Bates at the Duggar-Burnett Wedding

Five years ago, John-David Duggar was a groomsman in Zach and Whitney Bates' wedding, so when John married Abbie Burnett last Saturday, it only made sense that Zach would be part of the wedding party. Below is a snapshot that Zach and Whitney took with the bride and groom. For more Duggar-Burnett wedding details, visit our Duggar blog.

  4. Zach is thriving in his marriage to Whitney. I wonder if he would have become a law enforcement professional if he hadn't met her. It seems like so many of the kids end up as a minister, or marry a minister. That is fine but there are other professions to choose also. I think Whitney expanded Zach's horizons. With Abby being a nurse and therefore exposed to more than JD would be exposed to within his family's circle of friends, I hope he is able to develop his aviation work beyond flying his family to AFTI conferences. Sometimes it seems that the Duggar kids are restricted to working for their father.It is nice both couples are friends.

    1. JD doesn't work for his father he set up his own business independent from JB many years ago. It seems the younger boys thereon down though work for JB.

    2. I think Zach was already in law enforcement when he and Whitney met? She was working at Sonic as a car hop at the time, and I'm pretty sure he said he met her when he stopped by for a soda on one of his shifts.

    3. "So many" end up as a minister/marry a minister? I can only think of 2 from each family. Brandon Keilen and Bobby Smith (Bates family); Jeremy Vuolo and Ben Seewald (Duggar family).

    4. Anon @ 11:57 I think you are right that Zack was in law enforcement but as a volunteer constable, similar to JD, rather than as a full deputy sheriff. IIRC one episode showed his graduation after he and Whitney were married and she talked about how difficult it was to be away from each other during his police academy training.

    1. I have been asking this question for months. I remember during the time of the updo to site it was mention only if a couple ar e engaged would a change happen. I think this happen during the time of Nathan and Ashley becuase she was on the header.

      Be careful though you will receive backlash from others from wondering this. I have and I have never been rude in my request.
