Jim Bob and Mullet can't very well give kid #12 a wedding with 300 guests when kids 1-11 had 1000 in attendance (I think Smuggar and Ofsmuggar had "only" 500, but that was before the family had their own regular show). People would talk! The same goes for the Bateses. Their #16 will have a giant wedding because all the kids before her did. It's obviously a disgusting gift grab, a grifting technique that even favorite Jinger engaged in. Having said that, isn't it almost expected that the entire fundie world is invited to any and all of these weddings? Isn't this how many of the singles meet their future spouses? 2 Link to comment

Where do you get the idea that Jinger is a favorite? It's always been said that Jill is Jim Bob's favorite, Smuggar and Jessa are Mullet's. I've always had the impression, since the very first special, that by the time Jinger was born, there were so many kids already that Jim Bob and Mullet barely took notice of her and subsequent kids.

I want to say Kendra's in third, but I can't see their dresses that well. Jill, dead last! Why would we expect something different from someone who has no class or taste and refuses to allow anyone to give her some? I'd definitely put Jill's above Jessa's, because the color was better. But then I expected Jessa to blow the wad on her dress, uncaring about the rest of the wedding budget. 5 Link to comment

I like the idea behind Jinger’s dresses and I like the styling of the dresses themselves. I do not like the range of colors she chose. When I have seen this idea work before it has always been dresses that are different shades of the same color (e.g. pale blue to navy) or are within the same color family (e.g autumn colors... I had a friend who did that theme and her bridesmaids were in deep red, burnt orange (it looked way better than it sounds), a deep gold color and chocolate brown). Jinger’s could have worked if she stuck with shades of red, or even the reds and the peach/beigey shades, but Jana’s blue and Jill’s bright purple just don’t look right. 6 Link to comment

My sons who are 30 all still get together with their friends to play them. Jessa just doesn't have a clue about what young people do. Even those who love God, still play video games. I also think she disses his music style too. This, is not respecting the man. He's ass-whipped by her. Sad, as I don't think Ben deserves that from Jessa. 22 Link to comment

I wonder if Jessa (not Jill - too dim, not Anna - too Fundy) has thought ahead 2, 3 or 10 years and realizes her life will look pretty much the same, only with more children? The Candyland wedding was just fine in Lauren's mind and she's starting the Fundy Fairy Tale, which includes a baby in 9 months. 8 Link to comment

It’s sort of like the Duggar weddings in that we invite a bajillion people, and there’s no dancing. But that’s because we’re too busy shoveling in food and 53% white liquor to dance lol. Many people are no longer viewing weddings like this, but my family is very old fashioned (and materialistic and honestly kinda awful). Basically your wedding is for your parents. The bride and groom aren’t the center of attention. The parents pick nearly the entire list and it’s expected that the guests bring red envelopes filled with (a LOT) of lucky money. In my family, they expect $300 USD minimum. Otherwise, you will never be spoken to again and your name will be trashed everywhere as cheap. That part isn’t tradition lol, it’s just my family being assholes. But the trade off is - even if you are 2 pennies away from being broke, you better have big platters of meat and seafood there for the guests. Then when their kids get married, you will be paid in kind. Meanwhile, no one knows where TF the bride and groom are because n1crr. My aunt and uncle recently had a banquet to celebrate my new cousin’s 100 day birthday. They had lobster, abalone, fish, roast pork...I legit thought they were going to have to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy but they surprisingly made it all back in red envelopes. But, their favorite gift was the Minnie Mouse romper I got them. Yeah, my family knows that when I get married they get no say in the invites, it’s going to be 100 people, and we’re having a taco and donut bar. My 2 favorite foods! If I weren't married I would ask you to be mine! On 7/15/2018 at 5:05 PM, ginger90 said: The Dillards posted pictures, and videos from the wedding on their blog. Cha Ching!

The tables at the reception look nice, too. Oh, and I think the bridesmaids look nice, too. I know that some people didn't think the style was flattering for some of the bridesmaids (Joy), but I like them. Compare and contrast with the hideous bridesmaids dresses that Jill and Jessa chose, and they are especially beautiful. I don't know what kind of "gameshow" style game they were playing, but that seems unfortunate. I think they do things like this because no one has an actual thought in their head, and they can't converse with one another for more than about 20 seconds. The games are to compensate for the lack of social lubricant, but they can only go so far in making things slightly less embarrassingly awkward. ?

I found instructions somewhere online (Reddit, I think) and measured myself after losing about 15lb. Eventually I was able to get to Nordstrom’s and the bra fitter confirmed what I’d come up with was correct.
