Courtship[]
In May 2015, Jinger first met Jeremy Vuolo while he was visiting his friends, Jinger's sister and brother-in-law, Jessa and Ben Seewald. A mission trip to Honduras that both Jinger and Jeremy attended is said by Jeremy as what confirmed that he wanted to start a relationship with Jinger. On December 11, 2015, Jeremy received permission from Jinger's father, Jim Bob Duggar, to get to know Jinger better. On June 2, 2016, Jeremy asked Jinger to officially begin a courtship with him on the front porch of her family's house in Springdale, Arkansas. On June 20, 2016, the couple announced that they were courting. Their courtship proposal was featured on the Counting On episode "A Courtship Begins".
Engagement[]
On July 25, 2016, Jinger and Jeremy got engaged in New York City. The couple took a trip to meet Jeremy's family in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They then went to New York City, due to Jinger's love for the city. Jeremy took Jinger onto the rooftop of a building in Manhattan as the sun set, under the ruse of doing a photoshoot with Jeremy's photographer friend, James Song. Upon stepping out onto the roof, Jinger and Jeremy were greeted with a string quartet playing one of Jinger's favorite hymns, "Come Thou Font". Jeremy then got down on one knee and proposed to her. Their engagement was featured on the Counting On episode "Proposal in the City".
