Well, this is something you don't see every day.
In fact, we can't remember the last time that the entire Duggar family posed for a photo!
The Duggars became reality stars because of their devotion to breeding.
In the early days, especially, that was their hook -- step right up and see the Amazing Fertile Woman and the Man Who Simply Refuses to Pull Out!
At this point, it seems abundantly clear that Jed Duggar-Katey Nakatsu are engaged.
Video of Jed's proposal leaked online, and we've seen pics of the couple posing with the ring,
It's been a month since Justin Duggar and Claire Spivey got married, and if their Instagram pages are any indication, these two are very much in the throes of wedded bliss.
There's nothing unusual about that, of course.
We always knew that one of the Duggar kids would one day rebel against Jim Bob's teachings and the ultra-conservative manner in which they were raised.
But for most of her life, Jill Duggar seemed like the least-likely candidate for such an uprising.
It's no surprise when a member of the Duggar family rushes into marriage with a person whom they've only been dating for a few months.
But in most cases, the offspring of Jim Bob and Michelle are at least legal adults when they enter the relationship that will eventually lead to a wedding and many, many children.
It's impossible to enter into a discussion about the Duggar family without mentioning the very particular set of religious beliefs and customs that dominate most of their waking hours.
The family's ultra-conservative views have been a top focal point for both fans and critics, with the former praising the Duggars for their piety, and the latter condemning them for their archaic views.
If you're hoping that the Duggar family might one day join the 21st century, we're afraid you're out of luck.
And if you're hoping that they'll eventually catch up with the ideals and customs of the 20th century -- well, you're gonna have to resign yourself to the fact that the progress will be very, very slow.
When you think of the Duggar family, affairs of the heart and romantic entanglements are probably not the first things that spring to mind.
While it's true that the Counting On clan has been involved in just about every type of scandal over the years, their courtships and resulting marriages are usually fairly straightforward, passion-free affairs.
When it comes to marriage and procreation, the members of the Duggar clan don't believe in wasting time.
The fertility cult freaky religious sect they belong to teaches that it's the sacred obligation of every Christian woman to have as many children as physically possible, so that they might one day outnumber the non-believers and rule the world.
From the very beginning of their time in the spotlight, the Duggars have been insistent about the fact that they're not like other reality TV families.
And of course, in many ways, they're right about that.
If you're a fan (or a critic) of the Duggar family, then you're probably aware of Jim Bob Duggar's feud with Derick Dillard.
Folks, this thing has been going on for well over a year, and it doesn't look as though it'll be letting up anytime soon.
If you know anything about the Duggars, you know that they're obsessed with sex.
That may sound like a strange thing to say about a family that's known for its strict courtship rules and its ultra-conservative brand of evangelical Christianity.
As card carrying members of Duggar Nation know, young Justin Duggar announced he is marrying Claire Spivey - and even formally joined her church - on his 18th birthday.
We've known for quite some time about the internal divisions within the Duggar clan.
But now, it seems that the ongoing war is about escalate in dramatic fashion.
Jim Bob Duggar just got put in his place.
By his very own sister.
When the Duggars first arrived on the reality TV scene back in 2008, they attracted the attention of curious viewers for two reasons:
They had a ton of kids, and they were very, very religious.
Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar aren't having a great couple weeks.
First, daughter Jill gave an in-depth interview to People Magazine in which she hurled her parents under the bus, alleging they stole money from her and controlled her life to an abnormal and unhealthy extent.
Anna Duggar could make many, many legitimate complaints about her in-laws.
After all, these are the people who protected Josh Duggar after he molested five young girls, a decision that led to her marrying a child molester.
