Uh oh, Joy-Anna Duggar’s family may not have all been on board for her becoming a teenage bride. While Joy may be a happy newlywed now, her family seemed a little apprehensive about even the possibility of her getting married so young, on a recent episode of Counting On. While the ever-growing bunch is known for its young brides, 19-year-old Joy was the first teenage Duggar girl to enter into a courtship.

"Joy is 19, so she's the youngest one of all of us girls so far to be in a courtship -- and now on the edge of an engagement," Jessa said during the episode, which later showed Austin asking Joy’s dad for his permission to wed his daughter. “I think it's sort of young, but she's very mature for her age and they've known each other for a long time. So I think she and Austin are ready for this next step whenever it comes about.”
