New pictures from the day Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald said their "I do's" have been released.

The photos, shot by Seewald's cousin Mark Kurowski, show various moments during the pair's November 2014 wedding.

One photo shows Jessa arranging her veil in front of a mirror, while another captured her with her father prior the ceremony.

In two of the pictures, the 19 Kids and Counting pair can be seen at the altar saying their vows, which they reportedly wrote themselves.

Other shots show Jessa and Ben flanked by bridesmaids in orange dresses on one side and groomsmen in grey shirts and braces on the other.

A solemn moment was caught on camera too. Kurowski captured the time in the ceremony when the couple, together with Jessa's father Jim Bob and two other people, gathered in an embrace and bowed their heads in prayer.

There was no "You may kiss the bride" picture, however.  The love birds, who were wed in front of about 2,000 people at the First Baptist Church in Bentonville, Arkansas, decided to save their first kiss until after the ceremony and have it in private.

Pastor Mike Schadt, who conducted the wedding service, said, "They wanted their very first kiss ever to be in private. It was important to the both of them."

In respect for the couple's decision, Schadt asked the bride's parents to kiss instead for the guests.

"So, now you've seen a Duggar kiss," Schadt joked after Jim Bob and wife Michelle shared a smooch.

After the ceremony, the pair headed to their wedding party, where there was no alcohol or dancing in accordance to the Duggars' religious beliefs.

There was no wedding cake either, as Jessa and Ben opted for ice cream sundaes instead.

When it was time to leave the reception, the two climbed on a horse-drawn carriage and drove away as the wedding crowd blew bubbles in the air.

19 Kids and Counting fans can watch Jessa and Ben's wedding when TLC's hit reality show returns next month.
