The current season of "19 Kids and Counting" was filmed last spring, and it shows Jill's journey toward becoming the wife of her then-fiancé Derick Dillard. And in last Tuesday's episode, followers of the series saw how mom Michelle Duggar had been lending her daughter Jill a hand as they searched for the ideal wedding ring. They ended up at the same jeweler where Michelle and her husband Jim Bob got their own rings over thirty years ago.
"Looking back, when we were shopping for our wedding bands and my engagement ring 30 some years ago," the 47-year-old mother shared. "I would have never dreamed that we would have had 19 children."
At present, the Duggar family is making arrangements for yet another wedding – that of Jessa's, the fifth child in the family. After courting for 11 months and announcing their engagement last August, Jessa and her fiancé Ben Seewald have arranged for their nuptials to take place on Nov. 1.
The 21-year-old and her fiancé's bridal registry was reported by The Daily Mail as contrasting to that of Jill and Derick's, which was disclosed last June. It seems that the "19 Kids and Counting" star and her husband-to-be has already gone to Bed Bath & Beyond and has requested for a serving spoon worth $5, dish drainer for $12, and a set of ice trays for $3.
According to Ben, he and Jessa have been seeking to maintain the simplicity of their wedding plans. Other items that they requested for include a strawberry huller for $2.99, K-Cup coffee capsules worth $9.99, and mesh drawer organizer for only $3.99. Pricier items included a $500 set of stainless steel cookware items along with a set of knives worth $400.
After Ben popped the question last August, his bride-to-be changed her Instagram handle, took his last name, and made it Jessa Seewald.
"We do have a lot in common," the reality TV star shared. "'He is a mellow personality, very romantic and very sweet."
