Here is Grant Balka and Maddie Ragle’s wedding website. https://www.theknot.com/us/grant-balka-and-maddie-ragle-jul-2022

Once again their story is like the same old fodder.  They meet at bible study/camp/conference.  Boy likes girl.  Girl ignores boy.  Boy pursues girl.  Girl eventually goes on a date and falls madly in love.  God guides their relationship. Usually there isn't a pandemic thrown in there though.  I am impressed that he is getting a masters and plans on being an accountant.

I was just thinking of the God Guiding Our Relationship and how Jesus has to be Front and Center in all marriages and all the hubby posts praising their Godly men and how they LURV Jesus.  If I was married to some guy that kept "Pointing me back to Jesus" it would be like a ring of hell.  I'd complain about something and he'd be all like,. "Well the bible states that..,".  Argh.  Gives me the willies to think about it and makes my blood boil.

Don’t forget the “dying to self” phase of fundie courtships, where one of the couple — usually the woman — tells herself to stop thinking about the potential partner after either The Lord or Daddy tells her to.

I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere yet; Maranatha and Matthew Chapman's daughter Lauren just announced her new relationship on her public Instagram. She seems to be happy and thriving in her new life, and I hope she is.

I guess someone new is Wearing her Purity. Did she leave pieces of her heart with her first husband? Is she even whole enough to date, with all the holes in her heart I mean.

Jer and Hannah are engaged. No surprise there. Late March wedding? 

I predicted that maybe the Josh conviction would have cooled this relationship off, but I guess the Wissman parents are just as off the rails as the Duggars for allowing this to proceed.

Oh they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they allowed two Duggars to marry into their family. They love the Duggars and share tons of the same beliefs.

All of them are off the rails, but Jeremiah isn’t responsible for his brother’s crimes.

I totally agree. But fundie parents always seem to care way more than mainstream parents who their kids are marrying and the type of family they are marrying into. Would they allow Hannah to marry into a family of atheists? Would they let her marry into a family of socialist left wingers?

I was updating the list and noticed that Grant and Maddie's website has two dates listed. May 21, 2022 and July 15, 2022. I'm guessing the May date is the correct one.

Or the "season of life" where the fundie maiden sits on a shelf, waiting for God to point Mr. Fundie Right in her direction.

All right people here’s a question for you, who on the list would genuinely surprise you if they got married this year? If Donald Staddon got married this year I would be shocked. Also if Anna or Esther Beasley got married this year that would also surprise me a lot.

Sarah Maxwell or an Arndt kidult.

Sarah Maxwell. Actually I would also be very disappointed. Because she’s finally tasting some freedom. She has her own place now. I would be so afraid a marriage would equal less freedom for her.

Can't narrow it down to just one, sorry.  I'd have to say any Arndt, Botkin, Staddon, or Mueller. Next would be Jana Duggar, Hannah Girotti, or any Maxwell daughter.  Finally, Jodavid Seppi, Jonathan Girotti, and Timothy Rodrigues.

I would also be genuinely surprised if we had an intermarriage between any of the abovementioned folks.

I think TRod is a hard sell to almost any poor girl or her family until/unless he is legitimately gainfully employed somehow.

I would be shocked if Jana marries. I wonder if she was discouraged during her late teens and early twenties from marrying by her parents with "you can do better" as they had such high status. My friend was raised in a strict well-to-do religious family. All four siblings were always told by parents their boyfriends/girlfriends weren't good enough. Now in their 50's and only one ever married. Looking at the boys/men on the list, I don't know. I keep changing my mind. Maybe some of these singles can pair off at the upcoming weddings.

Tiffany said their wedding is 114 days from now. Which is a Thursday. Weird.  Maybe they didn’t want the next day because it’s Friday the 13th.

I read that as Sarah Maxwell TO an Arndt kidult. Bring on the smelling salts!

https://www.theknot.com/us/jeremiah-duggar-and-hannah-wissmann-mar-2022 found this for Jer and Hannah could the date be right? I seem to remember the Duggar usually putting wrong dates on their registry and getting married before the registry date...that would be pretty soon even for them!

Yes, the Duggars seem to do that a lot. I would guess a wedding date earlier than the one listed.
