Right before their wedding, Lauren and her parents have been invited to Jim Bob and Michelle's home to look at baby photos of the couple. Michelle says that it feels like yesterday that they are brought him home from the hospital. The whole family loves the Swansons and can't wait for the wedding.
Josiah is the eight of nineteen children while Lauren is the oldest of nine children. The couple has known each other since childhood but didn't become serious friends until Joseph and Kendra's wedding. They were friends for a few months before announcing their courtship in January 2018. The couple courted for about six weeks before announcing their engagement. The couple is about to celebrate their fourth month engagement.
The couple picked Lauren's father, Dwain Swanson, to officate the wedding. He admits that he has so many emotions wrapped in the wedding just before seeing his daughter in her dress.
Lauren asks her father if he is ready to marry them and says that he better do it. Lauren reveals that she is calm as can be as the wedding starts. The couple has a total of eight groomsmen and eight bridesmaids.
Groomsmens: Joseph, Austin, Jeremiah, Jedidiah, Jason, James and two others.
Bridesmaids: Jana, Kendra, Joy, Lauren Caldwell and four others. They had Jordyn-Grace serve as the flower girl.
Both mothers are walked down the aside with Josiah. They are both wearing stylish, pink gowns that are knee-length. The couple recite their wedding vows that they written themselves.
Because of past weddings and how they pranks with the wedding rings, Josiah and Lauren decide that Josiah keeps the rings. Lauren reveals that it was her idea for him to keep the rings.
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. Jason reveals that Josiah has been more glued to his phone and deodorant. He has noticed a lot of bills in that recently.

The Swansons have moved into Arkanasa from another state so Jana, Jessa, Joy and Kendra take Lauren out for dinner at the Marketplace. Lauren reveals that the girls have made them feel at home.
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 talks that Lauren is very health conscious which is funny because her brother has a stash of candy and she is always telling him that it's not good for him.
During dinner, Josiah joins the girls night out and asked Lauren an important question. He asked her to start a courtship and she says that she would love to and the newly courting couple enjoys a side hug.

Back in September 2017, Joseph and Kendra are enjoying their honeymoon in Greece. The couple arrives in Athens and head to their hotel which their view is incredible.

They managed to find all their ingredients for a greek salad with the help of the guide. The thing that the couple learned that there is no lettuce in the salad.
The couple heads to Greek island and Kendra talks about what she has learned about her husband that he is the deep sleeper and he can fall asleep pretty fast. He also likes to lick his plate when it's really good. Kendra has asked her husband not to do that in public. Joe reveals that he is not the only one that does it. Jessa showed her brother how to do it. Joseph reveals that his wife becomes more giggly when she is tired.
Joy reveals that Austin can't sleep and snuggle at the same time. The couple has adjusted to cuddle before going to sleep since he needs to be on his side. Jessa reveals that her husband is very meticulous. He is known to iron his t-shirts and jeans.
During their stay in Santorini, it was beautiful. The couple had a blast driving on the streets in a 4x4. Joseph reveals that the pedal was a little jumpy at times.
The couple heads to black sand beach to go paddle boarding which is harder than it looks. They fall a few times before getting a hang of it.
Before they travel back home, the couple heads to the Kendra town, which sits on a cliff.  They receive kisses to clebrate their honeymoon and also take part of the "Opa!" plate smashing tradition.
Down in Texas, it's date night for Jeremy and Jinger where they learned to draw portraits of each other. Jinger reveals that she was nervous about the class because she was sure that she was going to be outside of her comfort zone.
Jinger reveals that it's really great of a random person on Jeremy's painting but it doesn't look like her.

Ben makes a dinner for Jessa to celebrate their wedding anniversary. He also watches the boys while Jessa heads with Jana and Joy to get their nails done.
Joy is five months pregnant with her first child and enjoys feeling the baby kick. Austin talks about it slowly sinking in that he is about to be a dad.  When they hear the heartbeat it's wow when it's going to come, it will be fully theirs. Austin has only changed one diaper.
Ben has a hard time with cooking and keeping track of Henry. He is a mama's boy and misses her but when he falls asleep in his chair, Ben is happy. Jessa arrives home to enjoy the dinner.

12 Children vs 12 Grandchildren

As many of you know that Jeremy and Jinger are expecting the family's 12th grandchild which is a baby girl. We thought that it would be a wonderful idea to compare the Duggar Children to the Duggar Grandchildren and see how they lined up. Here are the line up:

When Jim Bob and Michelle had twelve children, they had seven boys and five girls.
1. Josh
2. Jana
3. John
4. Jill
5. Jessa
6. Jinger
7. Joseph
8. Josiah
9. Joy
10. Jeremiah
11. Jedidiah
12. Jason

Right now the family has eleven grandchildren with one the way due any day now. The family has two granddaughters with one on the way and nine grandsons.

1. Mackynzie
2. Michael
3. Marcus
4. Israel
5. Meredith
6. Spurgeon
7. Henry
8. Samuel
9. Mason
10. Garrett
11. Gideon
12. Baby Girl Vuolo

I wonder how the line up will be when the family has nineteen grandchildren. How do you think it will be?
