Duggar Family 'Counting On' News: Sneak Peek of Joy-Anna and Austin's Wedding
In a sneak peek of Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth's wedding, it was revealed that the couple paid no heed to one popular wedding tradition — the bride and groom not seeing each other prior to the wedding ceremony.

As revealed in the trailer, hours before the couple say their "I dos" before a church filled with family and close friends, Joy-Anna and Austin get cozy with each other as they both try to soak in their wedding, which they cannot seem to believe.
The pair is aware of the wedding taboo; nevertheless, they showed no care for it. Speaking to the people behind the camera of "Counting On," Joy-Anna's then husband-to-be said, "Joy and I just do things different and we needed to talk about some things and pray together and so we threw the tradition out the window."

It seems like the Forsyths are not as traditional as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. In a recent episode of "Counting On," the pair was spotted holding hands, probably by accident, but nonetheless, they did it while they were still dating. It is not the kind of dating etiquette that the Duggar parents approve of. But now that they are wed, they can do so as they please.
The latest season of "Counting On" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on TLC.
