Abbie Burnett Melts Over John-David Duggar"s "Tender" Wedding Kiss

They do, folks.

Actually, correction: They already did.

This past Saturday, John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett completed their whirlwind romance by exchanging vows and getting married.

At 28 years old, John-David was ancient by the typical standards of Duggar children by the time they took this step, but he clearly was just waiting for the right person.

And then Burnett, a nurse who lives in Oklahoma, came along… and that was it.

The two (who did know each other a bit for years prior to getting all lovey dovey) started courting in June, got engaged in July and were husband and wife mere months later.

What was their wedding day like?

How did John-David feel upon seeing his bride-to-be walking down that aisle?

“It little surreal because I’ve dreamed about that ever since I met Abbie,” he said in a video the newlyweds filmed prior to even taking off their wedding attire.

In this same TLC-sponsored footage, Burnett said it was “wonderful” to be Duggar’s wife and added:

“Two of my favorite moments was the opening song, just welcoming in God’s presence and John’s tender kiss at the end.”

Whoa there, Abbie! Take it down a notch, will ya?!?

She actually won’t, and she really hasn’t ever since she and John-David confirmed their courtship.

The two were spotted holding hands and showing public displays of affection long before making their relationship legal, both of which are major no-no’s according to the heads of the Duggar cult, Jim Bob and Michelle.

Both Abbie and John-David have made it pretty clear just what they think of these Duggar courtship rules.

And Burnett continued to show a saucy side in this post-wedding interview with TLC cameras.

Toward the end, John-David said he and his wife had no real plans over the next few weeks aside from “serving God together and spending time together,” to which Abbie replied.”

“And the honeymoon.”

She said so with eyebrows raised, basically blurting out for all to hear:

WE’RE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH WILD AND CRAZY SEX DURING THIS VACATION!!!!

Said the couple to Us Weekly after getting hitched:

“We are so excited to be married!

“It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together.

“This is going to be an amazing journey!”

The official Duggar blog, meanwhile, used the nuptials as a chance to both congratulate Abbie and John-David — and also promote a couple programs on TLC.

This is what the blog entry read:

John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett are husband and wife!

They tied the knot this afternoon in Abbie’s home state of Oklahoma. This Duggar wedding is the 8th for Jim Bob and Michelle, and they now have an equal number of married daughters and sons

After a church ceremony, John and Abbie hosted their reception at an airplane hanger located at a regional airport. Guests were treated to a breakfast buffet.

Did the newlyweds leave in a getaway car or plane?

Find out in just a few weeks, when their wedding airs on TLC (Tuesday, November 27th, at 10pm ET/9pm CT).

On the 20th, the network will share a first look video. We will let you know when it’s available.

John-David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett: MARRIED!

John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett have finally gotten fo first base.

And now they’re prepared to go all the way…

… as husband and wife!

The couple, who started courting in June and announced their engagement a month later, went ahead and got married on Saturday, November 3.

They confirmed the exciting news to Us Weekly via a statement that reads:

“We are so excited to be married!

“It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together. 

“This is going to be an amazing journey!”

The Duggar family also made the nuptials public by writing a post titled “Husband and Wife!” on its official blog that includes this passage:

“We are overjoyed for the two of them to begin their married life together.  We know the Lord has brought them together and will use them to reach many people.

“We are so happy to be surrounded by family and friends and we thank you all for your prayers and support for John and Abbie.”

Many members of his famous family were afraid that John-David would never find a mate, but he seemed VERY into Abbie as soon as the pair made their relationship romantic.

We often heard the two were breaking Duggar courtship rules on the reg, snuggling and even kissing in public.

They just couldn’t keep their hands off each other, according to various reports.

Touching of pretty much any kind before marriage is forbidden by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

Now, however, nothing is off limits.

We’d have to imagine John-David and Abbie took full advantage of their new status on their wedding night, as they addded a section of their own in the aforementioned blog post.

“We are so excited to be married!” it reads.

“It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us.

“Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together. This is going to be an amazing journey!”

This bride and groom knew of each other for several years before they started courting, although Burnett said over the summer that she “really got connected” to Duggar when the TLC personality visited her native Oklahoma for a church event.

Abbie lives there and works there as a nurse.

In a network-sponsored video, meanwhile, Duggar and Burnett explained that they “fell in love very quickly,” saying together after agreeing to marry in July:

Wow! We are engaged! This feels even more real than before! It was a special moment to share together.

The proposal and the ‘YES’ really solidified that we want to spend the rest of our lives together.

One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life.

We are so thankful that He led us to one another.

And now He has led them into marriage.

In June, as you likely know, another Counting On family member, Joshiah Duggar, married Lauren Swanson in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

For more details on Duggar and Burnett’s big day, fans will be able can get a first look of the ceremony on November 20 on TLC GO.

And they can also tune in November 27 at 10/9c to see the wedding special on TLC.

Congrats to the newlyweds!

Tom Arnold"s Battery Claim Against Mark Burnett Rejected by Prosecutors

Tom Arnold has just been shut down by the L.A. City Attorney, who has just rejected his battery claim against “Survivor” and “The Voice” creator Mark Burnett. As we reported, Arnold claims Burnett attacked him at an Emmy party last month, as he was…

LAPD Contacting Celebs Who Witnessed Fight Between Tom Arnold, Mark Burnett

Mark Burnett Brawls with Tom Arnold at Pre-Emmys Party!

Who said pre-Emmy Awards parties were boring and pointless?

Okay, fine, no one has ever said much of anything when it comes to pre-Emmy Awards parties in general.

But Tom Arnold and Mark Burnett did what they could to change that on Sunday night.

According to multiple outlets, along with the participants themselves, Arnold got into a physical altercation with the reality show producer and his wife, Roma Downey, at a gathering in Los Angeles.

Both sides have their own stories pertaining to what transpired, but Arnold was the first to Tweet about it just after midnight, writing:

“Mark Burnett just went apes–t & choked me at this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain. I’m waiting for LAPD.”

About an hour later, however, Downey shared her own Twitter post and her own version of events.

“Got this bruise tonight when Tom Arnold tried to ambush my husband Mark and me at a charity event. Is your TV show worth it Tom?Please stop,” the actress wrote.

Downey is referring here to “The Hunt for the Trump Tapes,” a series on Viceland that premieres on Tuesday night and which centers on Arnold’s search for various tapes that would embarrass or shame President Donald Trump.

He has alleged in the past that tapes exist of Trump saying the N-Word during his time as Apprentice host — and that Burnett, as creator of that program, has helped bury them.

In response to Downey’s above accusation, Arnold Tweeted the following early this morning:

“Bullshit. You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psycho. I’m filing a police report & suing you for defamation.”

He reiterated this same threat on social media this afternoon:

“Sitting in West LAPD filing charges against your best bud Apprentice Outtakes Mark Burnett who lost his mind, attacked & chocked [sic] me last nite at Katzenberg’s Night Before The Emmy’s Party.

“Mark Burnett is scared:) #TrumpTapes.”

Many people out there think Arnold is only taking these steps to stir up publicity for his show.

A witness tells TMZ, for example, that Arnold attacked Burnett as soon as he saw the producer at the party.

Burnett then pushed Arnold back, after which Arnold ripped Burnett’s crucifix off his neck, breaking the item in the process.

The confrontation lasted about 30 seconds and everyone involved remained at the party afterward.

Earlier in the day, Arnold told Salon.com that he wanted to approach Burnett at the Emmys ceremony in a confrontational manner; he also called the reality show creator a “pussy.”

Arnold’s attorney, Marty Singer, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter today that the incident occurred.

He claimed Burnett “attacked” his client, but said little else of relevance.

Alyson Hannigan, who was also in attendance, Tweeted that the fight broke out in front of her. But she can’t say for sure who started it.

“I thought it was a joke until security jumped in!” she wrote, adding that Survivor host Jeff Probst tried to jump in and break it up.

Phew. At least Probst wasn’t hurt in the scuffle.

Because, let’s face it: No one cares about Burnett or Arnold. But if Jeff Probst got injured in any way?!?

We’d have a real problem on our hands.

Abbie Burnett and John David Duggar Wedding Date: Revealed!

Attention, Counting On fans:

You can stop sending Abbie Burnett and John David Duggar congratulations now on their engagement…

… and start sending them wedding gifts instead.

If you think you’ll be snagging an invite to their big day, that is.

Just a few weeks after Burnett and Duggar surprised followers by announcing their plans to marry, we think we now know the date on which they will exchange vows (and kiss for the first time ever).

A few astute Internet users have actually tracked down Abbie and John David’s wedding registery, which includes a few items at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

If you look at the top-left corner in the screen shot below, you’ll see that the “event” at which this gift is meant to be presented is…

… January 19, 2019!

That seems to be it. That appears to be the John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett wedding date.

Makes sense, right?

The couple got engaged in July and will now be getting hitched in January, which is just about the usual short period of time members of this famous family usually wait between proposal and wedding.

Duggar and Burnett confirmed to the world that they were courting back in late June.

Many fans had been concerned about John David because he’s ancient by Duggar standards (28 years old) and had not yet settled down with a mate.

But that has all changed now.

Abbie works as a nurse and lives in Oklahoma.

She says she “connected” with the reality star at a church event in her home state… and things blossomed from there.

“It’s been a wonderful journey thus far,” John David said back upon revealing his courtship to critics and supporters.

Fast forward just one month and Duggar and Burnett had the following to say:

“Wow! We are engaged! This feels even more real than before! It was a special moment to share together.

“The proposal and the ‘YES’ really solidified that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life.

“We are so thankful that He led us to one another. Now we need to start thinking about a wedding!”

Aside from going straight from courting to planning a wedding, Burnett and Duggar have been making headlines of late for breaking a ton of rules lately.

For example, they’ve been caught going on unchaperoned dates and even grabbing each other’s butts at Walmart.

They’ve also been skipping church and Abbie has been far more active on social media than is typically allowed within the confines of the Duggar family rules.

But whatever it takes to get John David married off and procreating, right?

How else will this cult keep its bloodline going?

John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett: We"re Engaged! Already!

Just one month after John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett announced to the world that they’re courting, this brand new couple has another exciting announcement to make.

Are you sitting down for it?

Are you ready?

Okay, here we go:

The twosome is engaged!!!!

The Counting On star and his bride-to-be took fans by surprise on Wednesday morning when they confirmed this existing piece of news via the official Duggar website.

“Wow! We are engaged! This feels even more real than before! It was a special moment to share together,” Duggar and Burnett said, adding in more detail:

“The proposal and the ‘YES’ really solidified that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. One of the most amazing things about following Christ is being able to trust Him to direct your path and lead your life.

“We are so thankful that He led us to one another. Now we need to start thinking about a wedding!”

Wow, huh? This sure was fast.

John David, of course, is 28 years old. So the very short period of time that has elapsed between his courtship of Burnett and his proposal does make some sense.

From the point of view of his family, that is.

Duggar is ancient by Duggar standards, meaning he’s already fallen way behind in terms of making babies and adding to the ever-growing number of children in this famous overall brood.

In late June, he and Burnett, who works as a nurse, told the world that they had fallen in love very quickly.

“It’s been a wonderful journey thus far,” John David said back then.

Since introducing Burnett to his fans and supporters, Duggar has been accusing of breaking relationship rules with her, as both halves of this couple are on social media (a Duggar family no-no) and both seem to touch each other a lot (a major Duggar family no-no).

But the heart wants what the heart wants… and so do the hands, we guess.

As for the engagement itself?

Duggar got down on one knee in an airplane hangar in front of a sign that reads “Abbie, Will You Marry Me?”

In a video shared online by TLC, the very happy pair then show off Burnett’s beautiful ring and explained how engagement is different from courtship.

Ready to take some notes, readers?

“Engagement is very different than a courtship because engagement actually says, ‘Okay, I’m committed to this person to marriage for life,’ ” says Duggar to the camera, adding:

“A courtship is more of a I’m getting to know this person with the idea of the possibility of marriage.

“But now it’s actually that commitment towards marriage.”

Okay. Got it!

While we wonder whether Duggar is just getting married to escape the clutches of his dad, John David has more to say on this topic.

“We’ve been ready for this step for a little while, but it was really just I had a lot of things I wanted to get done to make it really special,” said Duggar.

“I don’t know if I succeeded or not, but it was a lot of things.”

Oh, please, “he succeeded,” Burnett jumps in and says, going on to say she is “looking forward to planning a wedding so that we can get married!”

We’re so very happy for the couple.

We send them our congratulations on this engagement and on the impending pregnancy announcement that you just know is sure to follow any day now.

John David Duggar & Abbie Burnett: Breaking Courtship Rules Left and Right!

It’s only been a few weeks since the world learned that John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett are courting, and yet, to look at photos of the happy couple, you’d think it had been much longer.

For one thing, they seem much more comfortable with physical contact than any of their predecessors.

Yes, John David and Abbie are breaking courtship rules — and they don’t seem to care who knows it.

Not only are they openly flouting his parents’ rules regarding limited physical contact, JD and Abbie seem to be blazing their own trail in just about every other respect, as well.

For starters, they both have multiple social media accounts.

This may seem perfectly normal for two people in their late twenties, but for the Duggars, it’s virtually unheard of.

While it’s not a hard and fast rule, Duggars typically don’t join social media until they’re engaged.

Which, as far as we know, John David and Abbie are not.

So that’s out of the ordinary, to be sure … but it’s the content on those social media pages that really has fans scratching their heads.

For starters, Abbie wears pants.

Again, in most of the world, that’s perfectly normal behavior for a 26-year-old woman (or anyone else, for that matter) to engage in.

But if you’re a fan of the Duggar family, you know that women are forced to wear long skirts until they get married, at which time, their husband determines their dress code.

It’s not the most progressive system in the world, but for years, John David’s sisters have participated in it uncomplainingly.

But Abbie is not a Duggar — and it seems she has every intention of sending that message loud and clear.

In addition to embracing John David in public, being active on social media and wearing jeans, Abbie has broken perhaps the biggest Duggar rule of all.

Okay, the second biggest (as far as we know, she and JD are not engaging in premarital sex).

Yes, John David and Abbie have been skipping church.

Online sleuths pieced together info garnered from the couple’s social media pages and determined that they’re often off doing their own thing while the rest of the Duggars are at Sunday services.

And we probably don’t need to tell you that church is quite a big deal in Duggar Land.

It’s enough to make fans wonder — why are John David and Abbie allowed to get away with so much more than his siblings?

The answer seems to have much to do with age.

John David is 28, which means he’s beginning the courtship process much later than expected.

As such, it seems that he’s being allowed much more freedom than Josh and Josiah, the two previous Duggar males to enter relationships.

Of course, the real reason that John David is given so much leeway can be found on his birth certificate — but it has nothing to do with when he was born.

Yes, JD is a man, and as such, he isn’t bound by the ridiculous set of rules that confined his sisters for so long.

Jim Bob and Michelle might have preferred that John David had ended up with a more traditional courting partner, but at the end of the day, he’s male, which means they trust him to do what’s right.

John David Duggar Goes Rogue, Ditches Family: Is Abbie Grace Burnett a Bad Influence?!

It’s been two months since we first learned that John David Duggar is courting Abbie Grace Burnett.

Some were shocked by the news, others not so much.

While it’s true that JDD is well past the age when most Duggar men begin courting, many assumed that — like his twin sister Jana — John David had simply decided to remain single.

While such a decision would likely outrage his father, John David had rebelled against Jim Bob Duggar several times in the past and seems to have no problem breaking with family tradition.

And it seems that John may have found himself a fellow insurgent in Abbie.

Ever since the two of them began hooking up (which in the Duggars’ world means making eye contact and occasionally holding hands for the allowable period of 15 seconds), John David and Abbie Grace have been throwing caution to the wind and shocking the locals with their behavior.

And what exactly have they been up to?

Well put on your pearls and get ready to clutch ‘em folks, because these two ne’er do wells are up to no good, and they don’t care who knows it!

And by that we mean John David and Abbie have been breaking courtship rules and skipping church.

Now, the first offense might just mean that John David and Abbie have engaged in the sinful practice of front-hugging.

Usually, premarital hanky-panky of any kind is the worst thing any Duggar couple can be accused of, but the church-skipping might actually piss Jim Bob off worse.

Sources close to the family say John David has been AWOL at Sunday services on multiple occasions, and those who know him best say it’s all because of Abbie.

“John David has not been at church,” one insider tells Radar Online, adding that JDD hasn’t been himself since “Abbie showed up.”

“They’re always missing from church when they’ve started dating,” another insider confirms.

Those who follow the family closely know that this is just the latest example of Jim Bob and Michelle’s offspring rebelling against their parents.

There’s been much talk about which of the Duggar kids will be the first to “break free,” and it now it looks as though several of them already have.

Jinger Duggar has been wearing pants in defiance of the family dress code, and it seems she’s inspired some of her sisters to follow suit.

Josiah Duggar has been rebelling against Jim Bob for years, and now that he’s married, he can really set out on his own.

Will mild-mannered John David be the rest to defy his father?

We never would’ve expected it, but it seems he’s well on his way!

John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett: ALREADY Breaking Family Courting Rules?!?

John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett are wasting no time at all.

Falling in love and planning a family?

Sure, maybe. We guess.

But we mean it more along these lines:

John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett are wasting no time at all… in breaking family courtship rules. Uh-oh!

As any celebrity gossip follower likely know well, the Duggars are a rather strict family.

We don’t mean this as a statement of judgment, just a statement of fact: Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have put strong guidelines into place for their loved ones.

These include making a relationship official via a courtship announcement, such as the one John David and Abbie made last week; along with requirements that you cannot kiss before marriage and even cannot go anywhere while courting without a chaperone.

And one source now claims that this new couple managed to break BOTH these rules after just a few days of courting.

The Facebook group titled “Duggar Family News: Life is not all pickles and hairspray” has shared multiple photos on its account of Duggar and Burnett taking a trip last Tuesday to Walmart.

This was the same day on which they announced their courtship.

According to an onlooker, John David and Abbie were NOT accompanied by a chaperone, for starters.

But… wait! It gets even more scandalous:

“My source also says that it looked like John grabbed Abbie’s ass before he noticed there were other shoppers around and moved just before this photo was taken,” reads the controversial post on this side, adding:

“My source also says he whispered to Abbie after he walked past a lesbian couple. Doesn’t Jesus condemn whispering? It’s rude!”

(NOTE: Does Jesus condemn whispering? We’re actually asking.)

John David has often been seen as one of the more rebellious of Jim Bob and Michelle’s children.

There’s even been talk that he may be the first relative to simply walk away from reality television.

We can’t verify that rumor just yet, but we can say that this relationship is serious enough that John David and Abbie have opened both a Twitter account and an Instagram account.

The first two photos in this article are taken from the latter.

“The Razorbacks lost, but I’m still feeling like a winner!” John David wrote as the caption to the second picture above; it has already been Liked over 21,000 times.

Fans, meanwhile, seem unconcerned about John David and Abbie’s possible rule-breaking.

They’re just happy the 28-year old has finally found love.

“So happy you found your girl, John David! You guys seem like such a great fit… she’s everything I thought your girl would be,” wrote one Instagram user, whole anothed added

“John, you have such a big smile these days! You and Abbie make a cute couple.”

Burnett lives in Oklahoma and works as a nurse.

And her potential in-laws seem pretty psyched that she’s in their son’s life.

“John David brings our hearts so much joy and we’ve watched him faithfully pray, wait, and trust God for the right girl to come along!” said Jim Bob and Michelle in a statement, adding:

“Now, a beautiful relationship has blossomed between the two of them. We can’t wait to see what the Lord will do in the future.”

John David Duggar Introduces the World to Abbie Burnett

Here she is, folks!

Earlier this week, John David Duggar confirmed the very exciting news that he"s officially courting Abbie Burnett.

We learned from the couple that Abbie is 26 years old; that shw rosk as a nurse; and that she lives in Oklahoma.

She also comes from her own rather large family (she has at least seven siblings) and that she got to know Duggar well during a church event for which he flew to her native state.

“Abbie and I are just so excited," John Duggar said in his typically reserved fashion while initially publicizing this romance to Us Weekly.

But in the video above, which John David and Abbie recorded for TLC, the burgeoning couple reveals a little more about itself and how they arrived at this point in their relationship.

"We"re in a courtship," Abbie says after John David introduces her to viewers, with Duggar trying very hard to smile while explaining that the two "fell in love very quickly."

"It"s been a wonderful journey thus far, and we"re taking the next step," John David adds.

We can"t say he sounds overly psyched about the whole thing while speaking, but it"s probably sort of awkward to make these videos for the network.

Abbie, meanwhile, chalks up their courtship to "a lot of prayer, a lot of counsel [and] a lot of time together," not making it sound as if there was any pressure on her and John David to get together at all.

They then conclude this interview by encouraging folks to watch Counting On.

Just how serious is the relationship?

It prompted Anna Duggar to break her social media silence;  and it has already led to the creation of a joint Twitter handle, @johnandabbie.

"God is so good!" John David and Abbie wrote as a caption to the following photo of themselves for their first, and so far only, post.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, meanwhile, are understandably pumped that their 28-year old son has finally found love.

"We are so excited to announce the courtship of John David and Abbie!" they said in a statement on the family"s website, adding:

John David brings our hearts so much joy and we"ve watched him faithfully pray, wait, and trust God for the right girl to come along! Now, a beautiful relationship has blossomed between the two of them.

We can"t wait to see what the Lord will do in the future.

John-David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett: They... Are... Courting!

John-David Duggar has apparently come out of the closet.

No, not like that.

You do know which famous family he’s a part of, right?

Last summer, though, we EXCLUSIVELY reported that John-David was involved in a secret courtship.

That may or may not have been the case at the time.

But now this Counting On cast member has gone public with a verified courtship, confirming to Us Weekly that he has taken this very, very serious step with Abbie Grace Burnett.

“Abbie and I are just so excited, we’ve known of each other for several years,” the 28-year-old told the aforementioned tabloid of this relationship, adding:

“We fell in love very quickly and it’s been a wonderful journey thus far.”

This exciting piece of news comes about two years after Jinger Duggar sort of claimed that her brother was involved with some other woman, as questions about John-David’s love life have been plaguing the Internet for a long time now.

The guy is 28 years old after all.

That’s like retirement age for the Duggars in terms of courting, marrying and then having many babies.

He’s fallen way behind already!

This comes as little surprise to anyone familiar with John-David, as he’s considered the most quiet of almost all Duggars and perhaps the one least interested in the spotlight.

John-David is Michelle and Jim Bob’s second-oldest son, the twin brother of fan favorite Jana Duggar… yet you probably know very little about him.

He works as a pilot, firefighter and sheriff’s deputy and he sometimes clashes with his conversation/controlling father.

There’s even been talk that Duggar may walk away from reality television entirely!

Abbie, who is 26, says the following to Us Weekly about when her love first bloomed for this reluctant TLC cast member:

“John flew in for a church event here in Oklahoma where I’m from. We really got connected then.”

Well… okay then!

We see that she is a woman of few words. No wonder these two get along so well!

According to the now-defunct BurnettFamily10 blog that was once run by Burnett’s family, Abbie had seven siblings as of 2010, including a brother whose hyphenated name is strikingly similar to that of her future husband.

On the archived “About” section of this since-deleted blog, her siblings are listed as John-Clay, Hannah, Caleb, Charity, twins Maggie and Carinna and Benjamin.

And according to the TLC website, Abbie works as a nurse, which makes her a perfect match for volunteer first responder John-David.

She also resides in Oklahoma, while John-David lives in Arkansas with his family. We wonder where they will live if they get married.

“Big news! #JohnDavidDuggar has a special someone,” wrote TLC on its official Instagram account this week, adding as a tease:

“Visit TLCme.com to meet the happy couple, and learn more about #AbbieBurnett.”

Wow. She has her own hashtag. This really must be serious!

John-David one quipped that he’ll be a “bachelor until the rapture,” so he truly must have intense feelings for Abbie. Or he must feel intense pressure from his loved ones.

Either way… best of luck to the new and official couple!
