Jana Duggar shocks in sexy off-the-shoulder wedding dress as fans suspect strict dad Jim Bob must be ‘pissed off’
JANA Duggar got married in an off-the-shoulder dress, which goes against her father’s rules.
His fans believe that Jim Bob must be angry with his daughter because she shows more skin than he would like.
Jana, 34, married Stephen Wissman on August 15 in Arkansas.
The former “Counting On” contestant wore a strapless white dress.
The front of the dress had a V-neck and she wore a thin white belt that connected to the A-line bottom.
Jana’s veil was transparent and covered with white dots.
She wore her blonde hair loose and curly and a necklace around her neck.
Stephen, 31, wore a simple black tuxedo with a white boutonniere.
In a photo posted by a friend on his Instagram story, Jana appears to have taken off her veil during the reception.
“PRETTY AND ELEGANT”
Duggar fans complimented Jana on her “pretty and elegant” dress, but were also surprised that her father allowed her to wear it.
Jim Bob had strict rules for his daughters that barely allowed them to show any skin.
“We avoid low-cut, cleavage-showing, gaping or off-the-shoulder tops and wear an undershirt when necessary,” she says in her 2014 book, Growing Up Duggar.
“Did Jana have to shout ‘NIKE!!!’ at her own wedding… at herself?” asked one Reddit user.
Nike is a family code word that means “Don’t look!”
“I love this dress. I think it’s so scandalous for a Duggar,” said another.
“Is that a shoulder I see?” joked another fan.

“Her dad must be angry,” wrote one Reddit user.
“Imagine what her dress would have looked like if she had followed tradition and gotten married at 18/19 like her sisters? She would have had long sleeves lol,” said another.
“Not only does it look pretty and normal, it’s also… elegant,” complimented one fan.
“Wow, this dress is actually pretty and looks normal, so unduggar-like,” said another.
“A dream comes true”
Jana and Stephen tied the knot in front of 500 guests.
The couple was only engaged for two months.
Jana told People she “never” thought it would happen, but now it’s something she’s always dreamed of.
“I think this is one of those things that all girls imagine one day,” the reality star told the outlet.
“For me, it felt like I was saying, ‘Okay, this is never coming.’ But now I’m starting to get it.”
“Reality starts to set in. And I think to myself, ‘Wow, this is really something I dreamed of,'” Jana continued.
“And to see it just happen is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It’s a dream come true.”
Like Jana, Stephen comes from a large family with 13 siblings.
Jana has 18 siblings.
“Since we come from two larger families, we love to come together and celebrate moments like this,” said Jana.
She said it meant a lot to her that they were all there at the wedding.
The couple had been together on and off for years, but kept their relationship and engagement secret.
