  • Jessa Seewald Talks Wedding Vows on ’19 Kids and Counting’

    Jessa Seewald talked on Tuesday night’s episode of 19 Kids and Counting about her and Ben Seewald’s wedding vows during their November wedding.

    More than five months after Ben and Jessa Seewald became husband and wife, they shared their very special day with their 19 Kids and Counting fans.

    “Jessa, you are the love of my life. You’re my best friend and I’ve learned so much through your love for me,” Ben shared. “Jessa, this day I take you to be my loyal wife.”

    “One thing that we really wanted was unique vows,” Jessa Seewald said. “We wanted something a little more personalized.”

    “I was kind of afraid that I might be nervous reading the vows and get all my words jumbled up,” she added.

    Ben and Jessa Seewald did well, however, and didn’t jumble their wedding vows–even when saying them in front of 1000 guests.

    One thing they didn’t do in front of those guests, however, was to partake of their first kiss as husband and wife.

    “I didn’t know until a couple of days before,” Jim Bob Duggar said on Tuesday’s episode. “They said we really wanted it to be an intimate kiss and we don’t really want to do it in front of everybody. That really highlighted how important it was that they waited.”

    Ben and Jessa Seewald did break convention by sharing their first kiss in private. Now fans are eagerly watching and waiting for word that the 19 Kids and Counting couple is expecting their first baby.

    Jessa Duggar Seewald shared some exciting news with her fans recently. Many hoped it might be baby news, but it was word of brother Josiah Duggar’s courtship.

    Maybe that baby news will come before too much longer for Ben and Jessa Seewald?

  • ’19 Kids and Counting:’ Meet Josiah Duggar’s Courting Partner Marjorie Jackson

    19 Kids and Counting star Josiah Duggar entered into a courtship with a young lady named Marjorie Jackson on the same day big sister Jill Duggar gave birth to Israel David Dillard.

    In the 19 Kids and Counting family, parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have implemented the notion of courting over dating. Courting is designed to determine if a girlfriend or boyfriend is a suitable life partner–much in the way Amish families implement the form of dating. Since the Duggar family members are devout Christians, it’s no surprise that Marjorie Jackson comes from a strict Christian family as well.

    At 17 years old, Marjorie is one year younger than Josiah Duggar. Her family has known the Duggar family for several years. Marjorie and Josiah met while he was taking Spanish lessons at her family’s house. She caught Josiah’s eye during a mission trip to El Salvador this past December.

    Marjorie Jackson is the oldest of five daughters. Her sisters are 15, eight, five, and two years old.

    The 19 Kids and Counting family will gain a very talented member, should Josiah and Marjorie’s courtship lead to marriage. She is bilingual in English and Spanish because of her mother Analucia’s heritage. Marjorie is also an accomplished pianist and actress and has even written a book that encourages young ladies to read the Bible.

    As she nears the end of high school, Marjorie has also been taking college-level graphic design classes. Her dad Greg is a graphic designer.

    “I really appreciate the Duggar family,” Marjorie said in a recent interview. “I respect and admire them. I will just take this one step at a time.”

    Josiah Duggar and Marjorie Jackson will share a special message with 19 Kids and Counting fans on tonight’s (Tuesday, April 14th) episode of the show.

    Will you be tuning in to see what the newly courting couple has to say?
