Amy Duggar: I Can’t WAIT to Change My Name!

Amy Duggar is commonly referred to as the “sane” and “down-to-earth” Duggar, and she frequently clashes with her notoriously conservative relatives. So in the wake of yet another Josh Duggar sex scandal , it’s not surprising that Amy is happy for the chance to put a little distance between her self and her disgraced cousin. Amy and Dillon King got engaged back in July and they’re scheduled to tie the knot this weekend. Obviously, Amy is excited about a lot of things these days (After, she and Dillon are saving themselves for marriage .), but there’s one aspect of married life in particular that really has her pumped. “I can’t wait to change my name!” Amy recently told People magazine. “It’s going to be a great day when Dillon signs that marriage license and my last name changes. You have no idea!” While she’s eager to drop the surname that’s earned such a negative reputation in the past few months, Amy says she looks forward to seeing the 19 Kids and Counting clan at her nuptials. “Despite all the crap going on in my family,” she says, “a few days from now will be an awesome moment,” says the bride-to-be. She adds that while she doesn’t see eye-to-eye with Jim Bob’s brood on several important issues, she has more in common with Jill, Jessa and company than most folks realize. “People have always called me the ‘Rebel Duggar,’ ” she says. “But I definitely have morals and standards.” View Slideshow: 11 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family

Josh Duggar: Persona Non Grata at Amy Duggar Engagement Party!

As the Duggars celebrated cousin Amy‘s engagement to Dillon King on Monday, one prominent family member was conspicuously absent. We’ll give you one guess who, and why … The Duggar Family Official Facebook page posted a photo of the large Arkansas clan, including the very pregnant Anna and Jessa Duggar . Jessa’s husband Ben Seewald was present. Anna’s husband Josh Duggar … not so much. The official group picture was captioned simply: “We are so excited for our niece Amy Duggar and Dillon King on getting engaged.” No mention of her eldest missing cousin. According to reports, an old friend of the family said, “Josh and cousin Amy are actually the closest in age and grew up together.” “They are close. If the scandal hadn’t come to light I have no doubt he would have been happily posing in the group photo.” That would be the Josh Duggar molestation scandal, of course, that brought the reality TV empire crashing down this spring. Is this a sign that rumors of the family shunning Josh and treating him like the third rail since his return to Arkansas are true? Conversely, did he sit this one out just to make sure Amy’s big moment wasn’t ruined by talk of him and his past misdeeds? In any case, he sent congrats on Instagram . “Congrats to Dillon & Amy on your engagement … welcome to the family @kingdillpickle,” Duggar captioned a photo of the pair. Some insiders believe the family hopes to ease Josh back into the public eye as his sex abuse scandal (hopefully) blows over. When that will be is anyone’s guess, though.
