Kissing Duggars and Bates

Only a few hours until we start releasing pictures of Jill and Derick's wedding! Until then, we thought we would share kissing photos of the newlywed couple and the other Duggars (and Bates).

  1. Cute kissing pictures. I had no idea that Michael Bates was courting. When did that happen?

  2. Nice too see Micheal and Brandon and Alyssa and John since we don't get to see much of them. I saw some of Alyssa's wedding pics over at the Bates blog and they were gorgeous.

  5. Commenters have asked for blogs on some of the other members of the Duggar family and we still get another blog on the couples. Couples and love are nice but please give some attention to the rest of the Duggars too. How y'all doin? Thanks Lily and Ellie!

  6. What I love about their principles and convictions is that just by looking at these pictures you can tell who is married and who is not and it's a beautiful thing because nowadays there's no difference between dating couples and married couples

  8. No updates on Michael and Brandon or Jessa and Ben? I had hoped we would have heard more. Jill's dress is beautiful just like she is. Thank you for sharing the pictures and thank you Duggars and Bates for allowing us quick glimpses into your lives.

  15. Lovely couples - I can't help thinking that for people who aren't allowed to do more than a side hug eg Ben and Jessa - they sure manage to fit in a lot of head hugging instead!!! I hope Brandon is ok with courting a girl with a boys name - Michael - seriously now she's an adult she should try and do something about it unless of course she just likes it or is used to it.

  20. The Bates and the Duggars are all lovely, not a bad looking one in the bunch (not that I would say if I thought otherwise), thank you so much for keeping us updated. I've been a fan of the Duggars for years and the Bates for a couple of years but it's such an exciting time as these kids we've watched grow up fall in love and start their own families. I think Jess will be engaged soon and I predict in 2015 Janna, John David and Jinger will start courtships.

  21. Jessa is finally looking comfortable with Ben and I'm glad for Michael Bates and Brandon. I just saw some pictures on the Bates' blog of Alyssa and John's wedding. Such beautiful people all around.

  22. I don't remember the Duggars mentioning Aylssa's wedding. I was confused with her and Erin. It looks like they got married a month apart, and then Zach. Was it 3 weddings in one year?

  23. @Rebecca Helms Erin's was in November, Zach's in December, and Alyssa's in May.

    Hi Anonymous 26,

    ABC recently aired a segment on the Bates family. It was centered around Alyssa's wedding but also gave an update on Zach and Whitney and the rest of the clan. We posted the video to our blog: http://duggarsblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/gil-and-kelly-bates-and-their-19.html
