn Jana has enough to do???

Yeah, that’s a cornucopia of crap colors. I hope the bridesmaid dresses are olive camouflage. 

It kind of depends on the shades. I'm reserving judgment until I see them. 

I don't have a problem with the desserts. It sounds pretty good, actually, especially by Duggar standards. Just think, it could have been Mullet and Jilly with their knives and unboxed cartons of cheap ice cream!

Josiah looks miserable.  She looks clueless and who let her have her hair like that?  What is with these girls and not knowing any hair up gorgeous styles for the day?  I read her father did her ceremony like Kendra's dad did.  Is it cool in the Fundie circle that a "pastor" can come into another one's church and do a ceremony? I've never seen that before.  It was always the priest(s), pastor(s) came with the church.  

If they did a candy bar like the one in the photo it would probably involve butcher paper and styrofoam bowls.  So sad.

The Counting On star wed Lauren Swanson on Saturday at John Brown University Cathedral of the Ozarks in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

It's fundie, but it also doesn't have a denomination attached, so it's not like he took over for Kendra's father in Pastor Caldwell's church or something.  I feel like it's thus nonsectarian ground, though could be wrong:

The bridesmaid dresses were made by Jana and Anna. (haven’t seen them yet)

 

Misread this as Jana and Anna made the wedding dress and I thought "makes sense." The top reminds me of Anna's (ugly, IMO) plain wedding dress, particularly the t-shirt shape. The overall effect reminds me of Meghan Markle's wedding dress, but at least she had the tiara to go with it, plus the veil...and the fact that she's Meghan Markle.

The bouquet is gorgeous.

Any other pictures popping up on Insta? I don't have one so I'm asking. TIA

*sob* People at FJ are posting about the wedding pictures besides the one that was released via People Mag. I don't know know how they are finding them but they are talking about the dress in it's full length and the cake. There are pictures out there and we must stalk the sources!

Poor Lauren and poor Si. I'm hoping beyond hope that we're all totally misreading this and SiRen will come off much better in live action, but we're a pretty astute bunch so I'm not hopeful...

Before I even read the comments, my first thought was "Si looks absolutely miserable." He could barely manage a half-smile and his eyes are completely dead.

Aren't the cakes usually a "gift" from a baker friend?

I saw the actual cake on FJ it's a huge heart with fresh cut strawberries on top. Not exactly made from a professional bakery. No buttercream roses or a bride and groom cake toper just really plain and childish looking.

Damn, a sheet cake for the bride and groom? It looks like something grabbed last minute at the Walmart bakery.

It's actually a heart shaped cake with fresh strawberries on top. Maybe it really is two sheet cakes cut up to make a heart--I really didn't think of that! I would lift the picture off of FJ but I don't know how.

How low budget was the wedding? They couldn't even afford a tiered cake or bridesmaids dresses. As for Lauren's dress, I hate it, Jana could have made her something similar or even nicer.

I had really hoped that we were all wrong in supposing that they really weren't that into each other, but these photos are just sad. Josiah looks miserable in the People photo, and there's no eye contact, and no physical contact in this picture. I realize it's just a candid shot and could have been taken in one split second where they weren't holding hands, or touching, but I just don't think so.
