Another Duggar wedding is on the way and this time, it's 19-year-old Joy-Anna Duggar's.

She will be marrying Austin Forsyth, a long-time family friend, on Oct. 28, which also happens to be the Duggar teen's birthday. According to their wedding website, the highly-anticipated wedding will take place in her hometown of Springdale, Arkansas.

While the Duggar family has always been quite selective on what wedding details they are giving out to the public outside of their reality show, withholding information as much as possible before the event airs on a three-part special on TLC, the word is that the 19-year-old bride-to-be is going to continue the tradition of using a piece of her grandma Mary's wedding dress in her own wedding gown. According to InTouch Weekly, the tradition was3 started by Jill, her older sister, and was continued by her other sisters, Jessa and Jinger. The dress was also worn by their mother, Michelle, on her wedding day, which makes it even more special.

Duggar and Forsyth's engagement reportedly took place last March 2. Forsyth took the reality star horseback riding and when they reached a special spot, he got down on one knee and proposed. "We just got engaged! I'm so excited to be engaged to my best friend — Austin made it so romantic, it's amazing," Duggar shared, as reported by Us Weekly. They have known each other for about 15 years, but the two started courting only in November last year.

In the Feb. 27 episode of "Counting On," the viewers saw Forsyth asking the patriarch of the Duggar family, Jim, for permission to start a relationship with his daughter. "Over the years, I've been watching, and I really admire her heart for the Lord and her character," the young man told Duggar's father. "She's such a diligent worker. She gets all the younger siblings working. She's a good delegator — and, of course, her beauty."
