The latest episode of "Counting On" was a two-hour special on Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth's wedding. It also showed a snippet of Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell's relationship.

Joy-Anna and Austin were engaged three months prior to tying the knot in May. However, it wasn't until this week that their wedding was featured on the TLC reality series.

The Wedding Special captured the couple's first reality TV kiss alongside a behind-the-scenes look at their wedding. Several interviews with the couple and their families were also covered in the latest "Counting On" episode. Austin and Joy-Anna talked about how they felt about their then-upcoming wedding and said they were happy that it felt right.

Snippets of the special were also uploaded onto their YouTube Channel.

Joy-Anna and Austin have been friends for roughly 14 years. Eventually, Austin asked Jim Bob Duggar if he could enter a courtship with Joy-Anna. Austin received permission and he asked Joy-Anna to date him during a hike.

However, before Austin could marry her, his father asked him to finish working on five houses first. He finished his work and then asked his childhood friend to marry him.

Meanwhile, Joy-Ana and Austin weren't the only ones who found love during the wedding special.

Joseph also went to speak to Kendra's father in hopes of gaining the man's approval. Kendra's father was stone-faced at first, but after talking to Joseph, eventually said that he and his wife would give the young man their blessings.

The two-hour wedding special ended with Joy-Anna's brother, Joseph, proposing to Kendra.

Though the events have yet to play out on television, the Duggar family celebrated another wedding as Joseph and Kendra wed in September. Shortly after, pictures from their wedding day were released on the Duggar family website.

"Counting On" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on TLC.
