Jessa Duggars wedding, ice cream reception. ?

Not shocked about the sweet tea-- would have expected a dry reception. Still, I'm surprised they didn't host the guests. I know that's a lot, but it's not like TLC wouldn't have chipped in.

I think of we had that many guests...I'd opt for the cheapest route as well...that's a LOT of people...LOL!!

Sideshow attractions always bring in lots of people.

Haha I think m nailed it.

I'd be all over an ice cream reception, but you've gotta have more than that. Like maybe actual food....

They could have served popcorn...

I guess it's their version of a cake and punch reception. However, with her parents having a net worth of 3.5M dollars, I think it would have been nice to keep the guest list to a mere 400 and given them some real food (wonder if the ice cream was donated...anyone know the brand?).

Nope just sundaes. lol - Jills wedding, they at least had several dessert options, cakes, cookies cupcakes and punch (non-alcoholic, of course)/ i think they also served salty snacks from what i read.

The wedding episode has not even aired. Yesterday's show was just one of their initial discussions about planning and that is what SHE said she wanted. She's a bit flakey. Do we actually know that they only served ice cream? I highly doubt that was the only food served. Usually a bunch of the women get together and make tea sandwiches and finger foods for those weddings. I would be surprised if it was only ice cream.

JUST ice cream? Wow. What time of day was the wedding?

Nothing about the Duggar family should ever be considered okay or right. I'm not one to tell someone they can't do something, but they are just a rude family. What about all of the lactose-intolerant people there? They get nothing? What a terrible family. I don't give them any viewership.

Emily, they didnt show the wedding but people.com already has the details- I had to look... they say it was an Ice Cream sundae reception because Jessa doesnt like cake.

Ugh...I hate the Duggars. And thats only because of the mom.

I read that article as well and it says they had ice cream and brownies with toppings instead of a cake because Jessa doesn't like cake. I'm still not sure that was the ONLY food served at the reception. In any case, it was not over a meal time...it was a couple of hours in the afternoon. So that would be similar to "cake and punch" receptions which are common in some areas.

In families like theirs which are huge and their friends families are also huge, it common to have a large guest list and do finger foods in the afternoon, not serve a full meal.

This family gets an insane amount of attention, for reasons I haven't quite understood. I really don't see what makes them so special! Yes, they have lots and lots of children. Yes, they're Christians. Then one of said children gets married and the world loses it's mind!

I'm seriously just tired of hearing about them.

Religion aside, has that woman not seen a magazine, TV ad, or logged online since 1992? Change. your. hair.

I think the older sister only had ice cream floats and popcorn/pretzels as well. To be fair though, most of their friends are families with 10+ children (or so it seems, hence the huge guest list), so it's more like they're catering to kids who like popcorn and ice cream lol

Oooohhhhh her dress! So beautiful!

Everything about that show and that family repulses me. Sorry.

Celia, never apologize for being intelligent & sane.

And I'm sorry, no one has 1000 guests. That's ridiculous and ego centric. Oh. Like a reality show!
