The recent two-hour special of TLC's was a treat for fans who were trying to find details about the May wedding of "Counting On" stars Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth. But some fans had also looked for signs that the bride was pregnant during the wedding.
The special showed the wedding details of Joy-Anna and Austin, from the moment the groom saw her bride in her wedding gown to some cute behind the scenes. But, apart from the celebration, people searched for indications that it was a shotgun wedding.
People reported that the couple had broken a tradition, when Joy-Anna, clad in her wedding dress, and Austin met just hours before they officially exchange their vows. The latter was hesitant to turn around when his wife-to-be walked the aisle. Some fans were quick to denounce their actions, saying that it was taboo for the groom to see her bride on her gown prior to the wedding.
A photo uploaded on the family's Facebook account was also inspected for signs of a bump, but unfortunately, the wedding bouquet covered her tummy. One user commented, "Never before seen pics like putting on Spanx to hide the fact she was already 2 months pregnant?" Other well-wishers, on the other hand, congratulated the newlyweds.
As previously reported, Joy-Anna and Austin were engaged for only three months before deciding to wed. After the couple's wedding in May, they flew to Geneva, Switzerland, for their honeymoon. The two then made an announcement in August that they were expecting a baby. "Every child is such a precious gift from God. I'm most looking forward to watching Austin as a dad and raising children together with him," Joy-Anna said.
"Counting On" airs every Monday at 9 p.m. EDT on TLC.
