Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth are now married and doing well. When the couple got engaged, they ended up sharing a frontal hug, which is not part of what you normally do when you are a Duggar. Now the couple is speaking out about how they didn't even think about the cameras being there. They were just really in the moment and having a good time together.
What did Joy and Austin have to say?
In a preview for the season finale of "Counting On" that will air tonight, Joy and Austin talk about this hug and how the cameras were there to see it. After Austin proposed, Joy gave him a front hug.
Normally during courting, they only give side hugs. In an interview tonight, Austin says, "We’re humans and sometimes we don’t always abide perfectly by our rules. We try. That was a real hard try.” Most couples would share a kiss at this time, so Austin and Joy really did hold back from doing much. They didn't end up kissing until their wedding day just like the other Duggar couples.
Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth admits that she didn't even realize the camera guys were there. She thought that it was just them and a very special moment. This shows that they didn't take things way too far considering they thought they were alone. Austin said, "Those cameramen look like trees!" Of course, Austin was teasing, but they really did get lost in the moment and forgot about everything that was going on.
How is the happy couple now?
Joy and Austin are now married and enjoying their married life. They are able to do anything they want to do without worrying about breaking the rules. They had a long honeymoon together and are just enjoying their life together. The fans are curious to hear if they will end up having a baby before long, but as of right now, the couple is just enjoying their life together and being newlyweds.
The next Duggar to get married should be Joseph Duggar. He is already engaged to Kendra Caldwell and the couple seems really happy together. Rumors are that they will end up getting married this fall. The fans can't wait to see the wedding happen on "Counting On," which has already been renewed for another season on TLC.
