Yesterday, we shared the details of the boating outing that Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell hosted for their joint bachelor/bachelorette party.
When Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth in May, they threw their bachelor/bachelorette party (a coed campout) just three weeks before the wedding. Joseph and Kendra have been engaged for nine weeks, and the average Duggar engagement is around 12 weeks, so we have to ask: When do you think Joe and Kendra will wed? Go ahead and post your predictions in the comments section.

August 19th
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Saturday Sept 2nd, Labor Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteSince Kendra's birthday is August 11, I'd say wedding Saturday Aug 12th or Saturday Aug 19th or Saturday Aug 26th, to keep it in her birthday month!
ReplyDeleteoctober 7th?
ReplyDeleteI think they'll get married August-September. Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteseptember!
ReplyDeleteAugust 19th!
ReplyDeleteThe weekend of August 12th or 19th.

ReplyDeleteAugust 12th!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna say sometime in October because I think I recall Kendra and Joe saying they wanted a fall wedding.
ReplyDeleteLabour Day weekend
ReplyDeleteI'll guess Labor Day Weekend :) or the weekend after which is Sept 9
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the Friday of Labor Day Weekend, too!
DeleteCan I just say that I appreciate that you allow for this kind of speculation on your blog, Lily and Ellie?
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly fun to see what the stats are on engagements for the other couples, and to guess when Kendra and Joe will wed!
August 11 for early choice, August 25 for late and choice I think it might be. But it could be the 18 too! Going with Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Little people big world, the Roloffs daughter Molly is getting married this saturday but has chosen to keep it small, intimate and private (not televised). I have so much respect for her and her fiance for doing this, can't see any of the Duggars doing that.
DeleteGood I really want to see their marriage
DeleteGood for Molly! She deserves the privacy she wants. It's quite another thing to demand "privacy" about your wedding because it's going to be shown on TV and sold to a magazine shortly afterwards.
DeleteAnonymous August 4, 2017 at 11:35 AM- Totally agreed! There's nothing "private" about a 1,000 + wedding. No one can be personally close to 1,000 people. How meaningful can that actually be? Then to sell it to a magazine for $$$ as "exclusive"? Shaking my head. That's not a scared occasion.
Deletei say 1st week of september they will say I Do
ReplyDeleteWishing them never ending love and happiness no matter when they wed!!
ReplyDeleteI agree god bless Joesph and Kendra I can't wait to see their wedding and I'm wishing them love life and a life time of happiness and children when god gives them kids of their own
DeleteAugust 18th or 19th
ReplyDeleteAugust 19th.
ReplyDeleteOn their Amazon wedding registry, it says october 7 2017...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was about to say. It was posted on this site actually!
DeleteYeah, that is exactly what I was going to say.
DeleteI think they're doing the same as Joy did and using a random date, since they want to keep the actual wedding date private. Some commenters have called that "lying", but I think unfortunately it's just a necessity for them to keep from paparazzi, fans, or crazies crashing their special day.
DeleteThe paparazzi still finds them. You can't invite 1000 people to your wedding and not expect some details to leak out in advance, intentionally or unintentionally.
DeleteMy guess is either the last weekend in August or the first weekend in September. Whenever the wedding is I pray it is full of love and God's blessings.
ReplyDeleteOh man they are darling! I hope soon! I so enjoy this family!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know why they put an October date on their registry if they knew that was a falsehood. Sometimes it's OK to lie, if it involves something important to you? You can put your registry on a password-protected site and only give out the password to friends, if you want to keep the date a secret. Or better yet, do away with the registry and remove all rumors.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the invitations are already in the mail, so how they're going to once again swear 1000 guests to secrecy remains to be seen.
Placeholder dates are not falsehoods.
DeleteI disagree, 4:13. It's telling a falsehood to purposely put the wrong date on your registry, to throw off the public. It sure isn't the truth!
DeleteMaybe they hadn't planned the date when they created the registry. Or maybe they just want to keep the actual date private.
DeleteIf it isn't anyone's business to know something, tou have no oblight ion to tell them. Everyone knows that sometimes placeholding dates are used on registries. I'm sure pols can figure that out.
DeleteJoy did it too, what's the big deal. They probably told their guest they wanted to keep it a secret and good friends would abide by that.
DeleteSeptember 15th
ReplyDeleteMore guessing games--like we are children
ReplyDeleteNothing to do with being a child, this is just something fun. Just like guessing when a baby will be born to a friend or co worker, and guessing weight and etc., its all in fun!
DeleteOnly tbose who like to complain about fun is either a child or too old to appreciate the joy
DeleteIf guessing games aren't your thing, you don't have to participate. No need to insult those who enjoy guessing.
Deletewithin 2-3 weeks maybe a little sooner
ReplyDeleteI think Labour Day weekend, either September 2 or 3.
ReplyDeleteI think they will marry in October. Wishing them all the best from Canada.
ReplyDeleteEither Late August or Early September
ReplyDeleteOctober 7th, 2017.
ReplyDeleteSoon hopefully.
ReplyDeleteAugust 13?
My guess is August 26th!

ReplyDeleteOctober 7, 2017!!!
ReplyDeleteMimi guess is September 30
ReplyDeleteNot sure an exact date but I'm guessing sometime around the end of August/beginning of September since that is when the new season starts!
ReplyDeleteAugust 18th or 19th
ReplyDeleteLabor day weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy Guess September 11th!
ReplyDeleteThat's a Monday. Also, they shouldn't get married on such a sad day. I know people who lost family that day.
DeleteSo no one should do anything good on that date? Or create good memories on that date? Every day of every year will bring memories of loss for someone.
DeleteAnonymous August 2, 2017 at 9:29 AM- I understand what you mean. Our daughter was 3-months old at the time and as a new mom, I was particularly heart-broken for all of the children who lost one or both parents and all the parents who lost a child in the daycare there. Our daughter was baptized last year on Sept. 11th at the end of our Church service- it was a beautiful way to redeem the day somewhat.
DeleteAgree 4:15. The best thing we can do to honor all those innocents who died that awful day is to live life to the full and enjoy every day. Making new happy memories on that date can only be a good thing.
DeleteAt Anonymous @ 4:15, I live 30 miles from NYC. I saw the smoke from my house. My town lost six people. My friend's dad never came home from work that day. Other friend lost one of his really good friends. I know several other people who would have been killed if they hadn't been running late or missed their trains. Many people who live in the DC and NYC areas use that day for reflection and service, not weddings and celebrations. It is still a very hard day for many.
DeleteAlmost everyone gets married on a Saturday, and I could be wrong, but I think the original poster was trying to start something.
Delete10:12 AM -- I hear you. September 11 is a particularly dark day for our country and is still raw for many of us. I can understand why an American would avoid that date. I would never choose it.
DeleteI agree
DeleteI think they might get married anytime between now and September we'll see long and patient they'll be before the pressure of waiting becomes too much
DeleteSeptember 2.
ReplyDeleteOct.7 for Joseph and Kendra's wedding.That is my guess.
ReplyDeleteAugust 18th or August 19th
ReplyDeleteEither 19th or September 2nd
ReplyDeleteMaybe end of September?! A bit cooler yet not cold - perfect wedding weather. Whenever they have the wedding I pray God blesses them greatly.
ReplyDeleteSeptember 2nd
ReplyDeleteAugust 12th.
ReplyDeleteMost likely not the 12th since Jim Bob is speaking at the men's conference August 9-12, and Kendra's Birthday is the 11th. However, the Duggar's are known to get married within a few days of their own Birthday(e.g. JB and Jessa). So, now I'm thinking the 19th.
DeleteSeptember 2nd
ReplyDeleteAwww! Congratulations on your engagement, Joseph and Kendra! May God bless you and keep you.

ReplyDeleteI thought it's public news -- oct 7
ReplyDeleteThey always put the wrong date on the registry to throw people off.
DeleteI don't think they throw people off!
DeleteWhatever you call it its lying, and as christians they shouldn't knowingly do that. Maybe they should keep the registry private for friends and family only that way they wouldn't have to lie.
DeleteAs Christians they shouldn't lie and they are strong Christians and I know the wouldn't lie! Give them more credit than that!
DeleteYou shouldn't say they are lying.Whatever argument you can give, you have no proof.
DeleteIt's not lying, it gives them a way to maintain some secrecy in regards to their wedding, without having fans show up. If you notice even with their large weddings, the date doesn't get leaked to the media.
DeleteMaybe they put the date on there before they decided the actual wedding date? And let's think about how it works on an Amazon wedding registry - a private registry is actually one that only you can see. A shared registry is one where people can only see it if they have the link. They can't put the link on the wedding invitation without being really tacky. They can't invite everyone they know because they know a LOT of people, and no doubt there are people (including fans) who want to bless them with a wedding gift but haven't been invited to the wedding. I know for a fact that there have been commenters here who wanted to send couples a gift from the registry in the past. There's really no good way to keep the true date a secret and still allow for a registry, given their unique circumstances.
DeleteSept.25
ReplyDeleteAugust 21st
ReplyDeleteAugust 18th
ReplyDeleteAug 5th or 12th
ReplyDeleteI also guess August 26th because it's my birthday!!!!
ReplyDeleteAugust 26th is also my birthday!
DeleteIs your birthday a significant date for them lol?
DeleteI guess august 19th
ReplyDeleteAugust 19th
ReplyDeletewhy getting married so fast, so young ?
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Kendra is the same age as some of my high school students. They all have plans for college and travel. I'm worried Kendra is holding herself back by settling down already.
DeleteHolding herself back from what??? Kendra, like her sister in laws, is brought up to marry young and have babies.
DeleteWhat I see is people imposing their ideas about what someone's future should hold. Getting married doesn't stop them from doing anything but being single. They can make their own choices and the sky is the limit.
DeleteBut there's so much more to life than getting married and having babies. College, traveling, and having a career are so rewarding. I feel that everybody should do at least one of those things before settling down. Women are usually fertile well into their 30s. She can have children later. She is missing out in my opinion.
DeleteMaybe it's always been her heart's desire to get married and have babies, upbringing or not, in which case who are we to hold her back? That was always my dream, and it was never pushed on me by my parents.
DeleteIf that's what she truly wants to do, then why shouldn't she?
DeleteDon't you think it's a big coincidence that every Duggar girl has the same heart's desire, to marry young and have babies right away?
DeleteFrankly, it's easier to "stay pure" if you get married quickly. The Duggar's themselves have said this on the record. But they use other terms like "Fast track".
DeleteIf a person chooses to marry and have babies what's wrong with it just because you don't choose that doesn't make it wrong
DeleteAugust 19th!!!
ReplyDeleteAugust 19th!!!
ReplyDeleteAugust 19th
ReplyDeleteGuessing Labor day weekend or before. Good luck to them!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking September
ReplyDeleteAugust 11th
ReplyDeleteAugust 18th or 19th
ReplyDeleteAug or Sept.
ReplyDeleteAugust or Sept
ReplyDeleteEnd of September or the the beginning of November
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Sept 2, my birthday:)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious that since the weddings are so large (guest wise) how they get invitations out so quick and food prepared. Do they order from a catering company? Most weddings I've been to the couples take 6 months to a year to plan, mostly because they are working to save money.
ReplyDeleteThey usually only have finger foods and desserts, No catered dinners. Family and friends pitch it. I read somewhere the average cost of a duggar wedding was 10000-20000, which isn't a lot for the amount of people.
DeleteTLC makes sure it all stays on schedule for filming and airing.
DeleteOk thanks for the replies :)
DeleteAugust 12 or 19. I think that they put the October date on their registry because they had to put a date. I think that they don't want to make the date public because they don't want press there. I am excited for them to be getting married, and I hope that it's soon. So much better to work on staying pure by having short engagements. They have known each other a long time.
ReplyDeleteI think they might get married in Early September or October!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to See pics they are a great couple
Sometime in August so they can show it for the season premiere of Counting On in September.
ReplyDeleteI know this is very fun and all, but since I personally know some of the Duggars and Caldwells, I don't think I will vote because of the constant idolization given to them. They are very sweet people- kind, personable, and joyful. It saddens me to see some websites give very false information about someone who is just like you or me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lilly and Ellie for giving kind and true and fun information on this blog! It is a breath of fresh air from all the trash in this world. <3
It's on their wedding registry as Oct. 7, 2017. Why are we guessing about this, do we think that Oct. date isn't true? Curious.
ReplyDeleteThey haven't put a true date on a registry in awhile.
DeleteWhatever date they put on the registry is never the actual date which honestly I find to be disengenuous. So, I do not believe for one minute that the wedding is in October. It's more likely August.
DeleteAugust 12th.
ReplyDeleteThe 12th of August
ReplyDeleteThat's my birthday. I think the wedding will be this month.
DeleteI think it will be Aug 26, 2017, wedding taking place in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good guess date for the wedding
DeleteOct is too far...aug or sept
ReplyDeleteAugust 18,19,or 26
ReplyDeleteeven though it was mentioned that they'd like to have a fall wedding, i'd have to say either the 11th or 12th of august if they keep to 'duggar time', especially if they've already had their bachelor/bachelorette party.
ReplyDeleteThe date is inconsequential. We all know the Duggars like to keep these occasions under wraps.
ReplyDeleteAugust 4th or 19th
ReplyDeleteAugust 5th, that way she can share her birthday with her new husband on their honeymoon.
ReplyDeleteas usual, it's going to be a big secret so that they can sell more magazines or have more episodes of Counting on.
ReplyDeleteMany won't agree, but I would like to see some of the Duggar kids go to college or have some more time to be an adult before jumping into marriage. As one of them said on interview show last week that wanting to be more physical in their relationships makes for real short engagements. I hope no more Anna/Josh situations in the future.
ReplyDeleteThey will marry before the season airs
ReplyDeleteWhile we are at it, we may as well guess the date the Dillards publicly address what happened when Samuelito was born.
ReplyDeleteWhenever it is I plan to watch call congrats on your engagement
ReplyDeleteI would like to think October. First off, they've mentioned a Fall wedding. Second,(selfishly...it's mine and my daughter's birthday month) Would make for a beautiful wedding time.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly see why they may have falsified their wedding registry. Like it or not, they are human😱. Even though they've placed themselves in the public' wye by having their lives broadcast, everyone and I mean everyone has a right to privacy and a "personal" life. Regardless of the date, I'm betond excited God has allowed their paths to cross. Best Wishes to them both as they become One.
They won't wait that long (Too much temptation) and are probably already married.
DeleteSo you should marry fast before "temptation" wins?
Delete10:25- That's how the Duggars feel about it.
DeleteOctober 7th!
ReplyDeleteWhat are Kendra's personal goals?
ReplyDeleteThat's a no-brainer ... to be a Godly wife and mother.
DeleteShe doesn't have any. She just wants to get married and have babies.
DeleteStaying home and having as many children as possible.
DeleteSeptember 23rd.
