It does not matter the religion. The only wedding I went to that did not have an actual reception was at a local independent Baptist church. After the ceremony, the guests stood around in the church hall. I don't remember if there were munchies served. The whole thing lasted at most 2 hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-20770192560199927922018-04-01T12:00:19.923-05:002018-04-01T12:00:19.923-05:00Since these families claim to live quite modestly ...Since these families claim to live quite modestly and usually don't have much money, just how much has Kendra spent on teeth whitening procedures?

The Duggars don't seem to do a big wedding reception meal for all the guests which would not go down well here at all. Here after the wedding every guest is invited to the reception and has a sit down meal or buffet. Many people will invite more people in the evening for a dance/hoolie and there will be more food served. To keep people who have bought you a gift and dressed up and travelled to celebrate with you standing in a church hall, and only feed them nibbles, cupcakes, ice cream floats and cake is just poor form and a bit cheap. If you can't afford to look after your guests don't invite so many people, a small wedding can be just as special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-67446642867676971252018-03-30T05:13:55.053-05:002018-03-30T05:13:55.053-05:00Anon 4 am

I'm from Europe and different denomination and we don't have the tradition of rehearsal dinner. So we have a time of sharing at the reception, by both (bride's and groom's) families and friends. All of them usually sing, too.<br /> <br />Then there's a song by all friends (not just by the ones that share their memories) and a section called "free sharing" when anyone (who's not included in the family and friends part, like aunts, uncles, cousins, God-parents etc. - family means just parents and siblings and usually there's lots of siblings. I will soon attend a wedding where the bride has 16 siblings and the groom has 10 siblings.)<br /><br />There is lots of congregational singing in these weddings, too. Some weddings can have long breaks between different parts of the program when people just chat and meet old friends and make new ones. Of course there's good proper meal served and then coffee with treats and a big wedding cake. The only minus side is, the wedding can be very long. It can last up to 8 hours. But if you're used to it, you just go with the flow and enjoy it. That's what I'm going to do :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-26575979063384930792018-03-29T22:58:59.979-05:002018-03-29T22:58:59.979-05:00I LOVED seeing the bear hug!

A sunny side up baby is not a breech baby. As many others correctly said, a sunny side up baby (otherwise known as a poeterior baby) is born face up. A posterior baby often causes painful back labor, as the baby's bony spine presses on the mom's spine during contractions. Progress can also be slow because the baby is not in the ideal position for birth. Many posterior babies do turn before birth and are born in the correct face down, or anterior postition. A baby isn't truly a sunny side up baby unless it is born that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-50133879238034023112018-03-29T12:41:23.280-05:002018-03-29T12:41:23.280-05:00Well, while so far none of the Duggars have actual...Well, while so far none of the Duggars have actually given up the practice of Christianity, it seems fairly obvious that Jill and Jinger are attending (and in Jinger's case, supporting her husband in pastoring) churches that are very different from the churches the Duggar parents attend. And they're obviously not ostracized from the family for that. So I don't think that's what Joy was afraid of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-47197569952679380802018-03-29T12:33:15.863-05:002018-03-29T12:33:15.863-05:00Uh, Joy doesn't say any of that in this clip, ...Uh, Joy doesn't say any of that in this clip, that Joe encouraged her to just blindly follow their parents, and I don't recall her saying that in the show episode, either. She also left it very vague when she mentioned "my parents faith". <br /><br />So, is that "faith" as in the particular version of Christianity the Duggars follow? Or faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior? Or faith that there is any God at all? Or faith that God not only exists but actually cares and answers our prayers? "Faith" could mean any of these things.
