James with the Bride and Groom

It has been almost two weeks since Justin Duggar married Claire Spivey. Very few photos of the event have been made public, but we did post a link to the video preview of the wedding. We will let you know when a full video is shared. Until then, we thought you would enjoy this picture of James with the bride and groom.

James and Jason, who are 16 months and two-and-a-half years older than Justin, were in the wedding party. And here's a fun fact: Claire's mom was her matron of honor. Isn't that sweet? Claire's aunt (her mom's sister) was in the wedding party, as well.

Claire Turns 20

What a big weekend it has been for Justin and Claire! They got married on Friday, and Claire turned 20 on Saturday. Years ago, February was one of the only months when the Duggars didn't have a birthday to celebrate. Now, there are five Duggar birthdays in February. It sure is exciting to see their family grow.

Justin's Oral Surgery

Over the years, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have become experts at guiding their children through wisdom tooth extraction. Fans have watched some of those moments on camera. On 18 Kids and Counting, "Duggars Under the Knife," which aired in June 2009, Jana Duggar and Jill Duggar had their wisdom teeth removed. A couple years later, Jessa Duggar and Jinger Duggar had the same surgery on 19 Kids and Counting "Duggar Dental Drama." We also posted a post-op video of Josiah in 2015.

The most recent Duggar to have this common dental procedure done was 18-year-old Justin. Thankfully, his fiance, Claire, was able to be in town to help him recover.

Justin Duggar, No. 14 in the Duggar family lineup, has had an eventful start to the week. Yesterday he celebrated his 18th birthday, and today he announced his engagement. He and Claire Spivey had been courting for 14 months. The link below is for a TLC video from the newly engaged couple.

Duggar #14 Turns 18

It won't be long before all of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's children have reached adulthood. Today is Justin's 18th birthday, and he's No. 14 in the Duggar family lineup. Perhaps the most exciting thing that has happened in Justin's life recently is his relationship with Claire Spivey, which was announced in September.

Justin's Girlfriend

Did you hear the big news that was announced today? Justin is in a relationship! He and Claire Spivey have known each other since last spring, and they both love God, the outdoors, and snowboarding.

Joy and the Boys

"She was always out there playing with us and having all kinds of fun."
-Jason Duggar

"She wasn't exactly the girly-girl that most of my other sisters were."
-Jeremiah Duggar

It's no secret that Joy-Anna Duggar (now Joy-Anna Forsyth) grew up as a tomboy. With two brothers directly above her in the family lineup and six below her, she spend a good portion of her childhood years playing with the boys. And even though she is 21 and married with a son, she still maintains a very close relationship with her brothers. That's why this new photo of "Joy and the boys" is so sweet.

For nostalgia, we have also included a Counting On video clip that aired around the time of Joy's wedding but contains old footage of Joy as a little girl. (The video is from 2017, so disregard the message at the end that says that Counting On airs on Monday nights.)

Silver Dollar Duggars

For the past two days, the Duggars have been enjoying the family atmosphere of Branson's Silver Dollar City. There are fun things to do for adults and children of all ages, which makes it a great outing for this super-sized family.

Wedding this Weekend

Joy-Anna Duggar and Carlin Bates, spring 2014

The Duggars are gearing up for a big wedding this weekend, and most of you know the couple that is getting hitched. We'll give you a hint: It's set to take place in Knoxville, Tennessee. That's right, Carlin Bates is marrying Evan Stewart this Saturday!

Two Duggars will be in the wedding. Joy-Anna (Duggar) Forsyth will be a bridesmaid, and Justin Duggar will be an usher. (Visit our Bates blog to view the full wedding party list. It's going to be a large one!)

Justin Through the Years

Justin Duggar 2018

It’s no secret that the Duggars love MarketPlace Grill, especially the chocolate mess sundaes. It only takes one glance at this dessert to tell why. They’re certainly not the healthiest things on the planet, but they sure are tasty.

Some of the Duggars select other restaurants for their birthday meals, but MarketPlace is a popular choice. We happen to have photos of Justin Duggar and his birthday chocolate mess from the past three years, and we thought it would be fun to share them. He sure has matured since his 14th birthday!

Duggar #14's Sweet 16

Today is Justin Duggar's 16th birthday! Due to technical difficulties, we were unable to make our usual collage, but below are a few photos of the birthday boy over the years. We don't have nearly as many pictures of him as we do of some of the other Duggars.

It's hard to believe that Justin wasn't quite two years old when the Duggars' first reality TV special, "14 Children and Pregnant Again," premiered. For the first part of the show, he is the youngest Duggar. Now, he has five younger siblings and 12 nieces and nephews. Happy 16th, Justin!

New Photos of James and Jer

We know you enjoy seeing updated photos of the Duggar siblings who aren't in the spotlight as much as some of the others. These snapshots of 16-year-old James and 19-year-old Jeremiah were taken at a wildlife park in Australia that the Duggars visited over the weekend.

Duggar Birthday Tradition

 Justin Duggar, November 2017

MarketPlace Grill is one of the Duggars' favorite places to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, first dates, and other milestones. Yesterday was Justin Duggar's golden birthday, and he chose to take part in a Duggar birthday tradition. Any guesses as to what that might be? (The picture above is a bit of a spoiler.)

As part of his 15th birthday celebration, Justin ordered the chocolate mess sundae at MarketPlace. Over the years, the Duggars have indulged in quite a few chocolate messes. Not only is it a Duggar favorite, but it's known throughout Arkansas as being one of the state's tastiest desserts. The glass is actually dipped in chocolate--what's not to love about that?

For those who have asked if the chocolate mess is "forced" on the Duggar kids or if they are "allowed" to choose a different means of celebration, we assure you that they are free to select a different restaurant. In fact, we have posted many photos of such birthday celebrates.

To see how Justin has changed this year, check out this photo of his 14th birthday chocolate mess:

Justin Duggar, November 2016

Two weeks ago, Spurgeon Seewald celebrated his second birthday with his first taste of chocolate mess. (Good excuse for Jessa and Ben to order their favorite dessert...after giving Spurgeon a few bites, of course.)

 Spurgeon Seewald, age 2

Spurgeon enjoyed his taste, although his reaction was a bit subdued. How many choco-holics do we have out there who think they would enjoy this dessert?

Duggar #14 Turns 15

Wishing Justin Duggar a very happy golden birthday! Hard to believe this little Duggar, who was only an infant when the family's first reality show aired, is already 15 years old.

Josh and Anna in Illinois

Yesterday afternoon, Josh and Anna Duggar and their two oldest kids, Mackynzie and Michael Duggar, flew up to Rockford, Illinois, with pilot John-David Duggar. Jim Bob Duggar, Josiah Duggar, and Justin Duggar also went along.

Yesterday evening, the group attended a Patch the Pirate show at North Love Baptist Church. Patch the Pirate is a series of children's audio recordings by Majesty Music that teaches character qualities and biblical truths. The Duggars have been long-time fans of Patch.

Anna will soon deliver her fifth child, a son.

Messages from the Duggar Brothers

We heard from Joy and Austin Forsyth's parents and Grandma Duggar, but there are still more video messages from other family members. Let's see what some of the Duggar brothers have to say to their sister and new brother-in-law.
