Recap: A Bachelor No More part 1

Just a few days before their wedding, John and Abbie are making their unity candle and two candles for their moms. Jennifer is the chaperone and gets out asked what scent they should use, and she responds the laundry smell since she put it in her car. They chose lavender.

Abbie reveals that she was not looking for a husband but when she met John, she felt a change and it was the right thing. John reveals that he had been planning the engagement since the start of their courtship. The couple will be getting married after six months in the same church that they met.

They insisted the help of Jana and Laura DeMaise and the Dugggar brothers to pack up the supplies and head to the wedding site.  Jana says that they are taking extra items and thinks that they are moving somewhere for a year.

The Duggar siblings are asked if they would consider eloping. Jana reveals that at some point many of the couples have said that they should just elope. Jason reveals that he might consider. He figures that his bride would say no way. Jason also adds that it’s not the Duggar thing to eloped since they want all their friends to be there. Jedidiah says that almost all the girls want a ceremony so even if you do elope then you will have a ceremony later on.

The siblings get to the airplane hanger to decorate the reception. They create a flowy decoration made out of tablecloths. They say that they are using a redneck engineering which Austin explains that you just use whatever you have currently.

Jeremiah has an idea of putting a ladder on the forklift however Jana doesn’t think it is a good idea. The group leaves at one since they still need to decorate the church later on. Jedidiah reveals that it’s hard to work with each of their siblings since they have their own opinion.

Josiah and Lauren are practicing the song that they will be singing. Lauren gives an update on how she feels since losing their little one and all the memories that could have been made. Josiah and Lauren share that they are just trying to praise the Lord on how good he is even through they are going through a rough time. Lauren says that she has never seen someone serve their wife as much as Josiah has and wish that their baby would have seen what a wonderful daddy he could have been. Lauren was so weak and could not walk so Josiah carried his wife around.

The day before the wedding, the family heads down to Oklahoma. Jessa shares that whenever that they are back in the house, she morph back into the role as an older sister and makes sure that the girls have their dress shoes.

The bride and groom arrive at the rehearsal which goes perfectly. The man that is officiating the wedding is Bob Gray II, which is the pastor the church that John attends in Texas when he is there. John shares that they are ready to have their first kiss and it’s hard to wait but yet it’s not. After they are done rehearsing for the ceremony, there is still a lot to be done at the hanger. The light guys are taking more time to set up the lights than they originally expected which makes Jana stress out but she is able to keep her cool. Friends of the family have come to help.

** I had to break our recap into two parts because I still need to edit part 2 and make sure that it’s ready to go. It will be up tomorrow morning at 8am. **
