Can a couple get any cuter???? They are so obviously joyful and happy together!! :) :) :) :)
ReplyDeletePLEASE somebody post Going the Distance for Love online!
I second that plea for a YouTube post!
DeleteIf I know Jill, she will most certainly bring gifts from her trip to the rest of the family members.I just noticed that Jill and Dericks clothes match, that's not the same outfit she tried on at first, could they get any sweeter.I would love this family to know that if I have a bad day , all I have to do is Watch a show of theirs, or read the books, or come to this site and look at pictures and then my day brightens.The power of the Duggars, they sure can make a difference in my day.I can always count on them, unbeknownst to them they have made a big difference in my life, infact they helped save my life.I will forever be grateful and loyal to this exceptional family.Godbless the Duggars and their fellow followers.

I dont usually day things like this about famous people, but: they are SUCH a stunning, darling couple. I pray God's richest blessings upon them. They seem as though they are just made for eachother, and they way they beam is so heartwarming.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing photo of their wedding! Lily and Ellie, do you know if there will be a TLC television special of Derrick and Jill's wedding?
Thank you for posting this collection of images.

So beautiful
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful
ReplyDeleteThese two are just so cute together and look so comfortable. I think they are at peace with who they are as individuals. They seem humble, self-assured and so ready to take the next step into marriage. They are delightful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for them, I really do hope that they stay happy together. However, I don't buy the public story about prayer partners, and that Jill and Derrick just met in person at the airport in the episode. They already seemed familiar with each other and they were quite "touchy" in Duggar standards, JimBob let them get away with that and that is very much opposite of how he and Michelle treated Jessa and Ben. I think they already had something going.
ReplyDeleteOne thing the Duggats are not, is liers, so if they say thats the first time they met was at the airport , then thats true. That a big part of their unique love story
DeleteWhat a sweet couple! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute together ... Jill and Derick were made for each other :)

YES PLEASE! I am waiting to watch!
ReplyDeleteJill and Derick are so sweet. They literally glow when they are speaking about each other or when they are in each other's presence. Such a delight to witness God bringing them together!
ReplyDeleteI second that. I have been checking YouTube almost hourly. Please
ReplyDeleteAh, young love...
ReplyDeleteAwww that's so sweet! I wonder when the wedding is!!! :D
ReplyDeletelove the pictures
ReplyDeleteDerick is a great guy. He led. Or he followed and everyone followed him.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY MOTHERS DAY MICHELLE AND ANNA!
ReplyDeleteHey Lily and Ellie do you know when there planning to her married? Is it going to be a spring or summer wedding?
ReplyDeleteHe really looks like he would treat her well:) He seems to be the perfect one for Jill because they both are so similar yet they balance each other really well. They say opposites attract, but in this case I don't think that really applies!

ReplyDeleteHi Alison,
Yes, TLC is planning to air the wedding on the show.
Glad to have you as a reader. :)
Lily and Ellie
Happy Mothers' Day to Mary Duggar, who should NOT be forgotten; which I think she is. What did Jim Bob do for his own mother? It's always about Michelle and what is done for her and what she gets... don't forget, Jim Bob, if it wasn't for YOUR mother, you would not be here today!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute couple !
ReplyDeleteI really wish someone would upload the last episode!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really. Want. To see this. Episode. Did anyone. Post it on YouTube
ReplyDeleteSomeone commented that Jill and Derick were so familiar with one another and seem to question the truthfulness of their "we just met" story. I have not idea, but I see no reason not to take them at their word. I can absolutely see the two of them feeling very close after the months they spent skyping before she went to Nepal. I was also surprised by the pre-courtship PDA shown, but I think they already felt so close and connected by the time they met in person that this seemed natural to them. Also, if you look at the first photo of Derick waiting for Jill he looks a little nervous, makes me think this was legit, not all manufactured for the cameras. In any event you can't disguise the fact that they are crazy about each other!
ReplyDeleteThose two are sure cute together. They both smile from ear to ear when they are together. Love that Jill and hope she has a happy ever after. She is a lovely person and has always been a very kind sibling on the show.
ReplyDeleteWhen will it be on YouTube?
ReplyDeleteEAGERLY waiting on the video to be posted!
ReplyDeleteWish Jill could be with Derrick by herself without JimBob lurking. Thankfully, she will be married soon enough!!!!

There was a show on a BBC station car show about the three wheeled vehicles and they are very, very prone to tipping.

ReplyDeleteI wish people on this blog would listen to the truths of parenting: If you don't have anything nice to say(especially to Christians like the Duggars) don't say anything at all! Adults are acting like children when they ridicule the Duggars! Derick and Jill love each other even more because they've gotten to know each other spiritually and emotionally. If you believe something else FINE but the Duggars do not need to be put down because they don't agree with EVERY little thing you do!!
Amen, Amen,AMEN!!!!!
DeleteI thought that it was also nice that Jill and Jim Bob utilized this moment as father-daughter time.
ReplyDeleteYour family is such an ispiration to all! I love your family dynamics, how you make the house run smoothy and how the older ones care for the younger ones. You are all a true testament to what a caring and loving family should be.
ReplyDeleteThey did not just meet, actually. The post is saying that they are meeting up again. They already knew eachother! :)
