Jana Duggar, a ‘19 Kids and Counting’ and ‘Counting On’ alum, married Stephen Wissmann at an Arkansas wedding on Aug. 15.
Engaged in June, Duggar and Wissmann tied the knot at a luxury wedding venue, The Grand at Willow Springs, in the presence of friends and family, she revealed in photos on Instagram. Duggar’s bridal party consisted of Jessa Duggar Seewald as maid of honor, with sister-in-law Abbie Duggar and sisters Jordyn Duggar, Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, and Jinger Duggar Vuolo serving as bridesmaids.
Wissmann has been a good friend for years, Duggar told People Magazine in an exclusive interview.
“It takes me a bit to open up, but I think just his continuing to be there, no matter what, through ups and downs. He’s been a good friend over the years and has not pressured me in a lot of ways.”
The couple have known each other for a long time through their families and reconnected in March 2022, when Duggar’s brother, Jeremiah Duggar, married Wissmann’s sister, Hannah Wissmann Duggar, according to the Duggar family website.
“[The Wissmanns] would travel and sing. I remember them coming to our home, probably 13 or so years ago, and they ended up getting snowed in here… I remember just playing games late into the night, doing puzzles together until the snow melted off.” Duggar told People.
