Counting On Recap: Jinger Duggar Gets Married!! Joy-Anna Duggar is Courting!

On  Counting On Season 3 Episode 11 , Jinger Duggar’s wedding finally arrived, but where there any uninvited guests, or other surprises? What did we learn from this special, behind-the-scenes TV event? Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 11 Online If you  watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online , you will see that as Jeremy and his friends got ready for the ceremony, something was amiss. Or missing, to be more accurate. Some were lacking items from their suits, making you wonder if they don’t get dressed for a wedding every day or something. Geez! In any event, by the time the group photos were taken, everyone was dressed, and handsome, and love was in the air on this afternoon. The former soccer star called it “a dream come true” that his father, who called it “one of the greatest joys,” was officiating the wedding. As Jeremy and Jinger got ready, they passed notes back and forth via the younger kids. No texting. Old fashioned hand-written notes. Of course, Jim Bob is probably on the duo’s group texts anyway, so in a way going retro and cutting him out is also very futuristic. Ironic. Anyway, Michelle predicted that Jim Bob, for all his flaws and often-deserved criticism, was a softie who would cry at Jinger’s wedding . She was correct. Within seconds of seeing Jinger, Jim Bob teared up. “You’re so beautiful,” he said to his daughter, who proceeded to walk down the aisle. In a quiet moment, they prayed, and Jinger gave her dad – the central figure in her life until now – a handkerchief with a message on it. “You are the first man that I ever loved. Know that when you give me away today, I will always be your little girl,” it read, very sweetly. Jeremy was already crying himself. During the ceremony, they lit the unity candle, then ended things with passionate kiss. Per Duggar courtship rules, it was their first ever. “I was just blown away by how beautiful and gorgeous and majestic she was … is!” Jeremy said, while his new wife gushed over him: “I was just so overwhelmed with joy and gratefulness, and I just could not wait to be his wife. First kiss was amazing. Right on!”  Right. On. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Photos: The New Face of a Famous Family! Meanwhile, in other news, Joy-Anna Duggar is courting ! The 19-year-old revealed that she is indeed in a relationship with Austin Forsyth. “I’m Joy Duggar, and this is my friend Austin,” she reported from a scenic mountain vista, introducing her new boyfriend to the masses. “And I just asked Joy to enter a courtship with me,” Austin added. “And I said yes!” Joy responded, and it seems like a good fit. The two have already “known each other for about 15 years,” and he chose this location specifically to begin a courtship with her there. They’re both “excited to take the next step.” We’re all excited to see where it goes. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar: 13 Things to Know About Me! We’re also wondering, as we always do … Why isn’t Jana Duggar courting instead? Is she being stonewalled by Jim Bob and Michelle because they need her to take care of their kids? Is she really just not interested in it and making it a priority? Or just waiting for Mr. Right? Or forever turned off by Josh Duggar’s infidelity?  So many questions.

Counting On Season 3 Episode 6 Recap: Welcome … to the Main Event!

Tuesday on  Counting On Season 3 Episode 6 , Ben Seewald joined forces with NFL stars to give back to the Northwest Arkansas community. Also, Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo planned a trip to New York City. Come along as THG recaps all of these key events and more. Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 6 Online “Sports can be a great avenue to invest in kid’s lives,” Ben told producers in the not-so-articulate fashion fans have come to know and love. Ben is usually a source of boundless optimism for wife Jessa and the other people in his life, but last night’s episode featured a rare moment of self-doubt for the 21-year-old. “If the camp doesn’t go well, I’m going to feel pretty bad,” Ben said at one point. Fortunately, with the help of former Steelers and Colts linebacker Steve Conley, the camp went off without a hitch. Crisis of self-confidence averted! Elsewhere in the episode, Jinger Duggar prepared for a trip to the East Coast with fiance Jeremy Vuolo. Of course, this was before Jinger and Jeremy got engaged .  So yes, Jinger traveled with a whole crew of chaperones (Michelle, Jessa, Ben, and even Baby Spurgeon). The Duggar devoted may have already known this as the trip that prompted Jinger’s hair crisis . Jinger Duggar: Curling Iron Crisis! More importantly, however, it’s also the trip on which Jeremy popped the question. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see that moment in last night’s installment. But that doesn’t mean the episode ended on a cliffhanger. If you watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online , you are keenly aware that Jeremy has already made his intentions very clear to Jim Bob Duggar and the rest of Jinger’s family. Just to drive the point home, he made certain to point out that he was packing the ring that he and JB had picked out for the occasion. “I’ve got a small surprise for Jinger you could say,” Jeremy told the cameras with a smirk. Ben told the cameras, “Jinger has no idea what’s coming for her!” We think she might have an inkling Ben. Y’all haven’t exactly been subtle in keeping in plotting this little surprise. In other contrived plot lines, Jana Duggar set out to redecorate the guesthouse in preparation for Jill and Derick returning from abroad. Hey, other people have to do something while the Jinger and Jeremy show marches on, right? It’s reaching the point that Jinger’s siblings might be more eager for her to just go ahead and get married than she is. On second thought, no one is more eager for Jinger’s wedding than Jinger is. In fact, it’s possible that no one has ever been more eager for anything than Jinger is for her wedding. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Photos: From Childhood to Courtship! We can’t say we blame her. The girl’s 22 and her physical contact with the opposite sex has been limited to side hugs. Should be a fun wedding night. Just sayin’.

Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: Jinger Duggar is Courting!!!

On Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 , Jeremy Vuolo enjoyed his first meal with the Duggars and Jinger revealed her courtship rules. Or lack thereof, as it turned out. Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 Online Jinger, quite clearly, is smitten. “Jeremy Vuolo is my best friend from Laredo, Texas, and he recently asked me if I would enter into an official courtship with him,” she said. Jeremy, clearly, is smitten too. “It’s a big next step, and it’s an exciting next step,” Jeremy added, as they went to Jessa and Ben Seewald’s house for ice cream and conversation. With Jessa’s father Jim Bob sort of awkwardly there too, Ben asked the new couple they had discussed any of their “courtship guidelines.” The response? “I have a desire to save the physical for marriage,” Jeremy said, noting that he “understood the temptations” in rushing into the sex. Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo Reveal Courtship Rules … or Lack Thereof Pastor Vuolo reiterated that the duo would “enjoy each other” in the physical way another “season,” but not right now. Because #courting. Joseph Duggar then broke down for viewers at home the list of Duggar courtship rules and other things banned by the famous family. As we all know if we watch Counting On online , side hugs are okay, but frontal hugs are not. You just don’t want to touch fronts. Yet. Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 was a refresher course in Duggar courting awkwardness, which also forbids holding hands or kissing. Is Jinger ready to rebel against this nonsense? View Slideshow: 13 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family “You don’t have to it all listed, like a set of rules,” she told the cameras. “It’s more the general idea and letting people around you know.” Jessa Duggar weighed in that there is obviously the natural, physical pull to be close, which is why you needed to “let people help you.” In other words, chaperone to stop full-frontal hugs. Ben and Jessa offered to do just that, chaperoning Jinger and Jeremy, who later went to dinner at the Duggar compound and held his own. Jana Duggar, the eldest daughter of the family, could see them getting married, but her twin, John David, was still “checking him out.” Joseph reiterated that the brothers are “not going to just hand over” their sister to anybody, and would be watching Vuolo like a hawk. Such an intimidating bunch of virgins. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Photos: From Childhood to Courtship! Jill and Derick Dillard, who witnessed the couple’s first meeting on a mission trip, noticed them paying special attention to each other. Having done the long distance thing, they certainly know how it goes and how challenging it can be, but Jinger seems up to the task. Meanwhile, a bunch of the siblings decided to go on a trip to learn survival prowess; Jinger attended with a Vuolo jersey-wrapped pillow. Yes, she made a pillowcase out of one of the former soccer pro’s old jerseys. Kinda tells you all you need to know right there, right? Naturally, love-struck Jinger spent most of the car ride to the survival camp on FaceTime with Jeremy and worrying about losing reception. Ah, love in the 21st Century. Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard on Missionary Life: So Much Rape, Kidnapping & Murder! In non-Jinger-related updates, Jessa, Ben and baby Spurgeon hit the gym, where Ben talked about one of the latest big ideas he has. With the aid of trainer Steve Conley, a family friend, he’s thinking of establishing a football camp to help at-risk youth. Would be cool. As for their workout, Seewald seemed to exert himself slightly more than Jessa or Spurgeon, but we’ll give the latter duo a pass on that. Meanwhile, Jill’s parents gave her air conditioning units so she and Derick could keep their windows and doors closed, which was huge. Not only for the obvious climate control and creature comforts involved, but because violent crime happens all the time in El Salvador. “You have to strike a balance,” Derick said of managing safety risks and isolating themselves from the people they were there to help. Derick said sexual assault is prevalent in Central America, along with kidnapping and murder, and that as Americans, they are targets. Yikes.

Demi Lovato Has a Message for the Haters

Demi Lovato is busy making new music these days, while also planning a tour with Nick Jonas and remaining clean and sober . In other words: she doesn’t have time for your crap. Hear that, haters? On Tuesday afternoon, the artist felt a need to defend herself on Twitter after a couple people apparently grew upset at her ignoring them in public. “No matter how long I’ve been doing this, sometimes the madness with the yelling and pushing becomes overwhelming and to avoid people either getting hurt or having more anxiety, I go inside hoping my fans will understand,” Lovato wrote. She didn’t delve into specifics, but it seems as if some fans were hoping for an autograph and/or a few moments with the singer. But Lovato was simply unable to provide them with either. “Today I had 2 instances where I had rude things yelled at me because I didn’t stop for every single person,” she added. “When stuff like that happens it actually really sucks. It’s not okay and just remember, I’m used to getting hate but I’m human too. So please..Take your negativity elsewhere.” Lovato, of course, is never afraid to speak her mind. She even called out Taylor Swift last month for being a fake feminist. In this case, however, Demi said her piece and then moved on to a professional announcement: She and Jonas will be headlining the 15th anniversary of the Honda Civic Tour: Future Now where attendees will get to hear all their old singles and new tracks, including Demi’s single “Stone Cold.” “Being able to tour with someone you have considered one of  your best friends for 9, 10 years, you don’t get to do that often,” Lovato said at this week’s press conference, teasing a duet in the process: “We are working out the details, we are trying to figure everything out. We want it to be an unforgettable experience. We are very hands on with all the details. If you ask me in two months I can give you a solid answer.”

Jill & Jessa "Counting On" Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: All About JANA!

Like last Tuesday’s premiere, Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 Episode 2 offered insight into the lives of some lesser-known Duggars. Most notably and awesomely, “Cinderella” herself, Jana … Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 2 Episode 2 Online You don’t have to watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online to know that Jill and Jessa are but two of 19 Duggars, with kids of their own now. That makes for a lot of kids – and littler kids – in the fold. Jana Duggar, despite being the oldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle (she and twin John David are 26), often gets lost in the shuffle. Still unattached, Jana’s love life has been the subject of massive speculation for years among card-carrying members of Duggar Nation. Her love life, in a manner of speaking. Or lack thereof. As anticipated, Jana opened up about being single on Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 Episode 2 Tuesday night. What did she say? “Maybe, you know, I’ll meet the one and get married and have kids and stuff,” she mused when asked where she sees herself in five years.  She’s in no hurry, however, for one simple reason. No, not because she’s controlled by her sisters : Jana has high standards and none of her potential courtship candidates have met them! “There have been different guys who’ve come along and asked … but they haven’t been the right one, and so it’s just one of those things.” “I’m not just out to get married to the first one that comes along,” she revealed. “I mean, sometimes it can be tempting, in those moments.” Jana noted that it can be tough when “your siblings that are married and have little ones are going out on dates and doing their things.” Still, the beautiful reality star insisted that instead of obsessing over getting married, she’s “being busy where God has me right now.” Where God has her – or Jim Bob, Michelle, Josh, Jessa and Jill order her – has been the topic of much debate among her fans. Asked by producers what she thought of the fact that people think all she does is cook and take care of babies, Jana laughed. “I don’t always like to be on the forefront,” she admits. “But I enjoy the behind-the-scenes and working on different projects,” she mused. “I don’t only cook and take care of babies. Surprise!”  Her immediate goal? “Just go on with life.” Solid. What that meant in terms of last night’s episode was to install canned lighting throughout a house and manage a construction crew. Jana Duggar. A Renaissance Woman of many talents. View Slideshow: Duggar Family Members: The Official Power Rankings! The ring-leader of the Duggar Construction Co. LLC (not an official company, but they might as well be) set her sights on Jessa’s home. “I think all projects end up being a little bit more complicated than what you expect if you’re trying out something new,” she explained. The lights she installed looked great, we gotta say. While she was running that show, many Duggars traveled to Central America for missionary work and to visit Jill and Derick Dillard. Though cameras didn’t follow them on their journey – Jim Bob and Michelle were criticized for going – it seemed to go well, to Jana’s relief. Jessa and Ben Seewald, meanwhile, decided it was high time they went on a date – their first since the birth of baby Spurgeon in November. The destination? Tacos 4 Life. According to Jessa, it was “a romantic date location” despite its shabby appearance. Hey, date night is all about the company, right?! As they often do, the happily married Seewalds discussed their plans to adopt children – early and often – once Spurge gets a little older.
