'Fundie' News - Courtships, Engagements, Marriages, Births


Turning-A-New-Leaf

Recommended Posts

Well, it seems that every time I visit a 'fundie' family website or close to it, there is always a new announcement, whether it be, a courtship, an engagement, a marriage, a pregnancy, etc.

-----

Not sure if there is a thread related to this at all, but maybe we could start a 'sticky' related to just courtships, engagements, marriages, birth announcements, etc. This will help to keep track of 'fundie' families and their connections. Also, it will help to have one link to see new announcements. Feel free to add announcements in the comments section.

-----

The list will start in the comments section as to keep the topic message short.

From the VF/Smorton crowd:

Cleve Morton and Lise Kendall are getting married in a little over a week, as are Prentiss Kendall and Chandler Allen.

Rachel and Wes Morton are pregnant.

Here is the list I initially posted in the topic message, and then decided to edit the topic message due to its length. Shorter topic message, easier to read.

----

Courtships

Wissmann Family - Rachel Wissmann announcement.

* She announced something about a 'budding' relationship with a man named Alan Busenitz, he is 10 years older. Did not define it as a courtship and has not commented about it, but said to look for more news in the next months to come.

Aaron Grady and Sara (?) - Courtship announcement.

* Aaron made an announcement in the church that they were courting, she also wears pants, few posts about Sara, sometime glimpses of her in pictures, never said her last name. Brother of Abby Beasely (formerly Abby Grady).

Zack Bates and Sarah Reith - Courtship announcement.

* Been courting for a while, no engagement announcement yet. Still waiting...

Betsy Castleberry - Broken courtship.

* Was courting the son of Mathew and Maranatha Chapman. (Can't remember his name). Started in 2010 and abruptly ended in Dec. 2010, they planned to get married around April 2011. News on family blog. No clear explanation.

Engagements

Priscilla Keller and David Waller - Engagement announcement.

* The Staddon Family announced the engagement on their family blog.

Susanna Keller and ? (Her boyfriend, an MMA fighter) - Engaged.

* Supposively engaged, don't think an announcement was made, she is probably disconnected somewhat from her family. Check out her Google Plus account, interesting pictures and comments. A lot has changed in the last 11 months, since she left home. Sister of Anna Duggar (formerly Anna Keller).

Expecting New Arrivals

Taylor and Abigail Otwell - Expecting 2nd baby.

* Not sure if Abigail is 'fundie' anymore, since it seems after she and Taylor were married, she didn't wear skirts for too much long afterward. Can't find any information about her family (formerly Abigail Sawyer).

Josiah and Abi Wissmann - Expecting 2nd baby.

* Not sure what to think of this relationship, as she also sometimes wears pants. Never hear about them in the family news, related blog updated very rarely, if at all.

Robert and Kendalyn Staddon - Expecting 1st baby.

* Was this a surprise, they were just married this past summer. Announcement on family blog.

Bethany and Dan Beasely - Expecting 2nd baby (1st baby miscarried).

* Recent announcement on her blog.

Caleb and Abby Beasely - Expecting 4th baby. (Dan Beasely's brother).

* This couple might actually catch up to The Duggar Family, no announcement made on their website, but sister Anna Beasely will talk about family news. This is still a very young couple, Abby is still young.

Evan and Jeannie Pederson - Expecting 1st baby.

* Announcement made on family blog and Jeannie news is rarely mentioned, but they recently moved closer to the Castleberry family, so maybe more news will be mentioned (formerly Jeannie Castleberry).

Aaron Grady and Sara (?) - Courtship announcement.

* Aaron made an announcement in the church that they were courting, she also wears pants, few posts about Sara, sometime glimpses of her in pictures, never said her last name. Brother of Abby Beasely (formerly Abby Grady).

Her name is actually Anna Rehm. I guess this relationship is not that surprising because the Gradys spend tons of time with the Rehms.

Here is my correction:

Aaron Grady and Anna, not Aaron Grady and Sara. The Grady's never mentioned Anna's last name.
