«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 276 of 276Jinger looks a little happier in the engagement pictures than she did in the courting announcement. I always worry that Jinger feels she does not deserve happiness because of some comments she's made in the past. I don't think this marriage will bring her exciting city life but I hope she can see some of her dreams come true outside of the Duggar household.
No surprise--- All details of courtship & engagement on "Counting On"...Jeremy said it himself.
Look at the engagements photos. Jinger is doing a bit more then a "side hug". Also, look how big Jeremny's hands are....one covers most of her back!!! Just some observations...but they post hoping for observations and publicity for the show.
I think they were courting for a while just kept it quiet. Remember last season when they went to Branson keep pushing ginger and joy about courting
Picture of Michelle posing with the newly engaged couple. Jim Bob and Michelle are nothing but helicopter parents--controlling and annoying.
Now Jimboob will have another wedding paid for courtesy of TLC. The new season of Counting On (more money) will be the meeting, courtship and engagement. Jimboob and Mullet will do premarriage counseling and all they will relive all the other Duggar weddings. Big yawn.
I agree with Gen!!
Jinger is desperate to get out of her father's house!!
Who won't!!
Except poor Jana !!
I think she drank the Kool-aid and feels there is no way out!!
I hope Jinger is getting a better husband that Jill and Jessa got !!
Wow I don't get it!!
I really hope that Jinger and Jeremy have known each other for a long time (a year...that would be a long time in Duggar time). Jinger strikes me as having some self-esteem issues and also desperate to get out of the Duggar house. She's now engaged to a man who is much older than her and has actually lived on his own in the real world (making him seem even older than her). And someone said that he's said that he likes women to be submissive? That feels like a very imbalanced relationship. If you want a patriarchal relationship, that's fine, as long as it's your choice and it's not your only option. I don't think Jinger could really assert herself in this relationship if she wanted to, because he's so much older and more experienced and she's been beaten into the ground by her parents and Quiverfull for so many years.
I really want Jinger to be happy, but I'm worried that the relationship is proceeding quickly because either Jinger wants to get out of the Duggar house or because her parents are pushing for material for another season. If you look at the Nielsen numbers, viewership went through the ROOF when the girls starting courting. They were getting 0.8-1.5 million/episode up until Jessa started courting. Then viewership jumped to 2-3.3 million/episode. Given how poorly Counting On is doing, I'm worried that Jinger's courtship would be the hook that the Duggars are using to get another season.
What does this engagement mean to the Duggar family? IMO, more work for Jana. Joy and Hannie will be bumped up in the housework department...Michelle will do nothing more than she already doesn't do. It will mean exactly the same pre-marital steps; modest wedding gown shopping, pre-marital counseling by JB and Jchelle... a overly large attended ceremony and a cheap child's outdoor "reception" with either carnival snacks or a child's birthday menu...and mostly, the Vuolo family will be totally ignored. All paid for by TLC.
Michelle had no place in ANY of those photos; but I will tell you why her face is in some of them...it's for accountability. They want to show the world that Jin and Jer weren't alone on that rooftop. How utterly ridiculous of them.
Congratulations, Jinger. You will have your own televised wedding (probably in September), and you'll have your televised delivery of your precious giant baby by the 4th of July next year (just in time for the next next season of Counting On). Unless, Jessa upstages you!
I hate that now I want to watch some of the new season. I just want to see how Jinger is with this guy. Jill and Jessa were both so "sweet" and "adoring" during their courtships/engagements but Jinger has always seemed more levelheaded. I also have always felt like she and Ben were actual friends. She often seems far more comfortable talking to Ben than Jessa does. I was hopeful J&J would resist some of the courtship rules - then I saw Michelle in the engagement photo. Some things never change...
Jeremy looks high maintenance. I laughed when I read Jinger's outfit she got engaged in cost 6 bucks at a resale shop. Look at Jeremy's clothes. I highly doubt he has ever set foot in a thrift shop. Those days are probably over for Jinger., which is good for her I guess. Just hope they can afford it. But at least they are starting out right, they sold their engagement story to People. That is fetching some big $$$ right there.
Who breached privacy regulations to announce Jeremy was diagnosed as a narcissist? By the way that isn't diagnostic category.
For those hoping that J+J have known each other for a long time. They say they met in May and I don't see why they would lie about something like that. It would actually look much better if they said that they have known each other for a while.
I'm sort of wondering what that guy is doing being friends with Ben. Ben is much younger and even younger in terms of maturity. Jeremy has gone to school and had a "real" life before meeting Jinger. I don't really buy this. friendship thing. It would have been much more credible if they had said he was friends with Derrick. Could this part be a lie? I wouldn't be the first one.
They met in May, 2015, so knew each other about a year before getting engaged.
I am not going to put through comments saying Jeremy is "a narcissist" or that he has NPD. Yes, NPD is valid diagnosis. Narcissist is not. No one here has clinically evaluated Jeremy. You can say you think he loves the spotlight, that he's an attention whore, that he thinks too much of himself all day long if you want.
I agree Julie. I do appreciate and respect their thrifty ways but yeah this guy does not look like he fits in with this clan. He looks preppy. I bet he is loving the royalties he is making from all this. Yep, easy money for one more that courts/proposes to a Duggar.
One of the Duggar fan sites says that Jinger was courting for seven months. That would make sense, reality tv manipulates time lines and requires their actors to keep secrets or lie.

Look at Jinger in New York with her hand on Jeremy's lower belly. Little miss innocent gonna give him a boner. Really modest if you ask me. Mommy and Daddy should have a talk with the two.
Nan
I deleted my comment. Unfortunately what I was thinking and what I actually typed were two entirely different things. I usually reread what I write and pick up on anything that is inaccurate or just foolish. I didn't edit that time, and am now very sorry.
To clear things up, in an interview Jeremy tells of meeting with a psychologist hired by the soccer coach. A professional never breaks confidence, so I wanted to correct that idea. In the interview Jeremy brought up the experience and he told the media the following:
And the sports psychologist would always question me and say, ‘I think you want more money and I think you want more fame and I think you want more attention and approval.’
Later in the article Jeremy talked about leaving soccer and becoming a preacher.
I hope he is actually sincere in tempering his desire for fame, money and attention and isn't crafting his response to promote the view of "I once was lost and now am found, was lost and now I see." Not that I see anything unlikable about him, I just know those things NEVER bring contentment and/or happiness. Everyone deserves happiness.
TLC promo video has Jinger squealing "JEREMY" in her best MEchelle mini mouse imitation. It's sickening. So over these stupid, overdone, staged, rehearsed, badly acted proposals scenes.
Dear Jinger, please please please wear shoes on your wedding day! Don't repeat your sisters' podunk, redneck, hippy, low class, bumpkin ideas of bare feet. So gross.
Ouf, may 2015! Ok that's better!
People say how happy Jinger looks in the photos. I don't see her that happy well maybe in a couple. There are some where her smile looks so forced she is showing all her teeth. If this is normally how she smiles let me know. I hope she truly is happy but I have an uneasy feeling about this.
I just saw the Ad for the new Duggars show. Actually it appeared that Jinger was about to be proposed to. All I could think of was it was exactly like a cattle auction. First one daughter is put up for auction,then the next & then the next, as Jim Bob leans against the wall with that stupid grin. Yes, life is good again for Jim Bob. When the Jill & Jessa Counting on show was coming on after the big scandal, I was begging people not to watch & give them the ratings they so desperately wanted. However my efforts were in vain & now I'm sure those same people are just waiting for the Duggars to return. Whatever happened to their "mission." It was never going to be a TV show, they were going to teach all of us how to live Godly lives. I cannot even express my disgust at the Duggars as well as TLC. I'm not including the viewers who will watch & give them their ratings because I still believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just as I have stated mine.
They may have some views but they only have a few sponsors remaining. I'm still hopeful that the movement to boycott the remaining sponsors will continue in Full Force!!! I don't see how TLC can rationalize continuing the show with NO advertising revenue.
Let's see . . It's coming up to August . . .I think it will be an early Fall wedding. Could it be organized in time? If I'm remember correctly, Jessa's wedding was November 1st and it was a bit chilly for outdoor ice cream sundaes and root beer floats. So I think Ginger will learn and it will be earlier in the year.
Where's Jim Bob? Photos of Jessa, Ben and Baby; Jeremy, Ginger and MIchelle in NYC but no Jim Bob? What is happening? Is he home policing Josh. Weird. We know he loves the spot light so it's funny he hasn't posted anything yet Charles and Diana Vuolo have posted a congratulatory message. What's going on?
I just hope and pray they do move away so jinger can have a life she loves instead of being controlled by daddy duggar. hope this guy is smart and does not listen to jim bod. hope the wedding is not going to have a wedding with a thousand people and cupcakes but a real wedding.? lets us see.
Andrea, my guess is that Jim Boob is home babysitting Josh. Why else would he not accompany MEchelle as she zigzags across the country filming for that miserable excuse of a tv show?
Jinger will have another wedding planned in a weekend with lots of carnival food, too many guests and rented port-a-potties dotting the parking lot.
Of course Jinger will have a huge wedding. She needs to get all those presents from thousands of people. Remember Jessa's list, from highly expensive kitchen gadgets (most likely still in the boxes) right down to candy, soda and dinner gift cards? Where are the enormous amount of gifts Jill & Derrick received not only for their wedding but for the baby? People chose these gifts with caring and love, spending hard earned cash and then woooooooooosh....off Jill & Derrick go to Central America, leaving all behind. Curious to hear what God tells Derrick to do next!
I highly doubt that JinJer will move to Laredo, Texas at all. "Somehow", a pastor-like position, (pseudo-Duggar style) will magically appear for Jeremy right there in Arkansas. If I were Jinger Duggar, I'd run as fast as I can AWAY from both Jim Bob and Jeremy. Get a life, girl and enjoy it.
I think all the "he's Italian" stuff is over-exaggerated about Jeremy. Does anyone know how many generations they have been here in the U.S.? Is his mother, Diana, Italian? If not, he didn't grow up in an Italian run household. It's the mother that makes the style of the home. I am full, 100% first generation American of Italian ancestry and I can say that. If anyone has a remotely Italian home, it may be his Vuolo grangparents, IF his grandmother is also of Italian ancestry herself. I'm pretty sure they aren't the authentic thing...just some generation removed from the "old country". Is he of Sicilian ancestry? Then, that's another ball game. Sicilians have their own type of customs, that mainland Italians don't have. I'd like to know, really, what is the story there. Also, Jim Bob needs to learn how to pronounce that guy's last name. It isn't pronounced " V-OH_LOW"...it's "V-W-O-LO" with a "short "O" "cut off" sound at the end. And for heaven's sake, Duggars they aren't "EYE-talian"....pronounce THAT CORRECTLY ALSO. Study up.
Maybe it was Jim Bob's idea to avoid extra expenses. If he can't get 'em free than he don't need 'em. I'm sure the Duggars have some saying like that.
Side note: I'm hoping this family with 19 kids in England pass Jim Slob and Mechelle with their number of kids. That would just irk them to no end!
I am feeling that Jeremy is an opportunist. I would not be surprised of God will speak to him soon instructing him to start a ministry near Duggar land so he can appear on the shows without all the expensive and time consuming travel for the camera crew, endless family visits, etc. Jimbob might be missing right now because he is scouting out abandoned churches , getting the scenes ready for TLC to film the renovation of the church with the little Duggars hammering and painting away. Michelle, with her little girl voice, observing (not working) saying something like...."they have servants hearts, look at them work for the Lord". Then, miraculously, the church will suddenly be professionally completed, just like the tree house & the main Duggar mansion. Could this be going on now?
I agree that Jim Bob is watching Josh.....somebody has to.....
I think that bare feet look romantic in outside, natural settings.
I am really hoping Jinger gets to move to Texas, otherwise Jim Bob and her bestie Jessa will boss her every move if she lives near them. Jinger might not like the idea at first, but making a clean break right off the bat would, IMO, be the best for them as a married couple. Sadly, I suspect Jim Bob has already negotiated this idea and Jeremy is going along to get T.V. "stardom". The Duggars will never change.
I believe Jeremy is marrying Jinger partly so he can get tv exposure. I saw a video of them announcing their engagement and he thanked the fans for all their best wishes or something along those lines. I also believe Jimboob will not allow them to live in Texas. He will somehow talk them.into living near the Duggar compound so he can control them. He doesn't want any of his kids to lead their own lives and make their own decisions.
Jinger and Jeremy will no doubt make a wedding registey full of high priced items that they will expect their wedding guests and fans to buy for them. They will have 1000+ guests and hold their reception in a parking lot and serve their guests cake and coffee.
Jim Boob is really missing from all recent photos. Something's rotten in Arkansas. He's too much of an attention whore to be off camera unless it is extenuating circumstances. Something's up.
Mystery solved. Josh, Jim Bob & Co attended EAA Oshkosh Airshow. Josh is so grossly overweight I didn't recognize him at first. He has the girth of a middle aged man. It's creepy . . . they do appear to be coming him away from their daughters or at least that's what the pictures seem to indicate. I really do wonder where he's living . . . Hopefully it's away from Anna and his daughters.
Susie- no offense but most likely josh will be at home with his family, what exactly will Jim Bob be watching josh from?the parents solution was to lock the girls in at night+horrible fire hazard), NOT to teach and and equip joshwoth the tools needed to be a normal adult human.
to see how this plays out. Will Jeremy cow tow to dim bulbs every ridiculous request? Or is he just as ridiculous? Will Jinger be perpetuated or freed. So many questions. The answer lies in-jeremys clearly strong will of jom bobs clearly delusional, controller mindset.
To so many comments I would like to say-spot on , I agree, wow. Most people have a clear idea of the Sad situation. Just want to let you all know- I hear ya!
Boob has been in Oshkosh for the air show with all the boys for 3 days. Nothing going on there...just busy with something else...probably at TLC's request.
JB was at some Oshkosh airplane show with all of his sons and 2 grandsons. Josh was there too. I saw it on their Facebook page. Wonder if they think airplanes are for boys only?? So that means Jana was stuck at home with the little girls since we saw Michelle and jessa chaperoning Jinger and her fiancee in NYC.
If Jeremy's family is traditional Italian, there will be a multi-course feast at the wedding reception. Just a tad classier than melted ice cream in the parking lot. I hope she gets the "free jinger" happy ending, but JB & M will do everything in their power to stop that from happening. They don't seem to follow the Biblical principle of "leave & cleave".
Re: comments by life of their own. If the Duggars are truly happy to have this new man in their family & they trust their daughter, why do both Michelle & Jessa have to chaperone Jinger & her fiancée in N.Y.? Of course, we must remember that following these chaperoning rules are really a "personal conviction" for any of the Duggar girls, it's not something that the parents are enforcing (enter sarcasm here)I would assume that Jessa must have dragged her son with her on these chaperone duties she & her mother have taken on. After all, she is probably still nursing her son. I suppose dragging Spurgeon along comes second to watching Jinger every moment. It truly is a form of abuse when a woman Jinger's age needs to have 2 chaperones with her, on what I see as essentially a PR trip, to get the viewers back. I agree that without sponsors it will be more than just a little bit difficult to continue this farce of a show. However we all know by now that no matter what the issue is, including child molestation, addiction to porn or adultery, somehow Jim Bob & his 24/7 PR machine will eventually get what they want. TLC has already made their intentions clear to everyone by continuing with his farce of a show. If Jinger & Jeremy "decide on their own" (enter more sarcasm here) to remain in AR, we will definitely have proof that none of the adults in the Duggar family will ever escape from remaining under the headship of Jim Bob & having a life of their own. I honestly believe that Jim Bob is totally insane. You don't treat your adult children this way. The man has let all this power he has over his kids go to his head. Of course there is plenty of room for that, as it appears nothing else is occupying that space.
Does anyone else find it strange that all of these sons-in-law or future ones have such a servants heart that they want to be involved in a ministry of their own. The good side of that is, we will have someone other than our own spiritual leaders telling us how to live our lives in a Godly way. Of course, right at the moment Ben the brilliant, doesn't quite know if he wants to be a minister or a rapper.
I agree with almost all of the post on the blog. I believe Jeremy is looking for "fame & fortune" without working for it, just like all the other Duggars. It's amazing that the Duggars have these sons-in-law that don't need to do any real work, except for the occasional errands they do for Daddy Duggar. As far as Jinger moving away from the Duggar compound, I don't look for that to happen. Jeremy is already talking about being a minister or doing missionary work & there always seems to be a need for these missionaries or ministers in the area of where the Duggars reside. I believe Jinger's dreams of living in a big city as she has mentioned many times will never come to fruition. Jim Bob's PR team must be working 24/7 to get this show/ministry back on the air for another 9 or 10 yrs. Jim Bob will sacrifice his daughters lifelong happiness for the good of the show. Let's not forget that TLC is compliant in this disaster.
On another subject why do both Michelle & Jessa need to be in N.Y. chaperoning the newly engaged couple? Jessa must be dragging Spurgeon with her, as she is probably still nursing him. Michelle dear, you belong in your own home in AR because you still have many little children to raise. Oh so sorry about that mistake, we know that's now Jana's job. Jim Bob is an absolute idiot. His children which are a blessing from God, are being severely abused. There are many forms of abuse & Jim Bob fits into a large number of these categorizes. Perhaps it's because there is nothing of any importance going on between his ears. There's just nothing there, nothing at all when it come to his children. He may be able to make a living off of TLC & all his other ventures but there certainly is nothing there for raising well rounded children with educations & minds of their own.
Just one more thought has Ben the brilliant decided yet whether he wants to be a minister or a rapper?
I find it ridiculous that Jinger is chaperoned by 3 people and a baby. I also find it curious if this family meeting was over that weekend why Michelle went without Jim Bob? If he was going to Oshkosh air show, they could have rescheduled the meeting so all parents would meet, like normal people. I think Jinger's real engagement happened a while ago and they just kept their mouths shut about it for publicity's sake, of course.
I'm getting weary of the "real wedding" comments. What the dear readers know as customary is not customary for all. Just for info I did not see any real food served at a wedding reception until I was past 25 years old. That included weddings of families of millionaires. It was the standard of the culture there.
Jim Bob really does know how to keep a show going. All the blogs on social network are flooded with comments about Jinger's engagement. Yes those girls are lined up just like a cattle auction & Jim Bob is laughing al the way to the bank.
I sometimes think if Jim Bob actually had all control over his children, he would be able to convince Jana to court and marry someone he approved of. He knows THAT WOULD BE TV PAY DIRT FOR HIM. Everyone would love to see Jana marry someone that would be great TO HER and FOR HER above any of his other children at this point. Jinger courting and marrying anyone is just a repeat of Jill and/or Jessa's experience. A few more ratings points, but not by much. How is Jana able to escape being set up in a courtship? I think it is also Michelle's desire to not let go of her head housemaid, cook and nanny, so Jim Bob doesn't try really hard to marry off Jana.
I am really a little shocked at the many Itialian wedding reception comments- that J&J's reception has to have tons of food because that's the way Itialian wedding receptions are! No, not all if them. I have lived all over the country, have attended many weddings, included "full-blooded" Itialian weddings and it depends on the custom of the area and the wishes of the bridal couple. I have been to Country Club receptions, outdoor receptions, beach weddings, even receptions held on a large yacht. So many variables...A wedding is about 2 people getting married in front of family and friends, not how much food is served! By the way, I am not a Duggar fan but I don't understand the commentary about what kind of food will be served at the reception. The wedding will be in Arkansas and therefore, why would it be an "Italian" wedding anyway when the bride is not Italian and it's the bride and her family who usually plan and pay for the wedding?!
Lizzyb I agree. I have never understood a family shelling out thousands of dollars on one stinking meal to serve guests. It is such a waste of money in my opinion. With all that money people could have fed dozens of homeless or starving people in our own or another country. Serving them dessert only is such an economical way to go and you are celebrating the 2 people who just joined lives/families together. It is not about if they serve you a 7 course meal after. I know a lady who refused to go to her good friends wedding because it was not a sit down meal! How selfish!
Sharla, I hope I can say one more tiny little thing about the weddings. I think there is one variable about the weddings that I haven't seen mentioned here. One big difference in "cake and punch" weddings and full-meal weddings is the religious aspect of course. Families that don't drink and dance don't need to hang around the reception for hours and hours. Families that drink a little and dance a little, or listen to bands, tend to have longer receptions as there is "more" to do; therefore more food is nice. This can be cultural as well, but also goes along lines of religion. If you don't drink, smoke or dance, there is not all that much to do and you can just eat cake, take some pictures and go home.
I saw poor pathetic little Sierra Jo Dominguez working on coming up with pumpkin truffles. I remember she suggested a "pumpkin table" for I believe it was Jessa's shower.
Of course, she will stick her nose in and again be the "Arkansas weddin' planner". I do not watch the show since I do not want to contribute to higher ratings which helps them stay on...but I can't wait to hear what tacky things Sloppy Jo comes up with for this event.
I just looked at JinJer's new engagement pictures. What a fashion disaster she was there. First of all, that dowdy sweater over an ugly, but color full dress was awful looking. Who wears a cardigan sweater in the middle of the summer and a heat wave in NYC to boot? It looks like she's wearing one and a half dresses that Jana sewed together for her...and Jinger, please wear a slip next time...it's not modest for the world to see your legs up to your underwear in that one photo from behind. The light is directly in her derierre.
They don't have much chemistry in photos, sorry to say, hopefully it'll be real for Jinger in the near future and just not caught up in "the first guy to be able to say "hi" to her" syndrome like an 8th grader asked to her first school dance. (also something in which the Duggar children know nothing about).
Heart in Florida, agree with you about Jinger's see through dress. What is modest about that? And it's not like a fan took the picture and now it's all over the internet because someone wants to embarrass Jinger. Jinger and/or her family put that pic up themselves and don't seem to see a thing wrong with it. That's what I don't get about these people, they really don't think for themselves. They just do what they've been told, like mind-numbed robots.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That that is exactly what it is like. Then you realize you are stuck for the rest of your life with your first date, whom you might have never gone out with again after that first date, if you had lived in the real world. He might have been right for someone else but not you and now he is yours. "shudder"
I'd volunteer as a chaperone if it would get me a free trip to NYC! That's what I'm thinking is Michelle's line of thought. She always has her indentured servant Jana so kids are no issue.
I read they at planning a much smaller wedding, which may mean they want to do the Italian thing. I hope so, it will be so much nicer. Jinger deserves a nice event.
I get the feeling Jeremy is a control freak too. Even though that doesn't bode will for Jinger, it would be fun to give Jim Bob a run for his money. We'll see....
Don't hold your hopes up too much for a decent JinJer wedding reception. A "smaller, more intimate" one may simply mean 800 instead of 1000. I can't see the Duggar family doing anything remotely "EYE-talian". Jinger, for all practical purposes, is going to move to Laredo, Texas with someone who really is a total stranger to her. A few months of courting means nothing. She has never spent one moment alone with this man, and he IS a man, an EXPERIENCED man. She, is a 14 year old with NO experience to compare him to. She doesn't know what she is getting herself in to in the least. I hope the best for her, but I don't have much hope.
Jinger had better buy moisturizer by the case down in Laredo. It's very dry out west there, as her skin, hair and nails will be brittle in no time. She also needs to invest in a lot of rubber bands to get that long, heavy, hot hair off of her neck. It's just not practicle OR SMART to wear two shirts and long, heavy denim skirts out there. That girl needs to wise up and dress cool. One can be modestly dressed with light weight fabrics, that don't have to include modesty undershirts....
Does Jinger know that Jeremy bites his nails? They look awful in that engagement ring close up photo...could be a very annoying habit for her to have to deal with.
Let's see....USMagazine has a picture of Jinger and Jeremy with five slices of different cakes in front of them. Looks like a cake testing session for the reception. Faintly in the background you can see a city bus going by the store window. That suggests that they are at the caterer in a city (NYC?) because that is where the wedding will be held. My prediction is a NYC wedding.
And by the way, don't believe for a second that they haven't set a wedding date like they claim in the magazine article.
In the promo for their new season with jinjer coming down the stairs, I thought she looked like an akward little kid. Poor girl.
It's a tattoo, good luck finding out in any recent photos, you can see it during the tv show, but they air brush it out of photos
Jinger is moving too fast with the only man she has ever talked to. Jessa couldn't marry Ben immediately because he was a teenage boy. Jessa seemed to be a little hottie so Jimbob set the teenage boy up in a shed on his property to keep an eye on them and assure Jessa would marry the boy as soon as decently possible. I always thought that trip around the world to meet Derrick was ridiculous as he was returning home shortly after their trip. She was like a giggly 12 year old girl being given to a more experienced man. Now we have Jinger, about to go off to some Mexican border town with a man who in reality, does not have a job. How can he support her and the children she must produce with a little start up church in a Spanish speaking town? How can he be doing so much traveling to NYC, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, if he he is really running a church?? Guess the request for donations is about to start.
I feel sorry for Jinger. It's all about her right now, starry eyed trips to NYC, wedding on TV, etc. but before she knows what happened, she will be alone without family or friends in hot & dusty spanish speaking Laredo, Texas with an experienced man she doesn't really know. He looks like he could be a tough task master.
Marlene is absolutely correct in her assessment regarding the speed in which Jinger is moving with Jeremy, a man she hardly knows. After the sparkle wears off Jeremy, and she realizes that every other male "is like him" what will she do? One can see the polish has worn off Derick in Jill's eyes, and that shame gleam has left Ben in Jessa's eyes. They are both stuck with their spouses AND a child to boot. It just isn't a good idea for a completely inexperienced woman to rush in to a permanent marriage and conceive a child asap. What a let-down she is in for. Combine the fact that she's moving to "Mexico, USA", where she won't be able to relate to anyone down there, she will really be alone.
One small correction. They met in May 2015, and started courting mid-December. It just wasn't publicly announced until this past June, when they got engaged.
Angelina: Thank you for your post. I don't know how your timeline add up though. On the episode, Jinger is packing for her Laredo trip and she said she and Jeremy were courting 2 weeks. They went to Laredo at the end of June. How does that add up?
She said at least he is a College Graduate, and was a Professional Soccer player!
