While most of the comments are very positive and a lot of fans are thrilled the reality TV couple have shared so many years of marriage together, there are a lot of people who are really shocked about how young they were when they got hitched.

“They look like mere children here! How old were they in this picture?” one commenter wrote. Others agreed, with comments including, “they WERE teenagers when they married lol. She was 17, he was 19,” “They look so young!” and “Innocence lost, memories tarnished.”
Fans might be shocked, but the couple are thrilled, as they took to their blog to share their wedding anniversary wishes for each other. Jim Bob’s message includes, “The greatest blessing of my life was 31 years ago, on July 21, 1984 when Michelle married me. She is the virtuous woman that Proverbs 31 talks about. She is the ultimate wife and mother and I love her more and more each day.”
