A wedding planner's duty rarely involves testing batches of brownies with several children. But this wedding planner is like no other (it will take 34 very large pans of brownies for the reception). Also in the kitchen the Duggars are making homemade pizzas... using 7 lbs of cheese and 8 lbs of sauce. Don't try Josie's, she's a lick and stick kind of girl. If nothing else it's a great way to make sure no one takes your pizza.

With Jessa and Ben's wedding only a week away, there's a few loose ends to tie up. They've gotten the dresses, the flowers, the marriage license, the last couples counseling session with Michelle and Jim Bob, but the minister may be an issue. Mike Shadt is someone they've done mission trips with and highly respect, but he may not be certified to perform weddings in the state of Arkansas, even though he is ordained. Since he's out of the country, getting his certification may not be easy... or on time. One thing that will certainly be on time, however, is Jessa's wedding ring designed by Ben. She's not allowed to see it before the wedding, but their trip to the jewelers ensures it's completion.

Josh's wife, Anna, and their three children will be the first wedding guests to arrive in Arkansas. Josh wasn't able to travel with the family due to prior commitments but hopes to arrive the day before the wedding, weather permitting. This means the clock is ticking and it's getting real.
