’19 Kids & Counting’ Star Jessa Duggar And Fiancé Ben Seewald Have Officially Picked A Wedding Date
19 Kids & Counting star, Jessa Duggar, only got engaged last month to boyfriend Ben Seewald, but she's already picked a date to tie the knot. People exclusively learned that the newlyweds are walking down the aisle this fall.
The young couple will tie the knot on November 1, which is less than four months after they got engaged. Despite the quick turnaround, Jessa and Ben have the wedding planning under control.
"We have most of our planning done," Ben 19, told People. "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 bride-to-be has all of her bridesmaids dresses picked out and didn't have to search very long for her own wedding gown.
"We have the bridal party picked and the colors are done. The bridesmaids dresses are selected," Jessa explained.
"I picked out my wedding dress a couple of days ago. I went with the second dress I tried on - I love it," she added.
To make the wedding planning go smoothly, Jessa and Ben have already moved in together, but they are still only allowed to hug before their wedding and have chaperoned dates.
"He moved up here a few weeks ago," Jessa's father Jim Bob told People exclusively. "It has been really good. He has been able to spend a lot more time with Jessa and our family. We have a guesthouse in front of our house, with a shower and everything, separate from the main house."
As Ben continues his sophomore year of college studying political science, his 21-year-old fiancée prepares for their big day.
"When he is doing his studies at night, I sit at my laptop beside him, planning the wedding," Jessa told the publication.
Jessa is the third daughter of the Duggar family and the second one to get married. Since her engagement in August, Jessa has changed her social media name to Jessa Seewald and shared numerous photos of the happy duo.
Over the weekend, the happy bride-to-be shared another element of her engagement by showing off her diamond ring on Instagram. "My beautiful engagement ring! ?? .75 carat diamond-18 carat gold band. Gorgeous! ?? @ben_seewald," she wrote.
