Duggar shared a photo of herself and Israel greeting mom Michelle Duggar at the airport prior to serving as a bridesmaid for Bates. She, Dillard and their son returned to Central America with sister Joy Duggar and Bates' sister Carlin Bates on Sunday.
Bates is the eldest daughter of William "Gil" Bates and Kelly Jo Bates, another family with 19 children. The group are longtime friends of the Duggars, and came to fame on TLC series United Bates of America. Bringing Up Bates airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Up TV.
