This meet-cute is going to be hard to top.
On Tuesday's episode of 19 Kids and Counting (9/8c, TLC), fans got to witness Jill Duggar meet her now-fiancé Derick Dillard for the first time.
After video chatting with Derick for three months, Jill flew to Nepal to meet him face-to-face with her dad in tow to chaperone, natch. As viewers already saw earlier, Jill knew Derick was special right from the start. "I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, this could very well be my future husband," Duggar tells the camera. "This could be the one!"
Upon meeting Jill, Derick admits that he's never missed someone so much that he's never even met before in person. However, the real love story might be between Derick and papa Jim Bob, who is clearly very taken with his daughter's suitor and even proclaims his desire to grow a beard just like Derick!
Duggar, 22, and Dillard, 25, announced their engagement last month.
Check out the video below to find out why Jim Bob is "scared" about meeting Derick:
19 Kids and Counting airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on TLC.
