Did you see our post late last night? Our recap of Jinger's wedding episode will be a few days late because we don't have access to a computer this week, but we want to make sure you know that Joy-Anna Duggar is in a courtship! His name is Austin, and the two have known each other for 15 years.
Here is an announcement video from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, as well as one from Joy and Austin:

Happy for Joy-Anna---Hope they have many great times as they court. Jingers wedding was beautiful--will be a hard wait till January to see the prep for it.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone share what they are saying (Joy and Austin) there is no closed caption :( I would love to know what they say..
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I'm thrilled for Joy and Austin. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratiolations too you both!
ReplyDeleteVery happy for them. I ask this in all sincerity Do they not allow Jan a to be in a courtship? It just seems different. It's just she seems like such a lovely young women I find it difficult to believe she hasn't found someone
ReplyDeleteI've heard that Jana has just turned down a lot of possibilities, that she's very picky. Which there is nothing wrong with. But I will look forward to when she finds her perfect one!
Deletedid they go to the place alone??!!
ReplyDeleteHow old is Austin and for how long are they courthing?
ReplyDeleteWhy are they not giving his last name?
ReplyDeleteForsyth
DeleteYay for Joy and Austin. Love your family and enjoy sharing exciting moments with you all.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Joy
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Joy. . I will be so happy when Janna announces she is in a courtship. I think she is so sweet and absolutely beautiful! Cant believe she hasn't been taken alreasy...God has something special planned for her :)
ReplyDeletePraying for a great courtship experience for you both.
ReplyDeleteThey seem smitten with each other. How old is he?
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to believe Joy is old enough to be in a courtship! It seems like she was just a little girl! Congrats! I miss 19 Kids and Counting especially Jim Bob'S sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteJoy Anna sounds just like Jinger. However the video with her parents was very awkward! Congrats to Joy!
ReplyDeleteI Thought Some Time Back I Had Heard That Joseph Was In A Relation Ship ???
ReplyDeleteThey broke up some time ago, shortly after the news about Josh's infidelity broke.
DeleteSo happy for Joy and Austin. I will pray for the both of you.
ReplyDeleteCould you do a post about the duggars schedule now that the older girls are out of the house.
Joy looks like shes about to cry. I hope this is what she wants. 19 is awfully young.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Joy and Austin! So happy and excited for you!

Rebekah...my sentiments exactly!
DeleteOur 7 year old daughter's spelling is the same as yours...
Rebekah Nicole. Such a beautiful name you each have.
Merry Christmas from sunny Goodyear Arizona!
So happy for her 😀
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Joy! I have one question. If gods plan for yoy girls is to be stay at home moms, why dont any of u know how to cook? Lol i would think it would be one life lesson your mom would of made sure u learned.
ReplyDeleteMy parents didn't film a message (with me standing right there) for the world every time I started dating someone, or when I got engaged. Did I miss out on this important message of family love? Should I feel shortchanged??
ReplyDeleteTo each his own, right?
Deletewas your family on a national television show and loved my millions of fans?! why come to the duggars FAN page if you are so critical?!
DeleteDuggar family like to watch your show on TV but we don't have cable right now so I like to watch more of your shows this is Amanda in Oklahoma City I hope you have a good life head of you...
ReplyDeleteNice! How old is austin and for howlong are they courthing?
ReplyDeleteI think he's 22.
Deletewhen is the oldest daughter going to start dating?
ReplyDeleteWhen God puts it on her heart to take that step. Right now she's contentedly single.
DeleteWhen she is ready.
DeleteI'm so excited for Joy. What a blessing to be entering a courtship with someone she's pretty much known her whole life, and Jim Bob and Michael are really happy for her. Can't wait to watch them tie the knot.
ReplyDeleteMore like transfer authority...
DeleteIf I were in the shoes of these young people "courting", I'd be very hesitant to announce it to the world. It's not an engagement or even necessarily a commitment to anything long term. Making such a formal announcement just seems like there's potential for a very awkward situation down the road
ReplyDeleteif someone has a change of heart. These two are still so very young and have their whole lives ahead of them. No need to rush things.
Ohhhh,she is one VERY pleased young woman. It will be interesting to see how things pan out for these two.
ReplyDeleteAustin looks like Chad Paine!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such wonderful news you are in our prayers and thoughts!
ReplyDeleteGod bless to both of these young people - know they will be a dynamic couple for the Lord.
