Bontragers/Bowers/Helferich 9: Oh Nos! Chelsey Married a Maxwell!


nelliebelle1197

Recommended Posts

The Bontragers have managed to marry most of their kids into just two families, the Bowers and the Helferich families. Chelsey is the rebel, having married John Maxwell, scion of the relatively sane Maxwell family. Yes, friends, we have a world in which Steve Maxwell is the more moderate patriarch....

@nelliebelle1197 How do I recognize if someone‘s verified?

Curious will pin a post to the top of the thread in which the poster first appears.  In this example, the poster is Beccy Mosser’s brother. He has been cut off from his sister by his awful BIL’s fanatical beliefs and checks in to see if anyone here knows anything.
 

We do get prolific posters who claim to know fundies and be parts of these groups or who claim to be former fundies. Some are, some aren’t. The truth usually outs itself. Longer term posters with fundie backgrounds are usually legit. I view newer ones with extreme caution. I have a minor Fundie background from attending a private skirts only IFB church and school for a while, just for the record. My experience was more from the curriculum and theological POV rather than the family Fundie one. 
 

It is weird but there are people who get something out of making up an alternate self and fooling people. I am fairly certain we have a couple active on here right now- we usually do, to be fair.  I am not saying this poster is a faker but the chances are 50/50 either way.

It is still possible another Bontrager-Bower wedding (or 2? Is there a teenbower for Rebecca?). Or 4 Duggar-Bontrager weddings (Elizabeth and Rebecca with Howlers and Johanna and Jennifer with the 2 single Bons). I don't wish any of these grooms to that girls, but FJ would implode if that happened!

There are lots of Bowers boys left for both Liz and Rebs (6 to be exact). But I hope they don’t match up. And there’s Susannah Helferich that’s single.

@nelliebelle1197 Mitchell is married to Brynn Leppert. She's also not a Bowers or Helferich.

Shhhh... it is no fun that way ;)

Do we know anything about Lepperts?

I don't think we know much. They are a local family and also attend Marion Avenue Baptist Church. It seems like they are a rather small family - 3 or 4 kids IIRC.

They are probably quite fundie, but at least they let Bryn a college out of state. A bible college, but better than nothing I guess.

Lolly Hale posted a picture with Rachel Craig. I’m really wondering what wedding they all attended over the weekend. All the Bontragers were there including Chelsy. Lolly and Rachel Craig were there. I am wondering if Celia Craig did secretly wed Joseph M (I can’t spell his last name). We know they were together at Christmas. Very curious.

Nothing is showing up on the Mieczkowski's ( my FOO is all Polish so am used to seeing names like theirs) or the Craig's IG.  What throws me off about Lolly's picture is Rachel doesn't appear to be wearing bridesmaid's apparel.  She looks like she is simply another guest, unless her sister had a less formal type wedding. I dunno.

Now what in the world is going on with Chelsy's eye makeup?  She's giving JillyRod a run for her money there.

It looks the woman next to Rachel (Lolly?) is wearing a bridesmaid dress.

The weird thing about Lolly is that she lives in Alaska. So she came all the way to the states to go to a wedding. That’s why I’m kind of wondering who got married. I thought most of the Hales and Buckinghams lived in Alaska too. Was it her husband or Sharia’s husband that is close with a Maxwell?

You know Alaska is part of the US, right?

Well, you phrased it like it was some impossible feat to come from Alaska to "the states" and there are, literally, tourists who come here and ask if we take "American" money. I don't know where you live so it just sounded like maybe you didn't know. For the record, there are flights from Anchorage (closest airport to where the Hales are at now, about an hour away) to Seattle multiple times a day. There are also daily flights to most major cities on the West Coast and Mountain regions. Yeah, there'd be layover, but it's not that difficult to imagine someone getting on a plane to go to a wedding in wherever it was. 

It's also not "weird" to live in Alaska. It's a place where people live.

You sure made a lot of assumptions based on my post. I don’t know why I’m bothering to explain. But I suppose I will. There is nothing weird about living in Alaska. The weird thing is that she traveled so far for a wedding. Meaning it must be someone she’s close to. It’s a horrible shame I didn’t say “contiguous states” because I guess that’s what started all this.

Purely speculative here on whose wedding occurred that Rachael Craig, Chelsy Maxwell, and Lolly Hale attended (in what appears to be bridal party attire). Lolly's maiden name is Buckingham.  She has a younger, mid-20's sister Lydia.  I found a Lydia Buckingham bridal registry with a wedding date of 3/26/21. That's all I've got but maybe someone else can verify.

Lydia Buckingham married David Harder - I think. Searching their names a Marion Ave. Baptist link comes up for a video, but the marriage was in Palmer, AK. Clicking the link doesn't tell you anything. It's a weird looking link, but it specifically says their names & Marion Ave Baptist Church. It's their FB page. I can't screen capture, just Google their names (do I sound like a Maxwell...."just Google it") and you'll maybe see the same link I am seeing.

That's not a church in Palmer, but they do have a link to a Bontrager Family Concert. Very odd. 

Do we know anything about the harder family?

It's the Bontrager's church, in Iowa. 

That's why the connection to even have a link is odd.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Happy International Women's Day!

      Humanity may have some work to do, to improve gender equality, but I was glad to hear that France has taken an important step to protect healthcare for women (and people of other genders who can get pregnant). 
      (The links are just to a UN page and the AP News.)
      Anyhow, love to y'all!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!

      Well, the rash is back with a vengeance. It never completely cleared up. I saw the derm yesterday and they did another swab and yup, raging infection again, still? It is definitely strep skin infection. I am getting so damn tired and run down from this. Who the f would immagine being hospitalized freaking TWICE for a rash?

      My niece is going to be a seat filler at this year's Academy Awards.  Seat fillers are asked to wear tuxedos regardless of sex/gender.  If you see a pretty young woman with very curly hair, it could be my niece.

      It’s not supposed to be mosquito season right now but I still appear to have been bitten twice on the side of my foot. Bastards. I know I shouldn’t scratch but it’s so tempting… 😑
