During the wedding, John and Abbie are caught sitting together. It looks like they will be the next couple to be married really soon.
The couple get prayed over by the parents and share their first kiss which is long and beautiful. After they stepped down, Josiah carries his new bride and runs out of the sanctuary.
Right before Josiah and Lauren announced their courtship, Jedidiah, Jeremiah and Jason talk about the change that they have noticed in Josiah since he started to have a closer friendship with Lauren.

Lauren reveals that she had a video chat with Josiah that was five hours long. Jessa reveals that her longest video chat only lasted an hour. She also reveals that they had longer phone conversations that were not chaperoned.

Jessa showed her brother how to do it. Joseph reveals that his wife becomes more giggly when she is tired.
