Having wedding receptions and other parties at “fire houses” is fairly common in some regions - maybe Pennsylvania and New Jersey?

I saw a list once of ways you know you're from Pennsylvania. One was "the phrase 'firehouse wedding reception' sounds perfectly normal to you"!

That’s an engagement ring, not a wedding ring. And it’s from Tiffany’s!! Way to class things up, Jed!

Haha! My mistake  In Sweden, engagement rings are more plain, and usually both the bride and groom to be has one. Then the bride gets the more fancy ring with stones at the wedding. Different traditions.

Who were the kids in the wedding party?  I'm pretty sure that I recognized Ivy as the flower girl.  And may Joe's son?  There was a little boy and a little girl that sat with JB and M.  The others sat on the other side of the church.

Yup. Only in Pennsylvania it's 'fahr hall.' 🤣

I'm almost positive that most of the Duggar sons/in-laws have gotten rings at White's & Co (https://www.whitesandcompanyjewelry.com/) in NWA - it's been featured on the show, their boxes are that similar robin's egg blue that's not quite the Tiffany's trademark blue. Well-marketed, haha. Abbie's ring came out of a similar box, I remember FJ discussing whether it Tiffany ring was possible at the time as well.

I’m thinking maybe she chose them because those sisters weren’t bridesmaids. But their kids were in the wedding. Then that means Ruth was the only sister who wasn’t a BM or didn’t have a child in the wedding. However Ruth has 4 boys 4 and under so maybe it was for the best. She’s probably pretty busy.

I went to a wedding reception once in a volunteer fire department --not even a conference/meeting room--the actual garage (they parked the trucks outside for the event)

Were you at my son's wedding reception?  The wedding was in town, then the bridal couple rode on top of the fire engine 15 miles to the firehouse where the ladies' auxiliary threw the reception.  My son chose to grow up with his father after we divorced, and theirs was a small-town life.  He thrived, and we stayed close, but his wedding was something my daughter and I still talk about with wide eyes.  Sad note, both bride and groom passed away far too young, from congenital conditions.

ETA:  After seeing locations for other fire hall receptions, this one was in a Southern state.

So uh, speaking of So Nosy...

Congenital conditions known in advance (e.g. CF) or congenital conditions that they didn't find out about until later (e.g. weak heart valve)?

I just ask because if it's the former, as a fellow chronically sick person (though thankfully not that severe) those are always heartbreakingly my favorite weddings. Being sick is so isolating, the fact that they had a best friend that both loved them deeply and completely understood everything they were going through is everything.

Regardless, sending bundles of good energy to both you and them ❤️

I have not seen Ruth on photos neither her boys. I don't think she attended. She hasn't posted anything since Jan 19th.

I’m pretty sure Ruth attended the dress up bachelorette party but didn’t post about it. She may just be on a posting break.

She shared an AirB&B with Rachel. She was in Racehl's stories.

When we lived in PA our voting place was at a fire station. #1 was 3 at the time and it was so fun to take him with us to vote because he was really into trucks at the time.

Alas no, the bridal couple didn't ride on an engine!

I live in western NY and I vote in a firehall, too!  I regularly see kids there looking at the trucks.

[JermajestyDuggar]

I vote at my kids’ elementary school. That’s why we always have big election days off. Because the schools are always voting places. I personally wish I’m we could just do more mail in voting. I usually do absentee but I wish they made it a little easier to do it. I swear voting should be easy for everyone.

Hmmm--we need a jewelry investigation.  The box texture looks like a current Tiffany's box: https://www.tiffany.com/world-of-tiffany/blue-box-story/ although, at least on my monitor, the color isn't correct.

I have a Tiffany ring (not humblebraggin', just saying) and the lining on the inside of the box is black, not white, but I can't say that they are all that way. My ring box also has a smooth texture, not that pebbly look the boxes seem to have know.

Believe of not, there is a lot of used Tiffany & Co. packaging for sale on Ebay and Etsy!

Hannah saved stories under „wedding“ I think there was one story where they went her ring resized at White‘s & Co.

The countriest wedding I’ve ever witnessed was an outdoor wedding where everyone sat on hay bales and the bride arrived on a fire truck since the groom was a firefighter. And then they had a bunch of bouncy houses and stuff in a field during the reception. The food was bbq. I don’t know if you can get any more country than that. Fun stuff.

How about a hunting themed wedding with the bridesmaids in orange with camo print shawls and the bride's train made of the camo fabric? Reception in the bride's step-dad's barn with deer and pheasant themed decor.

I'm in central NY. Most of our voting locations are church halls. I always feel weird going in after growing up Catholic lol. God's like "oh there she is again, nice to see you once every 2 years to vote."

My sister in laws wedding was half hunting themed. She had no camo on her dress and we bridesmaids wore burgundy colored gowns the groomsmen wore camo vests, the groom had a camo vest and accessories. The grooms cake was camo themed as well.

This was a cousin. The theme wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that the bride was in a same sex relationship a year earlier. Her mother got her suitably churched and they prayed the gay away and found a groom.

There used to be a topic discussing all the different Duggar weddings and dresses, but I can’t find it.

It’s been awhile since I’ve ranked the dresses/wedding looks, I guess with the show being done there are less pictures online to go by. I don’t imagine my rankings have changed much, as some of the dresses are just a white blur of full skirts and cap sleeves, but I’ve got some thoughts.

I’m glad Hannah had a full sheer sleeve, and not sheer/lace over short (like Katey). I think the sheer over short sleeve is less flattering. The application of beads/sparkles is kind of cute and quirky in a modern way, and I like that it doesn’t look like a heavily altered modesty monstrosity, and she looks good in the dress. Also the bridesmaid dresses are a pretty colour (but I think Abbie’s bridesmaid dresses with the sparkly blush top are probably my favourite).

Claire’s dress was meh for me, but I like that she had a pretty bridal updo with flowers in her hair.

Katey’s dress is also meh. Like I said before, the short sleeved lining under the longer sleeves isn’t terribly flattering. Also a little more sheerness or contrast in the bodice lining would have made the lace stand out more, but I’m a worldly hussy who doesn’t care about modesty.
