He admits that he lost it for a moment and he's really not much of a crier. He totally surprises Kendra of his reaction.

Kendra's father is marrying them and asked for the ring. Josiah and a friend managed to pull off a big prank to have his friend deliever it.  Both Kendra and Joseph love it and knew that it fit Josiah really good since he has friends in the higher places.

When the wedding is almost over, the power goes out but lucky for them that they have enough candles already lit. The wedding party runs to the back and everyone goes to the candlelight reception. The power finally comes back on.

With the wedding just four days away the Duggar girls (Jana, Jessa, and Joy) make dinner for Jeremy's birthday. They are making spaghetti and meatballs along with salad. Joy shares that she is feeling good since she is in her second trimester. There is a little bump when the girls forget to add the herbs into the meatballs but lucky the sauce saved them.

Laura gathers everyone to make a scrapbook and the bench for the guests to sign them. Josiah is thankful to be on the bench project.

Cindy gathers the team to set up the church. Rehearsal gets underway and it takes a little bit of time trying to get the wedding party arranged on the stage.

Jinger is considering creating her own coffee blend and making a small business out of it. The couple buys a bean roaster to see if they can learn it. They roast two batches and has a taste test.

At Kendra's family home, the girls are getting ready for their overnight trip to Kentucky. Kendra says that the hard part of the trip is that she won't be able to see Joe for a few days.
The girls meet up with Michelle, Jana and Josie to head to the airport with John David. John will be flying them to their destination. Jana says that her twin brother is a good pilot but she likes her feet on the ground rather than in the air.
The next day, Joseph wakes up at four in the morning and heads to Kentucky to surprise Kendra for her birthday.
While in Kentucky, the girls head to Renee Miller's bridal shop to find the right dress. A small business own Ashley makes sketches of the dresses that Renee has prepared in order to give Kendra an idea of what she likes before trying on the gowns.
During the fitting, Joe and Kendra face time so he can wish Kendra a happy birthday. Kendra thinks that he is in Arkansas working but he is in the town.
Kendra tries the first dress and falls in love with the top but doesn't love the bottom because it's too simple for her taste. The second skirt has too many ruffles for her and the third one is more like a horse braid.
The fourth one is the one and has the prefect amount of pouf, volume, horse braid and everyone loves it inculding Kendra.
Kendra says that Miss Renee did an amazing job and she nailed finding the right dress for Kendra.
Kendra puts on the veil and the tears start falling. Lauren says that her sister is her rock and is her best-friend. She loves Joe and Kendra together and they are perfect for each other.
While Kendra is finding the right dress, Joseph heads to Spoonful of Sugar to pick up the birthday cake for his bride. The cake that he picks has purple with two layers. The cake has a lot of ruffles. The bakery is right next door to the bridal shop so he has to be careful to make sure that the girls doesn't see him.
John has been hanging out all day and meets his brother at the Tomatoes and Flames shop which is right around the corner. John reveals that he did not go with the girls since he did not need one. The boys set up the pink tables cloths, candles and balloons.
The girls arrive at the pizza place and Kendra is so happy to see Joe standing inside of the door. They share a frontal hug. The couple reveals that they try to stick to side hugs but sometimes they forget and give out frontal hugs.

The group finds a mini golf course and team up for a couples match. Jeremy reveals that he doesn't like to lose because you play for a purpose and that is to win.
James and Seung end up winning up the game and Jeremy is not proud of his performance but is proud of his wife. Jinger performed better than he did. He adds that his wife is a natural at everything that she has put her hands on.

Recap: Spurgeon's first haircut

Jeremy and Jinger moved into their home and are getting ready to replace the shelves in Jeremy's office. The first step is to remove the old ones and put them out in the garage. The couple has a hard time getting them in the garage since they can't get them past one of the corners.

Jeremy and Jinger were asked what they have learned about working together in marriage and they said that their personalities get along well but there has been some disagreements. Jeremy has come to learn that she is right and she is the boss.

The next morning, their painter arrives and helps them take out the shelf in about five minutes. The new shelves are put in and Jeremy is so happy.

Over at Ben and Jessa's home, Jessa is giving her husband a hair cut. Jessa learned how to cut hair and became the Duggar family unofficial barber for the boys in the family. Her skills have gotten better since than. Next it's time for Spurgeon to get his first haircut. Ben holds him and lets him watch a cartoon while Jessa cuts his hair. She is a little sentimental about the curls but is tired of having people thinking that Spurgeon is a girl.

Jessa reveals that Henry has had a little bit of trouble with eczema and digestion issues. To get him from scratching at his head, he wears socks on his hands. Jessa has cut out gluten, dairy, corn, nuts from her diet to hope to figure out what troubles his stomach.

Joseph and Kendra are ready to get the groomsemen ready for the wedding. They invite Jessa to come and help them. They ended up picking navy suits with blush pink ties. Kendra shares that she is a little bit overwhelmed with all the details since she is the first of the Caldwell children to get married. Jedidiah reveals that they were excited to come along and look at ties. He was joking when he said that.

Over at the Forsyth's, the couple is still getting used to living in the RV since their house is still being worked on. The couple decides to set up a table and eat in the room that will be the kitchen.

Everyone gathers at the big house for a fun day in the water. The highlight is the family's slip-and-slide that they have done every summer. They had a lot of fun during the day.
