It looks like Jessa Duggar is all set to wed fiancé Ben Seewald. Just weeks ago, the 19-year old reality TV star accepted the marriage proposal of boyfriend Seewald. And now, the couple is breezing through the wedding plans. Duggar says that they already have a wedding date set, and that she picked her wedding dress already.

In an interview with People Magazine, Seewald shared, "We have most of our planning done. When you're planning a wedding, you can make it complicated or make it simple, and we are trying to make ours simple. There are some things that have to be done right before the wedding, but for the most part, we're ready."

The short engagement and quick wedding isn't really a new thing in the Duggar household. Jill and Derick Dillard also had the same thing. The family believes in having a short engagement to prevent any physically intimate temptations between the couple.

When is the wedding date then? It will happen two months from now, on Nov. 1. And is everything set for the special day?

"We have the bridal party picked and the colors are done. The bridesmaids' dresses are selected," the bride-to-be said.  As for herself, she remarked, "I picked out my wedding dress a couple of days ago. I went with the second dress I tried on – I love it." 

According to People, Seewald has moved in with the family to make the planning easier. Duggar shared, "When he is doing his studies at night, I sit at my laptop beside him, planning the wedding." Seewald is still a sophomore in college.

What else is the couple doing besides planning the wedding? The "19 Kids and Counting" couple shared that they are bonding through working out.  

The soon-to-be groom said, "We do a lot of weight lifting and cardio together, trying to stay fit. Some of the other kids, like Joy and Jason, sometimes join in. We have a little workout club going."

Well, that's that. The Duggar Family will have a new addition in the family in two months and everyone's excited!
