Wedding bells are ringing for Jana Duggar!
Following her June engagement, the 34-year-old 19 Kids And Counting alum has married long-term boyfriend Stephen Wissmann, 31.
Per People, the wedding took place on Thursday, August 15 in the Duggars’ home state of Arkansas at The Grand at Willow Springs, and included 500 guests. Just two days before the big day, the reality star — who began dating Wissmann in 2020 — told the outlet, “This truly is something that I’ve dreamed of.”
The pair wanted their loved ones to be included on the special day. Jana’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, walked her down the aisle while her sister Jessa Duggar Seewald acted as the maid of honor.
Four other sisters of Jana’s (Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, and Jordyn Duggar) and sister-in-law Abbie Duggar served as bridesmaids.

“Coming from two bigger families, we love to be able to get together and celebrate moments like these,” the Counting On alum shared. “And so to have all of them there, it just means a lot.
For her wedding gown, the eldest daughter of the Duggar family opted for an ivory off-the-shoulder dress in a satin fabric, per photos obtained by People. “The dress felt classy and a bit like a princess,” Jana gushed.
In terms of decor, Jana wanted a simplistic look. “The venue is already so gorgeous and picturesque that I didn’t want to take too much from that,” she explained.
Jana took to Instagram to post People‘s coverage of her wedding. She captioned the photo,”Grateful for God’s goodness to us!”
Fans are thrilled for the newlyweds and were happy about Jana waiting until she found “The One” to marry. Despite being the eldest daughter, most of Jana’s younger sisters married before her.
One person commented, “Yay!!!!!!!!!!! She’s my FAVORITE!!!! She waited and I hope he treats her like the jewel she is!”
Another individual commented, “So excited for you & I’m glad you waited to find the right one for you ❤️.”
Jana also received support from her siblings with her sister Hannah commenting, “Such a perfect day! Love you both so much!! ❤”
Her sister Jill commented, “Congratulations sis!”
Looking to the future, Jana plans to move to Nebraska to live with Wissmann after the wedding.
