Jana Duggar marries Stephen Wissmann in Arkansas

Jana Duggar is a wife!

The 34-year-old married Stephen Wissmann on Thursday in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, reports People.

The couple said “I do” during a “classic, elegant” ceremony at The Grand at Willow Springs in front of 500 guests, according to the outlet.

Jana’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, walked her down the aisle to the song “Holy, Holy, Holy.”

The bride’s sisters were also involved in the wedding ceremony. Jessa Duggar Seewald served as maid of honor. Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar were bridesmaids alongside Jana’s sister-in-law Abbie Duggar.

The wedding news comes after the US Sun reported that the newlyweds received their marriage license in their home state of Arkansas on Wednesday.

Duggar and Wissmann, who got engaged in June, first sparked romance rumors after they were spotted together in December 2020. However, they have kept their romance off social media and have never publicly commented on their relationship status.

People reports that the two met years ago through their families. The “19 Kids and Counting” star’s brother, Jeremiah Duggar, is married to Wissmann’s sister Hannah.

Like Jana, Wissmann comes from a large, religious family with 13 children. According to his Instagram, he owns a company and is a private pilot.

Jana sparked engagement rumors last month after posting a series of photos wearing a diamond ring The Finger.

In the pictures, the bride-to-be posed with her brother John and his wife Abbie. Although she hid her left hand in two pictures, attentive fans still noticed the sparkler in one of the pictures.

Jana is the eldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and was often called “Cinderella Duggar” because marriage was not as high a priority for her as it was for many of her siblings, who mostly married in their early 20s.

However, in July 2020, the TLC star told Us Weekly that she was “not that worried” about finding “the one.”

“Yes, I long to be married and I think that will happen one day, but I think… I just try to stay busy with whatever comes my way,” she told the outlet.

Although she feels “a little more pressure” to find a husband, Jana said she wants to make “the most” of her years as a single woman.

“I think if I sit there and think, ‘Oh no, I’m not married’ and just worry, it makes everything a lot worse,” she said.

Jana explained that she did not want to commit to a steady life and hoped to find a love as strong as that of her parents, who had married in 1984.

“The real love they still have for each other…that young love they still have today. I think it’s rare to see couples their age who have been married for so long.”
