Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson Spill ALL Their Wedding Details

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson shocked the world to close out June.

After getting engaged in January, and then announcing a summer wedding date, and then pushing back that wedding date by six months…

… the reality stars went ahead and got married on Saturday at John Brown University Cathedral of the Ozarks in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

The vows-exchange came as a surprise to even the most ardent Duggar Family, considering Duggar and Swanson had not said very much in public of late about their plans to wed.

Could that be because Swanson is pregnant and this was a shotgun marriage?!?

Perhaps, but that"s obviously not a topic the newlyweds touched on in their first joint interview since becoming husband and wife.

“What a joy it is to be husband and wife,” the 18-year old and 21-year old told People Magazine very soon after getting married, adding:

“Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!”

Now, in the video above, Lauren and Josiah talk in even more detail about their big and blessed day.

“From walking down the aisle, to looking in his eyes and saying the vows was probably one of my favorite moments,” Lauren says in the above.

This video was filmed so shortly after the wedding that Lauren was still in her gown and Josiah was still in his tuxedo.

“What we’re looking forward to…is really spending time with each other as a couple, and really slowing down,” Josiah says in this same footage, adding:

“For me, I made a priority years ago, for my first year of marriage especially, to just slow down on as much work stuff as I can and really focus on our relationship with each other.”

Sounds like a life lesson everyone could and should heed.

Lauren wore a white cap sleeved bridal gown for the ceremony, which was actually officiated by her father.

Heart-shaped strawberry shortcake was served to the guests; while, the night before the wedding, the couple’s families had a "summer-style indoor cookout rehearsal dinner with burgers, hot dogs and sides on the menu," accoriding to People.

In the TLC-sponsored video featured here, Josiah teases that the “journey" to his and Lauren’s wedding day will be a major focus of the upcoming new season of Counting On.

This new season premieres on July 30.

The Bachelorette Recap: Man, Chris Sucks So Much!

Becca Kufrin finally lost it this week on The Bachelorette.

Did she read a few write-ups on the Internet about how she’s sort of boring and this season is a snooze? Maybe.

But it’s more that a couple men on the episode pissed Becca off to such a degree that she reacted by making an unprecedented decision…

Let’s start with the worst of them all: Chris.

He went into the group dead determined to make up for his behavior last week… only to get into an argument with Lincoln before the outing even got underway.

These suitors went at it over who would prevail on a two-on-one date, followed by Chris threatening Lincoln and accusing his foe of body-shaming him.

The two children men then actually debated each other at the Virginia capitol, as ABC gave them an actual platform to be all immature and combative.

Chris said Lincoln was all nasty, aggressive and offensive and added that Becca would be disgusted if she saw the guy he was when she wasn’t around.

Et tu, Lincoln?

At the after-party, Lincoln told Becca that he felt threatened by Chris and claimed Connor as well.

Chris – who was adamant he had done nothing wrong and was angry he kept having to defend himself – denied being emotionally abusive or physically threatening, yet Becca was irritated by the while situation and had to take some time to herself before she could speak to any of the other men.

She thought she was on this show to play footsie with potential husbands, not play mediator between petty self-cented douche canoes.

Later in the episode, a cocky Chris went to Becca’s hotel room, prepared to basically reboot their relationship.

The Bachelorette, though, was disturbed by how Chris had acted, not to mention the negative things she had heard about him.

As a result, she decided to send him home before the rose ceremony, labeling Chris a “very angry person” and explaining that he wasn’t the kind of guy with whom she wanted to spend her life.

And Chris responded with calm and understanding, right?

Nope: he proved Becca’s point by storming out and barely saying goodbye.

Elsewhere:

Becca got very personal with Jason, telling him about her dad’s death during their one-on-one date after he told her about his grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s.

Turns out, Becca’s father got sick when she was 14.

The doctors told him that he only had six months to live, but he managed to hold on for another five years.

Becca opened way up about watching her father take his last breath, and she felt like Jason could relate to how this experience made her appreciate her relationships in general, along with life itself.

Not surprisingly, Becca gave Jason a rose and noted that she could see herself ending up with him… FOREVER.

Meanwhile, Becca struggled to move past the events of the group date during her one-on-one date with Leo.

She just couldn’t push out of her mind how Chris and Lincoln had ruined everything with their rivalry.

However, once she talked to Leo about how she was feeling, the two had a decent time together.

With family also on his mind, Leo explained to Becca how he never felt good enough because he thought he let his father down, but she gave him a reason to keep his head raised high for at least another week, giving him a rose.

Still, in the end, Becca was too stressed out from the group date to even host a cocktail party.

She made the unusual choice to cancel this event — and then sent Lincoln and Connor packing during the rose ceremony.

Can you blame her?
