The 19 Kids and Counting star and his girlfriend, Claire Spivey, announced their engagement via Us Weekly in November: “There is nothing comparable to finding the one you were meant to spend your life with,” they said. “We know we have found that in each other.” Some folks were concerned that the young couple might be rushing into a commitment — Justin is 18, and Claire is just a year older — but parents Jim Bob and Michelle say that once their children reach adulthood, it’s up to them to decide when to wed (via In Touch Weekly). Since then, the couple’s Instagram accounts have been filled with signs that they’re together for better (taking a family snowboarding trip) or worse (Claire helped nurse Justin through the removal of his wisdom teeth).
The real registry has just one unusual item
Although a couple of followers found the whole idea odd (“You’re asking for stuff from strangers?”), others pointed out that it was a convenient way for the couple to get the word out to their large extended family. Indeed, about two-thirds of the gifts have already been spoken for.
The tabloid did appear to get one thing right: It seems “Justin D” and “Claire S” will be marrying on April 16.
