Jill Duggar of "19 Kids and Counting" has reportedly set a wedding date to marry her fiancé Derick Dillard.

Duggar, 22, only just announced her engagement to Dillard, 25, on March 29 after it was revealed that they had begun a courtship. The couple, whose relationship started two years ago, is set to tie the knot this summer, on June 21.

Jill, who has 18 siblings and is the second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, told People: "Our story is so very unique. The first time we talked, he was in Japan, we met in Nepal, he spent time in India and Israel and then came back to Arkansas where he met my family. We have a very international story even though we live so close."

Jessa Duggar launches "Jessa Seewald" Instagram and Twitter accounts: Are they engaged?

In last month's season premiere of TLC's "19 Kids & Counting," viewers got to see accountant Derick begin a courtship with Jill. In Monday's episode of the reality show, dad Jim Bob said the two "are enjoying getting to know each other and recommending sermons to one another. It appears like a match made in heaven."

Jill's sister Jessa, 21, is also in a courtship with Ben Seewald, but no news of an engagement has surfaced as of yet.

The Duggars describe a courtship as "dating with a purpose", meaning that physical contact is restricted and there is no-hand holding or kissing. The courtship is also chaperoned by adults, with their contact being monitored by their parents.
