The Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald nuptials are underway. On Nov. 1 this year, the two will finally share their "I dos" and their first kiss.

Following the announcement, the "19 Kids and Counting" couple shared the news along with an invitation bearing a charming photo of the couple displaying pure and strong love connection with a meaningful stare. Viewers who watched the love between the two blossom throughout the program will be the first to see them as newlyweds.

According to Breathecast, citing other reports, the soon-to-be husband and wife has their eyes set on making their own family.

"We're both open to children and [are] looking forward to starting a family of our own. We also really want to adopt," said Jessa in an interview via Hollywood Gossip.

"We've got a lot of different ideas about what we're going to do, but adopting is definitely one of them," her fiancé Seewald confirms.

Main family man Jim Bob Duggar expressed his excitement as her daughter walks into a new and bigger chapter of her life.

"I really don't have a vision of how to put a wedding together, it is just an endless amount of details and choices. It is overwhelming. But, we are excited for Ben and Jessa and how the Lord has worked in their lives," Jim Bob said via Breathcast.

Meanwhile, Jessa as well as her sister Jill grew inactive in the social media world. While Jessa's speculated reason for online absence may stem to the Holocaust-abortion comment she made through Instagram in which she gained her future father-in-law's support, it may also be due to TLC's request to the sisters and their partners to keep their social media engagements on a down-low, The Inquistr reported.

The network has reportedly censored the family's anti-abortion shirts in one episode and instead wanted fans to turn their attention to the Jill and Derick Dillard as they welcome their baby boy. After teasing fans about the news, the couple finally let everyone breathe on the Oct. 21 episode titled "All About Jill" when the two revealed the gender of the latest family member.
