Fans of "19 Kids and Counting" were saddened when TLC cancelled the Duggar family's reality show. As viewers have come to love Jim Bob, Michelle and their brood of 19, many have been wondering if any of them will ever be back on television. Now, it seems like one of the older children could be returning to TV, thanks to a wedding on another reality series. 

According to the Daily Mail, Jana, 25, is going to be a bridesmaid at her friend Michaella Bates' wedding to Brandon Keilen. The Bates family has their own reality show, "Bringing Up Bates," which airs on UP Network.

The website reports that Michaella and Brandon will tie the knot on Saturday at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, and that the whole Duggar clan is invited. The Arkansas-based family will reportedly make the 20-hour trip in a motor home to Tennessee and is expected to arrive a day before the wedding to help out with wedding preparations. 

Sources told the Daily Mail that Jana was asked to be in the wedding party before the news of Josh's molestation scandal broke in May and "19 Kids and Counting" was cancelled officially last month. 

While the site reports that Jana will definitely get some air time because she is a part of the wedding party and is one of Michaella's best friends, there is a chance that the rest of the Duggar family may not be seen at all during the televised wedding. 

Following Michaella's wedding, fans will get to see Jana as she will be joining her sister Jinger and their mom Michelle on an appearance at the COMMIT Mother/ Daughter Conference at the Verity University in Indianapolis, Indiana. Aside from the Duggar ladies, the conference, which will run from Aug. 19 to 22, will feature different speakers such as relationship coach Jenny Speed and motivational speaker Elizabeth Baldwin Combs. 

According to the Commit Conferences website, Jana and Jinger will "share from their hearts about their relationship as sisters in a family of 19 children, the importance of communication and openness with their parents, and about their relationship with Jesus."
