He shared the exciting news via Instagram, calling his future wife ‘the best thing that has ever happened to him.’
Jeremiah, or ‘Jer,’ who starred in the TLC show Counting On alongside the rest of his family until it was canceled last summer, popped the question on a stone platform in a big field with rose petals laid out all over the ground.

The Duggars follow very strict rules governing male-female interactions. In addition to saving their first kiss for their wedding day, Duggars generally refrain from physical contact any more intimate than a short side-hug before marriage. However, some engaged couples agree to hold hands.
