Josh and Anna gave the weirdest overview of the courting process.

Here's how it goes: Duggar is famous. Non-Duggar sees the Duggar on TV/in a newspaper/as a local celebrity at church or whatever. The boy is immediately in love. The girl waits for her father to tell her she's in love. And then they get to go on a date and hope it goes well because they're basically already at the altar getting married. But first, a little casual-volunteer work in a prison. Sound good?

"When I was 13 I first heard about the Duggar family, through mutual friends. It was Christmas Day, and I read an article about the Duggars that a friend had sent to us. The Duggars had 13 children at the time, and I thought it would be neat to meet them one day!" Anna wrote. "Just after the Duggars first show aired on the Discovery Health Channel, some friends of ours sent us a copy of '14 Children & Pregnant Again!' As my family watched the video, I noticed how Joshua, then age 16, shared the importance of guarding his heart and waiting for someone who would really love him and wasn't going to just get carried away with their emotions."

They met at a conference, and Josh wrote, "As we talked, I felt God speak to my heart that this was the girl I was going to marry someday! … By that night I still could not get her off my mind! I went to my dad and told him what I felt like God had told me." A little while later, he doubled down: "I told him that I was for sure that Anna was the one for me. He agreed that God was moving us in that direction & counseled me to keep praying for our relationship."

Things were different for Anna: "While at the Duggars home, I noticed Joshua had many of the things I desired in a future partner. I began to commit those desires to the Lord, and reaffirmed my commitment to wait on Him to lead through my parents in that area… A few weeks later my Dad and I were out running an errand together. While we were driving home he asked me if there were any young men God had been speaking to me about. My Dad had never asked me a question like that before, but I knew what he was getting at… so I told him how I felt God speaking to my heart about Joshua. Much to my amazement my Dad surprised me by saying that he believed Joshua was the one for me!"

From there, things got serious for the couple. "After finishing my first week of seminars with Anna's brother in a Central Florida maximum security State Prison, we returned to the Kellers' home. I could not wait any longer, I knew that the ball was in my court! After dinner and sharing the evening with the family, I asked to talk with Mr. Keller, alone! Everyone else quickly hurried off to bed, and I fumbled to put my thoughts into words… finally I got it out …'I feel like God is leading me into a relationship with your daughter Anna, could I have your permission to court her?'"

See, it's all totally casual and definitely not weird. Why would you think courting would be weird?
