The Duggars are very busy as of late when Derick propose to Jill. They started to planned her wedding. The announcement was made this morning by the duggar family. The family shared the details with ABC News this morning.
Like every man should do is asked for the father's blessing before asking for the daughter's hand in marriage. Derick went to Jim Bob and asked for his daughter's hand in marriage. Derick took Jill out after writing a song for her.
Derick revealed that they went on a lunch date at a Mexican restaurant and went to the park where a man said that he had a song for them.
Jill reveals that after her father introduced her with Derick. They spent many hours talking and texting while they were 8,000 miles away. Jill was so excited to finally meet him in Nepal. They knew within days of meeting that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.
Jill knew the minute that the line in the song that Derick had arranged it and knew that he had something planned.
"He said, 'When God made you, he was thinking of me,' and then at the very end [of the song], he said something about, 'And I pray that you think that too, when God made you he was thinking of me,' and I was like, 'That sounds like a question!'" said Jill. "After that, Derick started saying a bunch of mushy stuff like, 'I love you so much,' and I don't remember everything!"
Derick got down on one knee and presented a ring he purchased in Israel.
Derick described the ring and the story behind it: "It's just a white gold band with a solitaire diamond: a round stone, .63 carats. Jill really likes Israel, and I'd always wanted to go to the Holy Land. ... [When I was there] I had it in my head that I wanted to get an engagement ring pretty soon, but I had no idea it would work out [this] perfectly!"
I love Derick's desire to follow God and to serve others," said Jill. "Derick is so romantic, and the proposal was perfect. We are incredibly happy and can't wait to share our courtship and engagement on 19 Kids and Counting. Next up, wedding planning!"
The wedding has been planned for this summer, and according to the couple, it's going to be big. They are looking forward to sharing their special moment with family and friends. Jill is currently working on invitations.
