The high school sweethearts went on to get married and start a family. Here you see the doting parents with their two eldest kids, Reed and Cole. This was before Mia came into the world and changed life for her parents and for many other kids.
The family in this picture is a far cry from any of the images that will pop up if you search for “Duck Dynasty” online. None of the regular trademarks are in there, but strangely enough, this is the same family, just several years in the past and before everything they owned was camo.
The Sergeant
“Uncle” Si Robertson is known for his long and unruly beard, among other things, such as being the reed maker for the famous duck caller that made the family so wealthy. But he hasn’t always had the signature look, either.
In fact, this veteran served in the US Army and even fought in the Vietnam War. So, as you can imagine, there is little to no room for beards in the army, let alone something as grand as the Robertsons'. This means that during his military days, Si had to sport an extreme, clean-cut look. He appears to be a completely different person!
Happy Marriage
Missy and Jase looked so young and innocent in this picture of them. These two met in high school and started their love story in a way we thought was only reserved for romantic comedies — they went out on a fake date that was meant to help Jase get his ex-girlfriend jealous.
The mission turned out great but in a much better way than they had planned and the happy couple has been together ever since! Missy still looks gorgeous, of course, but Jase looks totally different. It’s got to be nice not getting food stuck in his beard anymore!
Puppy Love
Look how adorable these faces are together! It's a little hard to see it at first, but that guy hugging Jessica is actually her now-husband, Jep, minus the beard. Unless you consider that soul patch as a beard (and considering the context, we're going to assume you don't). They look just as happy these days as they did way back when this picture was taken.
It seems like they could be in high school or college in this photo but we couldn't find info on when exactly they first met. Those of you who are active in the Twittersphere can see them tweeting about each other and just being adorable.
Vacation in Paradise
Do you see that man on the right? Can you recognize him? If you're struggling, try to cover the bottom half of his face with your hand and see if helps. Yup! This fresh-faced dude is Willie Robetson. This picture was taken when he and his new wife Korie went on their honeymoon in Hawaii.
The young lovers enjoyed their time sunbathing on the islands of Hawaii and eating up fresh seafood. They’re even wearing their leis. Awww! When you’ve got millions of dollars, you’re free to take as many luxurious vacations as you want so they got to recreate the experience years later when Willie was already sporting his famous facial hair.
