’19 Kids and Counting’ Cast News and Wedding: Star Jessa Duggar Marries Ben Seewald
Saturday, Nov. 1, marked the wedding day of "19 Kids and Counting" star Jessa Duggar and her beau Ben Seewald, Us Weekly reports.
The now newlywed pair said "I do" in front of 1,000 guests at the First Baptist Church in Bentonville, Arkansas.
E! News reports that the 21-year-old reality TV star donned a champagne colored wedding gown by Allure, which featured "a scoop neck with cap sleeves, a beaded bodice adorned with Swarovski crystals and pearls and a customized tulle and satin skirt."
Duggar also carried a bouquet with coral accent to match her husband's bow tie, according to People.
Two things that were not present at the Duggar-Seewald wedding was a cake and a first kiss from the married couple.
Us Weekly reported that couple opted not to kiss at the alter because they wanted to experience their first kiss alone in a more intimate setting.
Following the wedding ceremony, Duggar and Seewald were granted some time alone and later shared a second kiss at the reception, E! News reported.
Instead of opting for a traditional wedding cake, the Seewald's chose ice cream sundaes as their form of marital desert.
"I don't really like cake," Jessa told People, as she ate chocolate ice-cream while her husband opted for mint-chocolate chip.
Now that Duggar and Seewald are officially married, they will no longer be chaperoned on dates by their parents.
In a past TLC clip of the "19 Kids and Counting" star, she reveals that having no chaperones is one thing she looks forward to when she is married.
"No chaperones. We're thankful for our chaperones, we really are, but it'll be nice to be married," she said.
E! News reports that Duggar and Seewald were also banned from hold hands while they were dating out of respect for their devout Christian faith.
