However, what made the joint party even more memorable for the young Christian couple is being surrounded by family and friends. "[My favorite part] was definitely, of course, hanging out with everybody, but as far as the adventure, I think kayaking down the rapids," Duggar shared.
Duggar and Forsyth got engaged on March 2 after courting for over three months. They said that wedding planning has been going "great" so far, and Duggar credits her fiancé for all his output. "I think Austin's been helping out more than he ever thought he'd be," she said. "He's been a part of a lot of it."

They plan to get married in her hometown in Springdale, Arkansas, just like her elder siblings Jill Dillard, Jessa Seewald, and Jinger Vuolo.
