There's love everywhere and in every corner of the Duggar household. Recently, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard got married and are enjoying their new life as husband and wife. And Jessa Duggar and boyfriend Ben Seewald are looking like they're headed down the aisle too.

Rumors surfaced when Jessa and Ben went on a trip to Central America. The rumors said that the couple might already be engaged or getting engaged there. But Jim Bob Duggar explained that it was a missionary trip and the couple wasn't alone. They were accompanied by Duggar chaperones and were there together with other missionaries.

The couple shared photos in Instagram during the trip and it was very obvious how Jessa has grown to be a very beautiful lady. Seewald captioned the photo "Shared a wonderful two weeks in Central America with my BFF! Such a special time of serving Jesus together!" Even fans of the show noticed the change in Jessa's appearance these past months.

Meanwhile, there's another celebration of love in the Duggar household and that's Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 30<sup>th wedding anniversary. The "19 Kids and Counting" stars will celebrate the milestone by going to a special lunch and later, will spend the evening with the family.

How does Jim Bob feel about the anniversary? He told ABC News: "[I'm] looking forward to 30 more happy years together."

Elsewhere, Jill uploaded a photo of her parents on Instagram captioned "Happy 30th Anniversary to the best parents ever! We love you! Derick and I share the joy as we celebrate our first 30 days together and look forward to our next 30+ years! #30thanniversary #anniversary #duggarfam #19kidsandcounting #derickdillard #jillmdillard #jimbobduggar #michelleduggar"
