If there's one thing the Duggars know how to do, it's put on a good wedding. From Jessa to Jinger, we've seen some pretty awesome ceremonies and receptions we're secretly adding to our Pinterest boards, which now includes recent newlywed Joy-Anna Duggar. That's right, the 19-year-old Duggar daughter has gotten hitched -- and the wedding looked beautiful to say the least! 

Joy and her now-husband Austin Forsyth's May 26 wedding was one for the books. Aside from looking ah-may-zing -- full of beautifully rich hues and wedding decorations that would likely make Martha Stewart take a few notes -- the couple's special day was filled with love and surrounded by family.

From the preparation to the "I do's" to the getaway, it was all planned out gorgeously -- and we can't help but wish we were invited too! Of course Joy looked stunning in her wedding gown and everyone in attendance looked like they had a great time. Here's a look at some memorable moments from Joy-Anna and Austin's wedding day for all the folks who wish they could have been there to witness it IRL.

The Bridal Party

One of the perks of having so many siblings is the endless number of bridesmaids you have at your fingertips. Everyone from Jessa to Jill, Jana, sister-in-law Anna, and soon-to-be sis Kendra were a part of Joy's special day.

Lookin' good, ladies!

Joy-Anna might've had eight ladies in her wedding party, but the number of groomsmen Austin had blew the gals out of the water -- and then some. Looking at this photo, we count 13 people!

This is such a striking photo. To see Joy and Austin able to steal a moment -- away from their large families, guests, and *Counting On* cameras -- was likely a breath of much-needed air for this newlywed duo.

Hmm ... wonder what Joy is doing with her wedding bouquet. Why, is Kendra, Joesph Duggar's girlfriend, standing in front of the bride?

One can only imagine what happens next.

Another Day, Another Duggar Wedding

As TLC mentions, Joesph Duggar got Joy-Anna and Austin's blessing to propose to love Kendra at their wedding -- squashing any and all thoughts the Duggar sibling made the decision on a whim.

Seeing as Joy and Austin are now married, we look forward to Joesph and Kendra's special day.
