Duggar Wedding Date and More Details


Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald have officially announced their wedding date. The two will recite their vows in front of family and friends on Saturday, November 1st.

Their wedding is less than eight weeks away, and the future Mr. and Mrs. Seewald say they have already finished most of the planning.

"When you're planning a wedding, you can make it complicated, or make it simple, and we are trying to make ours simple," Ben told PEOPLE. "There are some things that have to be done right before the wedding, but for the most part, we're ready." 

One of the most time-consuming parts of planning a Duggar wedding is choosing the wedding party and finding outfits for everyone to wear.

"We have the bridal party picked, and the colors are done," Jessa told PEOPLE. "The bridesmaids dresses are selected."

Considering they have only been engaged for just over three weeks, that is quite impressive! Jessa is also happy to report that she recently went wedding dress shopping and fell in love with the second gown she tried on.

In the evenings, Jessa works on wedding planning while Ben, a college sophomore studying political science, completes online school assignments.

Jessa and her fiancé, who recently moved in with the Duggars and spends his days doing odd jobs for Jim Bob and Michelle, have also made a point to exercise together.

"We do a lot of weight lifting and cardio together, trying to stay fit," Ben told PEOPLE. "Some of the other kids, like Joy and Jason, sometimes join in. We have a little workout club going."

    1. I have no problem if she is but remember most women don't get pregnant the first month, and when we say things like this it can make it even harder on a woman if it does take her longer to conceive God will bless them in the best time

    2. All in God's timing!!! Birth control or prior use can mess up a woman's cycle, but they won't have to worry about that,...all in God's timing! I got pregnant my second month. A friend of mine got pregnant after 3 years, another friend 9 years, another friend 11 years! We are not in control of our fertility or infertility. All in God's timing and His plan!!!

  3. I'm sure people magazine has exclusive rights to the print coverage and is covering many of the costs. Wonder who paid for the engagement ring??

    1. Just let them be happy. Why pick on them? Who cares if they're getting money from people magazine? It's not coming from your pocket.

  36. I really do see now that jessa has been more expressive to Ben. Their relationship seems to mature so much from last season. Dare I say I think they know each other better than it appeared jill knew derrick by the time they were engaged. I'm happy for the entire duggar family! Thank you for sharing!

  41. Congrads you two. Getting married on the first day of a new month is concidered lucky. But the question is where are you getting married? In the same church as Jill and Derick or will it be an outdoor autumn wedding if the weather in early November is nice in Arkansas? What color are bridesmaid's dresses? Will Jill be a bridesmaid, even though she'll be showing a pregnancy belly? These are answers to post on the blog in the weeks ahead, Lily and Ellie.

  42. Jessa you need a fashion blog!! I love your style!!

  44. I hope they wait to have kids. This has gone so fast and they are so young. Enjoy being young and married together! You won't get the time back once you have children.

    1. I don't think they believe in birth control so it will be up to our Heavenly Farther to decide on when they have children

      Delete
    2. Children are a wonderful blessing! I understand why people say to wait, but God's timing is perfect and ours is human. I couldn't imagine life without our two girls (who we had within our first 3 years). God knows exactly what we need :-)

  45. Congrulations that's awesome.. Gods blessing on your wedding

    ReplyDelete
  46. Great people! God Bless them! Can't wait to see all those happy little babies! Years ago it was normal to get pregnant on your wedding night and WANT lots of kids! I have six and I love every one. It is so sad that people feel good being mean to their family. If you don't like them - why do you watch their facebook page? Go find something else to do! You have a choice. Saying mean things only makes you look bad, not them. Their fans will love them forever!!! Me included! God Bless the Duggars!!!! Every one!!

  47. Does Jessa do weight lifting and exercise in a skirt? Just curious.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I have been watching The Dugger's since there was 14 children. I have loved watching their family grow. They are a wonderful family.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Please help!! I am missing something.... Why is it ok for Ben not to have a real job or anything else the Duggars look for in a future husband. I understand why Derik didn't. He was gone for years reaching lost souls for Christ, and his mom has been really sick. My goal isn't for ppl to start being mean to him. I just want to understand it. From what it looks like on TV Jessa is making a huge mistake. I pray I am wrong!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yes finally! Some mention of healthy working out. I would love to know what "modest" workout attire is for the Duggar ladies!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love the Duggars, Jessa is a sweet beautifull girl, but i don't know why I really don't like Ben... it's a feeling I have that he's hiding something, like a part of his personality... maybe it's just me ;) I really hope they will live the classic happily ever after.
    Anyway... what do the Duggars think of a man beating his wife or his wife and his children? How the wife should react? Can she run away? Can she divorce?

    ReplyDelete
  52. May you be as happy as you are on your wedding day as you will be for the next 100 years. Congratulations love birds!!!

  53. Love that they work out together. Couples that lift together, stay together :D definitely a great way to bond

    ReplyDelete
  54. One thing I don't understand. Many times I have heard JB say that to be a solid provider is the responsability of a Godly husband. I am not sure Ben is there at this point. Odd jobs for food and rent is not supporting a family....or not?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Awesome!!! cannot wait to see the wedding-which will probably not be shown until nest spring:(! Lily and Ellie, do you know when the episode of Jill and Derek's wedding will be shown?

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm so glad that they are having a short engagement. It's just so much better to not drag it out once you are engaged.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I am truly happy to see God working in the lives of the Duggars. It is wonderful to see TV with a family that is walking in Gos's will.

  58. So happy that they are tiding the knot soon =)

  59. Wish our family was more like yours. People r just not close anymore.its good to see some r.

  60. The Family that pray together stay together I believe in this .... Amen !!

  61. Congratulations to the happy couple! It's nice to see no-fuss brides! Some couples put too much focus on the wedding and not the marriage. Looking forward to upcoming episodes :)
