simply beautiful
ReplyDeleteShe’s very pretty
DeleteWay too young, but Claire's mother was eager to marry someone into the Duggar family.
ReplyDeleteIt's not for anyone to say young or old. And not sure where you got the eagerness from. Sounds like you are jealous.
DeleteWhere do you get the jealousy vibe from?!? I would say the blogger is giving their opinion, maybe even being critical. But it doesn’t sound to me like they are jealous in any way. It’s more like you are being hyper-defensive.
DeleteI married at 19, will be 50 next month and still married to the same man. It doesn't matter how old someone of legal age is when they marry, if they are both in it for the long haul, always respect each other, and love each other unconditionally they will have a long marriage. It's those who give up and don't try that end up divorced. Maybe your remark is a bit of jealousy, as maybe you had a marriage that didn't last.
Delete10:11 I think the OP comment was uncalled for, but I have a hard time pinning down what there is to envy about the Duggars. I know I wouldn't change places with any of them for any amount of money! I certainly wouldn't want to switch places with a couple of newlyweds barely out of high school, whoever they happen to be.
DeleteLive and let live. So much negativity about things that do not impact our lives in any way. Thanks
DeleteSomeone is jealous of someone's daughter marrying into the Duggar family? HA HA HA
Delete@859, is your name negative Nancy? It's not nice to knock someone else for marrying young. There is nothing greater than growing old with your best friend. I married at 18, my husband and I both are college educated (paid our own way), have 3 beautiful children, and have been married 24 years. We are very happy still. Just because other people may have a bad experience in a relationship or divorced young doesn't mean everyone will.
DeleteThat's your opinion but not sure where you got that info about Claire's mom. That is a little weird.
DeleteThat is your opinion and assumption.
DeleteTime will tell, those who doubt.
DeleteSuch a lovely video and I was about to say the Officiate looked like David Waller! Ha... I'm usually not into that shade of green but with the baby girl pink it worked.
ReplyDeleteIt was David Waller!
DeleteHappy ☺️ 8 months anniversary to Justin & Claire Duggar. May God bless you and the Duggar family members and the extended family members. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you and everyone. I am praying that there will be a spin off of the Duggars and the extended family members hopefully sometime soon in the future of 2022 with the Duggar family members and the extended family members family. I would love ♥️ & be very happy ☺️ and excited ❣️ that to happen. Natasha b

ReplyDeleteThis is to Natasha’s mom. Please have a talk with her about what is going on with the Duggars and why there probably won’t be any more shows. Her comments are just sad now. Find something for her to focus on other than this. I’m sure she’s a sweet girl but these repetitive comments are becoming a bit much.
DeleteDo you honestly think that spin-off is what's best for any of the Duggars, considering the present circumstances? You may have to accept things as they are and move on, dear.
DeleteI’m glad someone is addressing this with Natasha. She is so sweet, but I’m afraid she is just setting herself up for disappointment. And it does get wearisome reading this on every blog entry. On the other hand I have read that some of the girls would like to get something going. But it won’t be soon. There is too much going on with the charges, right now.
Delete@0952, I don't see anything in her post that states she is under the age of 18, so why involve her mom?? Natasha seems to be a very positive person and if that's how she feels let her be. That is one of the main problems in this world, everyone trying to make everyone else believe or feel the way they do. The whole family is being punished for the wrong doings of one person.
DeleteYet again!! Sigh.
Delete5:32, Natasha's mom has responded before to explain about her daughter, that's why.
DeleteOh Natasha isn't doing anything wrong by stating her desire for the Duggar s to have a show. She has probably been watching the Duggar s since it first started so she probably feels like she lost a friend. Natasha if you are reading this you can find all their shows online and Jessa usually films a Christmas holiday video every year too and posts it online. Ellie has all the updates also that you can see. Who knows Natasha maybe in the future they will have another show, you never know.
DeleteAnon 5:08. I wish someone would "explain" it to me. I'm not sure what the explanation is.
DeleteI enjoy your enthusiasm and love for the Duggar family, Natasha! You have every right to express yourself and share your thoughts and hopes. You are a loyal fan.
Delete7:43, it's not really my business to explain her situation, we'll just say it's a special situation and people should back off.
DeleteOn which post did Natasha's mom chime in?
Delete10:28, it was a while ago. Feel free to go back and read every post if you really want to know.
DeleteThank you so much for sharing. What a beautiful wedding. The bride looked stunning.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteAww....looks like it was a beautiful day 😊
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the photo I automatically thought they were announcing a pregnancy, but I still think the pregnannouncement will be coming soon because we haven't heard from them for so long I think this wedding highlight is to prepare us to celebrate what a marriage brings which is children, hope they keep us posted on pregnancy photos too until baby's born, ha I'm acting like I'm sure she's pregnant, well she is bound to be now it's well overdue!
ReplyDeleteNobody is bound to be pregnant
DeleteIt's all in God's timing if they aren't using some kind of method of birth control. Nothing is overdue or on time. Leave them alone. It's their business, not yours otherwise anyone on social media be questioned and harassed the way they are.
Delete9:13 - Duggars kinda are lol … the sibling who took the longest to get pregnant after marriage was jinger and she only took 11 months
DeleteWhy overdue? What if they chose to wait? What if they have trouble getting pregnant. Marriage doesn't always guarentee a pregnancy or a child. And it's a good thing they live marriage life for now with just the 2 of them instead of hopping into life with children in it.
Delete@1:51 I think it's poor form to be haranguing about pregnancy for anyone, including a Duggar. If or when a couple chooses to start a family is no one else's business and they shouldn't be relegated to being a reproduction side show. (Yes, I understand that the TV show basically did this for JimBob and Michelle.). Sometimes people have trouble with infertility and pressure from outside busybodies does not help matters at all.
DeleteYeah. I think a pregnancy announcement is in the offing. Probably a few others as well.
Delete@9:41am,yes,probably Jill is going to try again and as for Joy, I've seen various photos of her lately including Nathan's wedding and she is wearing a loose dress in all of them accompanied by a blissful smile.
Delete5:20 PM - What in the world? o_o
DeleteLoose dresses are also a go-to when you've had several babies and your stomach ain't what it used to be.
DeleteWell that is their business.
DeleteJust watched the video & even though I knew Justin in particular is very young, just watching him standing at the alter brought it home to me how young he still is. He doesn’t even look 18. Lovely wedding & I hope more than anything they are happy together. However, I can’t help think the person you are at 18 & the person you become by 25 are very different & often you want completely different things as you get older. Let’s hope this very young couple grow together in their dreams & aspirations & not apart.
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't that encouraging. I hope you do that to people who are 25-30 who are getting married. People change even then too that wound up getting divorces.
DeleteI know Fuzzy...they should be dating right now not keeping house and awaiting babies. I worry about the Duggar kids who, although they're around others at different events, never have time alone to get to know someone before they are saying what feels like premature vows. You need to be with someone for at least a year (two is better) and through a few trying times to know what the person is really made of and if it's for you. You know what they say about marrying in haste.
DeleteI agree - he looked very young in this video. I have a 17 and a 19 year old boy, and I can't imagine either of them getting married at 18.
DeleteI think the Duggars, and probably others of their same branch of that faith, have all been taught to be resigned to stay with "the one God has chosen for you," no matter how much heartbreak that might bring later. Look at Anna... Personally, I couldn't live my life like that, so I'm glad I dated a lot of different types of boys/men before I married the best one for me, who I chose. I'm also glad I stayed single through college, because those years were the most carefree and fun ones I had, and I learned a lot about myself.
Delete10:09 The human brain isn't even fully developed until the age of 25 or so. Why get married at 18 when there's a whole lot of living and experiencing independence to do before you commit yourself to marriage?
Delete10:09 - when you are a mom, you worry about these things. It’s just natural. In this day and age, Justin is young. That doesn’t mean it won’t work. I’m sure they will be together forever. But still . . . We are allowed to take note and comment.
Delete12:49 PM - What works for you doesn't mean it works for other people. We are all called to do something different. I went to college too and I don't act better than anyone else. Sad part is I didn't even use what I learned, in fact I got a better paying job than what I originally went to college for... life is funny that way lol.
DeleteTotally agree Fuzzy. At 18 and 19 they should be in some type of school getting an education not married. Dating a variety of people to find out what they want in a partner. Add to the not being alone with that person before you marry and no divorce in their faith it could be a total train wreck. People should have fun before they get married. I look at myself at 18 and at 26 when I got married and I see how much I changed. So glad that I didn't marry the guy I was dating at 18. Fuzzy it is so nice to see you back again.
DeleteThere is no such thing as anyone "should be going to college". Everyone's journey is different.
DeleteWell, I for one wish I'd skipped dating until my husband came along and focused on other things. Dating a variety of people isn't always what it's cracked up to be.
DeleteEveryone's journey is different except if you're a Duggar and then your journeys are all the same. You know of any other family with a multitude of grown kids (are we up to 14 now?) who ALL chose to skip college educations?
Delete@7:57 But you would not be the person you were when you meet your husband.
Delete@5:18, not necessarily college, but some type of higher education, a trade school, beauty school something along those lines.@7:57 didn't you learn what you din't want in a husband? I'm @7:49 and I stand by what I said
DeleteI got married at 34 and am a different person 5 years later. So is my husband. I don’t think age matters because life always changes. Commitment is more important than age.
DeleteI met and dated my future hubby at 16 and we married at 18. We been together for 26 years now. Everyone is different and nobody should be putting anyone down for doing things differently than them.
DeleteNope, I still wouldn't choose to date any of them if I could go back and redo it.
Delete@9:14, education is NEVER a waste. And having gone to college, of course, does not mean you are better than someone that did not.
DeleteYou may not be working in the field you went to college for but so what? Many people end up in different fields. The skills you earn from your years in college (critical thinking, time management, team work, enhanced literacy...) all are transferrable to other fields. A college degree/diploma is only the first step for a life-long learner.
I don't think anyone is putting them down because of their age. I think a number of posters here are just concerned because everyone is different and matures at different rates. Yet, John David and Jana aside (and I think that's significant) and Jill (at 23), all of the other Duggar young adults seem to feel like they getting married under 21 is the only way to go. That idea, "ideal", or mindset is coming from somewhere. I think people are just worried that these decisions are born out of expectations or ideals and by the time the individuals involved realize it (having matured more over time), they're just going to be stuck (according to their culture). What you may be reading as disapproval is far more likely to be parental concern from the parent posters here or couples who are further along in life and know what real struggle and commitment mean.
DeleteI was married at 18 and we beem married for 30+ years. Y'all its not that deep. People have to be like this everytime a Duggar gets into a courtship and marriage. They always have to find something wrong.
DeleteDidn't we already see their wedding? Sort of like a rerun.
ReplyDeleteNo? This is the first time I've seen more than a few pictures.
DeleteWhat a perfect video of their day. I hope they will always be as happy as the day they married
ReplyDeleteHey guys, time to update your header. Fern Seewald and Jed & Katie & Baby #1 are missing.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for them. My husband and I got married just right out of high school. We been married for 35 years. I wish you all the happiness :)
ReplyDeleteLove when the jealous people come out to play in the blog posts. You all can never be happy for them. It's their choices and I pray that someone on your social media accounts add their opinion to your life every second they get. You are not perfect, nobody is and usually karma does come back to bite. Have a nice day ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, aren’t you the caretaker of peace and joy. I pray you find something less critical to do with your time and have a nice day, too.
Delete10:12 IMO, social media is proving to be a huge detriment for society in general. The revelations about Facebook and its role in creating the vast divide in our country is just one example. It gives too many social media warriors an enormous sense of power when they become "influencers" and master manipulators of how and what others think or believe, while they are laughing all the way to the bank.
DeleteAnon 8:54. I don't think we should blame social media for the deep divisions in our society. It may play a role but the problem is much deeper than that. People pretty much fall into two groups, those who can adapt and deal with change and those who feel threatened by it and resist change. The rapid pace of change going on now has exposed that to a much greater degree than in the past. Nothing more clearly illustrates the issue than this uproar over vaccine mandates. For decades our children have been required to have numerous vaccinations to attend school, workers with lots of public contact have been required to have numerous vaccinations and that has been done with little fuss or bother. But now that a new requirement comes into play there's all this angst, protests and quitting of jobs. I'm not sure how this will end up but it's a sore point with everyone right now.
DeleteI 100% agree. I hope they comment on their friends posts the way they judge and criticize them the way they do the Duggars.
DeleteOpting to have public (versus private only to friends & family) social media accounts is a purposeful choice. This family could live private lives but choose every day to thrust themselves into the public sphere. Attention is their business. Really, anybody commenting on them is doing them a favor, whether the remarks are flattering or not. Relevance is all that matters to modern-day reality tv types who are trying to monetize attention.
Delete6:09 PM - Having a public life like for example being a singer or actress still does not give anyone the right to talk bad and lie about them. People try to use it as a excuse and it does not work that way. Putting your life out there does not add the strings to get into their business and putting out assumptions unless they allow it. They only show and share part of their lives they want you to see. You really should no the difference.
DeleteAgree, 8:57. Gossiping and criticizing are bad behavior, period.
Delete@8:57 100%
DeleteIf you want to have a public life and you purposely choose that route, then the burden is heavily on you to live as a good example and not give anyone anything to gossip about or criticize. If that's too much for you to do, then you can choose to be private, although it won't be as lucrative. That's the trade.
Delete@9:47 AM - That is easier said than done because the media twists, lies and click baits. You can live the most perfect life and they will always find something even if they have to lie lol. Where have you been? Having a public life still does not give anyone the right to slam them about EVERYTHING they do. Otherwise that would happen to everyone on social media.
DeleteAgree, 9:47. Too many people go public, do bad things, and then are "shocked" or "hurt" when they get talked about. Well you know the solution.
DeleteLovely wedding. I am so happy for them. I like how people come on here to rain on the Duggar parade. Let me enlighten you all since you don't seem to get out much, a lot of people these days even when married later in their twenties or early thirties, they are still are not that very much mature and even up divorcing within a few years of marriage. So who are we to judge them to get married that young. Stop coming on here to do only one thing. I know you aren't serious.
ReplyDeleteI like how condescending people come on here to rain on the comment parade.
DeleteActually, you are misinformed. The stats are very clear. Those who wait till they are in the late twenties or thirties tend to have more stable marriages and have a much lower divorce rate. Most couples I know who married young (under 25), are no longer married in their 40s, 50s or 60s. Every couple I know who married in their 20s and early 30s are still married in their 60s and 70s.
Delete4:44 PM - Actually you very misinformed because you are only going by a certain percentage. Most people I know marriages lasted when they was married young versus the ones that got married late. That's my state. However, if you want to go by a full account of America, that's near 50-50.
DeleteMO- Awww- Another beautiful wedding! They make a cute couple... With such disruption in the Duggar family, it's nice to see a happy event. Looks like everyone was having fun. :o)
ReplyDeleteAn amazing & beautiful wedding!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that both Jed and Katey and Justin and Claire used the same film production company for their videos, Gabenator Films. Jed and Katey had two versions, a Highlight version about 5 minutes in length, and the full wedding about 26 min in length. This video for Justin and Claire is a Highlight version. A lot of the walking down the aisle was shortened. They did not play the original music but instead overlayed the vows with different music. I wonder if they are planning to publish a longer version as well, or if one was made, and it has been kept private within the family. I hope they publish a longer video like Jed and Katey. I would enjoy the actual music and original walking in as well. Whatever the case, it is beautifully done and rivals if not exceeds TLC's take on Duggar weddings.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Claire & Justin's Wedding Highlights. My two favorite parts were: 1. Justin's brothers throwing him in the air, and 2. Jackson catching Claire's bridal bouquet.
ReplyDeleteThey are sooo young, but such a beautiful wedding! Hope they're enjoying married life.
ReplyDeletenot to sound rude but i'm new to this christianity and reading the bible so please bear with me as i try to learn and understand. could someone please explain where i can find in the bible where god designed marriage? i'm not doubting that its in there, i honestly dont know how to look it up
ReplyDeleteclaire's dress was absolutely gorgeous and the color of the bridal party is one of my favoruite colours
Read the first few chapters of Genesis (the first book of the Bible).
DeleteThere is a lot of them. It's easy to Google.
Delete@12:42 am Bible.org and GotQuestions.org answer Biblical questions.
DeleteI hope it works out for him. but I would not let my son marry so young without getting some education where he could support his family. Jesus said go out into all the world and preach the good news. if you never go into the world how can you lead others to jesus.
ReplyDeleteGoing into the world can happen literally everywhere! You can lead your next-door neighbor to Jesus.
DeleteI agree that Justin was way too young to get married and that he would have benefitted greatly from an education and learning independence. As far as leading others to Jesus, I don't get that. There are countless faiths throughout the world, as well as people who are agnostic or atheist. My philosophy is that if someone is content with their beliefs and they are helped by them, it's not my place to convince them otherwise. Too many religions are under the misguided notion that they're right and everyone else is wrong. That's just not reasonable thinking.
DeleteYou can't control your kids forever. You don't need a education to find a good job.
Delete@9:09 Unless you have some extraordinary stroke of luck, you'll never earn as much with a job that doesn't require a degree, a license, or some sort of education. The burger joint might hire you, but the Fortune 500 company won't.
DeleteYou can find a well paying job without a college education these days. However, if your child wants to get married young, that's their decision. They can't hold mommy and daddy's hand the whole life. You have to let them grow up.
DeleteSo if your child wanted to marry young and they are of legal age, you are going to stop them from being happy? Let them live and learn. Marrying young doesn't always mean you'll fail just like going to college doesn't always mean you'll succeed just as marrying later in life doesn't mean it will last.
Delete@9:09 You are wrong. Now you even need high school to work full time in retail. List those "good" jobs you can have with an education.
DeleteMy mom and dad wanted me to go to college and I didn't because I am not going to be controlled on what career path I take. I got a job and was able to leave home and live on my own. I even got married to someone who they didn't approve of and guess what? We been married for 10 years and I haven't talked to my parents since so you have to be careful how you try to control your children.
DeleteAnon 7:12 Wow. How is wanting you to go to college being "controlling"? I think you have the wrong end of the stick here. Not speaking to your parents for ten years is a bad idea no matter what choices you made in life. You sound very angry and bitter and I'm not sure why.
Delete7:12 pm I am sorry you had to live with all the control, but I hope one day you and your parents will be able to work things out and start to develop a good relationship.
DeletePeople try to find reasons to argue to put attention on them and off the Duggar's. They crave this ya'll, why don't you see it? If you all want to go there, me and my husbands have amazing jobs and neither one of us went to college. We got a nice home and are able to afford 5 kids. The towns you all came from must be bad.
DeleteMy mom said the something about me and I married anyway. I still went to college but ended up regretting it because I found something better than what I originally planned on going to college for and my mom was upset with me. Due to this we are not on speaking terms. How I will raise my kids is I be proud of them even if they wanted to be a cashier at a grocery store or be a dog walker. I will never push my wants and ambitions on my children. It's what their dreams and ambitions are all about.
Delete@10:39 Being proud of your cashier child is lovely, but have you thought about what that career will do for them in the future? Can you see your child living comfortably in retirement and being able to take care of their health needs after spending life as a cashier? You have to think about the future, not just making ends meet week-to-week. Life is expensive and elder care is astronomical. I'm seeing my friends struggle with that, friends who never had well-paying jobs. The nursing homes that take you in on social security payments alone are...frightening. I don't want my child ever facing that as their only choice.
Delete@8:54 I been noticing that a lot too.
DeleteMy late husband had a college degree, I did not. I am now 66 getting his social security because it is more then mine. He has been gone for 21 years. I have worked outside the home all but 6 years of my adult life. I worked in retail and in an office. I also had a electrician in my house doing some work at $50.an hr. If you say getting some type of higher education isn't worth it, you're only lying to yourself. Also, retail work is hard on the body as you get older standing on your feet. @7:12 that's sad that you don't talk to your parents. My mum has been gone 11 years and I'd love to be able to talk to her. I talk to my dad whenever I can.
Delete12:26 AM - You are the one lying to yourself too. Nobody with a college education goes on here bragging about their degrees and telling other people to do what they did. I don't know one person that does that that has a college education.
Delete10:01 AM - My mom lived perfectly well on her own after my father died. I am so glad that I have a mother and father that did not push me to go to college, because that's what would had made them happy. Not me. I followed my dreams. Did you? These days it easy to plan out the future and my future is set.
Delete@3:37. I had to fight to get an education, leave home and support myself. My family thought it was a waste of time and money to educate a girl. Did I follow my dream? Yes, I did. I got an education because I KNEW it was my way out of poverty.
DeleteWould I be happy if my daughter or son worked as cashiers or dog walkers? It did not bother me when one of them worked in a coffee shop while looking for a more permanent position, after graduating from college. I knew it was ONLY temporary and it was. They had ambitions in life to do more than to work at an entrance-level job, for the rest of their working life.
These days it is NOT easy to plan out the future. The future economic situation is more uncertain as ever; especially in countries like the US. You might think your future is set but good luck with that.
An education is never wasted. There is no reason why someone cannot go to a community college, take some courses, and work on skills to help them live their dreams.
Hey, Justin, I am happy U 2 are super happy, I just hope U 2 have a wonderful peaceful life!!!! Love U 2!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere comes the college education people lol. I got married at 18 and still went to college. It's a choice and who are you to judge? I hope your children go the opposite way. Those type of controlling ways we bounce off your kids and let tell you, it's going to go south real quick. No matter how hard you pull someone in your direction, they are going to go the opposite.
ReplyDeleteThe Duggars aren't going to go to college after they get married because within weeks or months they're starting families and that is their focus. I think we all can "judge" this decision because society would be greatly affected if all 18 year olds decided to go the marriage route instead of going to college. We'd run out of degreed professionals. We'd be a country of SAHM's and underemployed men. They might be able to flip a house for us or sell us a used car, but who would take care of us when we were sick or do our dentistry?
DeleteThe only one in the Duggar extended family who went to college after marriage was Derick, so that is not something the Duggars are likely to ever do. If people didn't ever go to college, we'd be back in the horse-and-buggy 1800's, and the town barber would also be the town dentist! My kids knew that without college, they wouldn't stand a chance in the job market and would never be able to live comfortably. We saw this coming and saved for it since they were born. What scholarships didn't cover, we did, No student loan debt. It can be done. Each generation is supposed to be an improvement on the last.
DeleteBut Justin and Claire didn't go the opposite direction to what their parents thaught them,they are doing things like all their siblings,and the same for regular people they are going to go by what they grew up thinking was the norm ,no one is going to become like the Duggars,just because they had a show doesn't mean they will inspire people to be like them,unless they already are similar to them,they just watch the show out of curiosity.
DeleteRight! Every time a Duggar gets married they come out of the wood work talking about how they should get a education when they had jobs waiting for them outside of high school. And it's nobody's business what they do. They are the type of parents that will push their kids in college and waste a bunch of money forcing their child to go and gain a education they'll probably not even use. Forcing your child to do something past 18 implies there is some child abuse going on before that in my opinion.
DeleteWaste a bunch of money in college? My kid had 2 full scholarships, so much money given to him for free that he had to report it was income and pay taxes on it. Now he's in the software engineering business and pulling down close to half a million a year. I'd say college was not a waste at all and I don't think you should classify any college education that way. I'd like to see the Duggar kids get an honest education and job that their father didn't hand to them. That would build character.
Delete@5:13 It's everybody's business what the next generation is doing.
Delete@3:07, my children are also doing very well with their education. Since my husband and I were both high income earners, paying for their education was not a hardship. They also got scholarships. In my country, those who do not have the resources to attend post-secondary, there are scholarships and low-interest loans to help them.
Delete5:13 No one here has advocated forcing kids to go to college. It's a matter of parents' encouraging individual interests and goals, which the Duggars clearly don't do. None of the daughters have had careers or even a job to support themselves. They live at home until they find a husband. The guys all work for their dad in some capacity. You'd think that of all those kids, at least one would buck the trend and venture out on their own and do something different, which would include not depending on their dad for an income.
DeleteI know, it's nobody's business. Let Claire and him be happy. People need to stop acting like they know them and being controlled. Nobody knows what's going on.
Delete3:07 PM - They did have a honest education and there is nothing wrong with their father handing them a job. Fathers for generations fought their son trades and learning how to take care of their families. Let them live their life. It saddens me that you must of been pressured by strangers to do what they wanted you to do.
Delete@10:42 Exactly. These people have to be joking or sadly as you said they must of been pressured by strangers to do what they wanted too. They should think about cutting the strings and live happily.
DeleteDid Anna have the baby? Nobody is saying a word, if she did.
ReplyDeleteEllie: When is Anna due with baby #7? The last picture in the media was about a month ago and she looked like she was ready to go then. She must be due very soon.
ReplyDeleteI met my husband and got married 3 months later, its been almost 16 years. Why wait if you know. Both sets of my grandparents met and married in 3 months too and lasted over 63 years. My love is more mature but he still makes my heart stop❤️
ReplyDelete3:42 -in response to your remark, Jesus said He is the only way! John 14:6
ReplyDeleteJesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
Amen, sister.
DeleteSo, I don’t usually comment, but have to this time.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are young, but that doesn’t mean their marriage will not work out. My husband and I were married when my husband was 19. We started out young with a baby. Yes, we had our ups and downs, but worked on our marriage, and never lost respect for each other. On our 25th anniversary, we renewed our marriage vows,-it was so emotional for us and our 2 grown children. We just had our 37th anniversary and still have the love and respect for each other. Congratulations Claire and Justin.
Anonymous @ 10:35- I'm really glad your marriage worked out for you all and you still have live and respect for each other. It sounds like you both actually loved each other in the beginning. Many young marriages with a baby don't make it. That's not a slam, but both marriages and parenting take work to keep them healthy (and starting with both is a lot to take on). I'm so glad you both were committed to working on your marriage to keep that love and respect through the ups and down. Thank you for sharing and for being honest about the work involved-sounds like you were both were willing because you loved each other enough to do that. Congratulations on your 37th and many more!
DeleteThank you Anonymous @ 3:07pm Very well said and put!
ReplyDeleteThank all who addressed Natashas comment I also agree.
ReplyDeleteGood for Justin, finding a way out!
ReplyDeleteHow you do know he was stuck? Oh I know, you are just looking for attention.
DeleteA way out? He's not out of anything.
DeleteI think the OP meant a way out of Arkansas, out of the work-for-dad or getting set up by dad in a business mold, and creating some distance and space for he and his bride to build a life together for the two of them-not an endless round of family events & couple nights at the big house (actually leaving and cleaving).
DeleteBeautiful wedding -- beautiful bride. Loved the flowers and everything I saw. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI agree that wedding was beautiful. But I also agree that at 18 and 19 years old they were pushed into getting married at a young age. I hope you both enjoy your time together before you start having children. But in any case Congrats.
