'19 Kids and Counting': Family helps with Jessa Duggar and Ben's wedding preparations

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald's wedding is happening really soon, and the whole "19 Kids and Counting" family is contributing to help the couple plan their dream wedding.

It seems like the Nov. 1 wedding between Jessa and Ben will be a big event, just like what her sister Jill had when she married Derick Dillard back in June.

In an interview with People, Jessa shared that she is very excited, and the rest of her family is pitching in to help her and her fiancé plan their wedding.

Aside from having a big wedding, the couple will also follow the same conservative approach that Jill and Derrick observed during their courtship and engagement before getting married. It means that the 21-year-old Jessa and the 19-year-old Ben will only share their very first kiss in front of the altar.

The couple had already laid out several important tasks prior to the wedding, such as picking up their bridal party, taking care of the bridesmaids' dresses, and sending out the invitations. They have also picked up Jessa's wedding dress.

The soon-to-be bride excitedly shared the moment when she chose her perfect dress, saying, "I put it on, looked in the mirror, and it hit me. I'm going to be a bride."

The Duggar parents Jim Bob and Michelle, also shared their excitement for the upcoming wedding of their fifth daughter to the love of her life.

"Jessa is working on all these details that she and Ben are planning. I really don't have a vision of how to put a wedding together, it is just an endless amount of details and choices. It is overwhelming. But, we are excited for Ben and Jessa and how the Lord has worked in their lives," Jim Bob stated.

And since she came from a huge family, a lot of viewers are asking if Jessa and Ben would also want to have children of their own. Jessa answered it in an interview posted in Radar Online, saying: "We're both open to children and looking forward to starting a family of our own. We also really want to adopt."

Watch how Jessa and Ben prepare for their big day in the all-new episodes of "19 Kids and Counting" on TLC.
