"19 Kids and Counting" fans have been following Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald's courtship for a while now. In fact, the courtship between the two started earlier than her sister's Jill and Derick Dillard's courtship. Now, it's time for Jessa and Ben's happily ever after to happen.
On Saturday, Jessa and Ben tied the knot at the First Baptist Church in Bentonville, Arkansas. More than 1,000 guests were in attendance to witness the two exchange their vows. Jessa and Ben got engaged in August and their wedding marked the third month of their engagement.
Jessa wore a pale blush tone wedding gown with a beaded bodice. She carried a coral accented bouquet that matched Ben's bow tie. Jessa loved her dress, she gushed to People.
The maid of honor was Jinger, Jessa's 20-year old sister. The best man was Dylan McMahan, Ben's best friend.
It's the second wedding for the Duggar family this year. What does Michelle have to say about the new addition to their family?
"Ben is a peacemaker and a gentle, kind man. I am grateful for the way the Lord brings two people together. We love Jessa so much and are so happy for her," Michelle said.
Bestman McMahan described Ben as "a man of integrity." "I know he's going to honor his wife and put her first, he said.
Ben's father Michael also shared something about his son. "I was the same age as Ben when I was going through the same thing. For me, it helped to mature me. A committed relationship does a lot to mature a young man. It does make them grow up a little bit. I can see that happening to Ben already," Michael told People.
Ben has six siblings and he is the eldest. Michael and Guinn Seewald are very proud of their responsible son.
Jessa and Ben will immediately proceed with their honeymoon, but the location is kept hush-hush right now. Nevertheless, do wait for next season of "19 Kids and Counting" as every detail of Jessa and Ben's wedding preparation, rehearsals and wedding day were all caught on tape.
