DUGGAR fans have been left “disturbed” after Jed Duggar vowed to be a “leader” to his “submissive” new wife Katey.
Many tuned in to listen to the wedding vows of the young couple on YouTube, but were felt feeling “depressed” by the “creepy” ceremony.
Jed, 22, who is the son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, announced he had married Katey Nakatsu in a heartfelt Instagram post over the weekend.
But fans were left less than impressed with his vows to his now wife, as he promised to be her “spiritual leader” throughout their marriage.
In a clip first captured by reporter Katie Joy from Without A Crystal Ball, Jed read his vows to his wife and their watching family and friends, as he explained: “God has ordained that the husband be the head of the wife.
“He instructs me as the one that will be your husband and love unconditionally as Christ loves the Church.
“With Christ and by his grace, I vow to be your humble, spiritual leader. To be a man of the word, to remain faithful to you.
“To stay open with you, guard you, protect you, listen to your needs and love you whether you are healthy or sick, rich or poor, young or old.”
Katey then replied: “God has ordained that the wife be subject to her husband. He instructs me as the one who will be your wife to submit to your authority as you submit to Christ.
“I vow to submit to your leadership, pray for you always, trust you, honour you, be your greatest encourager, listen to your needs, and love you whether you are healthy or sick, rich or poor, young or old.”
Fans immediately took to the comment section to share their thoughts on the wedding ceremony, dubbing it “disturbing”.
“These are the most disturbing vows I’ve ever heard,” one man wrote. “Way worse than all the other Duggar weddings. He seriously OWNS her.”
Another chimed in: “This just makes me so sad. The one thing positive thing I can say is that she was a beautiful bride.”
“She looked beautiful in her dress, but too bad the rest of the wedding is creepy as f***,” a third agreed in the comments.
“Everything about this wedding was so depressing,” said one woman, as another hit back: “Aren’t wedding ceremonies supposed to be hopeful? Run Katie, run.”
Counting On star Jed and Katey got married over the weekend in a packed family ceremony in Arkansas.
Jed’s twin brother, Jeremiah, was his best man, according to Hello, while Katey had her sister as her maid of honor.
The role of flower girl went to Jed’s niece – Jinger Duggar and husband Jeremy Vuolo’s daughter, Felicity.
A wedding invitation from an attendee leaked last month, revealing that Jed and Katey were set to wed on April 3, 2021, with many of their loved ones watching both in person and via livestream.
Jim Bob and Michelle gifted son Jed with a $365,000 three-bedroom home amid his engagement.
Property records obtained by The Sun reveal the home that sits on over five acres of land is currently owned by his parents.
The Counting On patriarch, who has a real estate empire worth millions, is known for gifting his children homes when they tie the knot.
Jed rented a three-bedroom, two-bathroom Springdale, Arkansas home with his twin brother, Jeremiah, in September 2019 for $950 a month.

The Sun previously reported Jed moved out of the home after his landslide loss in the Arkansas State Representative race, as the home was listed for rent in December 2020.
Jed’s former neighbor told The Sun: “He moved out after he lost the election. He was a quiet guy and not around here for very long. He went back to the family home.”
Jed had been dating and proposed to Katey, whose real name is Katelyn, in secret, and their engagement photos and invitation to their virtual wedding leaked online.
Last Fall, Jed confirmed that he “had a lady” and painted a pumpkin with the name “Katey” written on the front.
