The Duggar family found fame in the early 2000s with TLC show 19 Kids and Counting. The series followed the lives of patriarch Jim Bob, his wife Michelle, and their 19 children.
Devout independent Christian Baptists who pride themselves on their conservative outlook, Jim Bob and Michelle are parents to 19 children, and all of their children have names which begin with the letter J; Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie.
Spin-off show Counting On launched in 2015, and follows the eldest children as they begin to marry and embark on their own lives as wives, husbands, mothers and fathers.
Here's a look back at the family's many weddings over the years…
