It's highly unlikely that Jim Bob had much involvement in their relationship. They are adults in their thirties. Also, Jana was studying nursing, wearing shorts, pants and in general making her own decisions.
My niece was a few days short of marrying at 31. She had traveled the world. Became a lawyer and now a judge. She had four children beginning at age 32. It’s like she lived two adult lives and I’m so proud of her!
@@Nightbird1914 sounds exhausting ugh. I’m so glad I saw thru that “women have to do it all” nonsense. I’m home making bread and taking care of babies. Happy life.
Many women have babies in their 30's now. I had my first at 32. I'm so glad I did! My mom had me at 16. I knew I wanted and needed my 20's to grow up before I brought kids into the world.
I'm happy for your niece, however extensive traveling costs a LOT of money, as does law school. So I think it would be better for most people to accept and make peace with the fact that there are a lot of things they might not ever do, instead of comparing themselves to others who may have done those things. In my case for example I am 38 years old and have never got to travel on a plane, and although I would like to do that at some point I have accepted and made peace with the fact that I just might not ever get to do it in my lifetime, and have accepted that is okay. I can also just be at home or go around to local places and be happy doing it without feeling the need to travel anywhere, compared to people who become depressed if they don't "get" to travel. I won't lie though, it took me a LONG time and years of therapy to get to this point. Thank GOODNESS there is a local outpatient clinic that has therapy and accepts medicaid, otherwise I don't know what I would do.
@@tlynn7043 She’s a very chill person and the best Mom and friend I know. Her kids are all successful and respectful. They haven’t missed out on anything. Her daughter just got married at 30 also. My Mom didn’t work outside the home until I was 18. Not everyone is the same and that’s ok.
As a Christian myself, I'm glad Jana took a personal stand and chose the dress *she* wanted for her wedding -- not perhaps what the IBLP expected of her, or what her father might have expected her to wear. At 34, she is a full-grown woman. She loves the Lord. She has her own thoughts, desires, and feelings. I think she looks so stunning in her wedding dress .. it's modern, clean, and does not show so much of her body as to be considered immodest, according to their beliefs. I wish - and hope for the future - that people, most especially those of the Christian faith, will remember that we all have a *personal relationship* with God, not one with a group of others who tell us what to do, how to dress, what to say .. all of those things are between God and each of us separately; and we make our own decisions based on our very personal relationship with Him. Jana looked classy and absolutely beautiful 👰🤵
Re: comment: 👆Get as far away from your parents as you possibly can! You have to in order to be yourself! They’re twisted! Protecting a perverted son over their precious daughters! RUN JANA RUN! Please don’t return back!
Nursing school!! Oh I hope she continues. I can tell you It’s such a rewarding career. I can see her as a wonderful nurse. She can do both and I hope she does! She looks absolutely gorgeous!
Nursing gives women the power to make “a man’s wedge”. That’s what I was told some 20 years ago by experienced nurse. And you know what. When I became a RN I started making more $$ than my husband. My income for 17 years was greater than his until he was advanced into management when he made equal to what I did. A strong relationship will survive. A fake relationship will parish. I’ve been married 40 years strong.
@@miaochs7716 Hahaha! Nice! Nursing also gave me the flexibility for my husband and I to work alternate shifts as to not rely on babysitters for more than an hour and a half a day when our kids were young.
I was at the "ripe old age" of 44. I never thought I'd get married, and I was okay with that. Then, I adopted a Chihuahua that needed daily walking, and...met the love of my life!
Jana has always been my favorite; her quiet elegance. She looked absolutely beautiful! I loved everything about her wedding. Sending Jana and Stephen God’s blessings for a happy, loving lifetime together.
That dress is phenomenal. Not IBLP “modest” either; her entire back is showing. I think Jana will be very happy. I was 37 when I got married and in September we will be celebrating 21 years. Go Jana!! ❤️💕💗
The two of them look genuinely happy together! Although, from what I've read when interviewed, Jana never mentioned the word "love". She looked so beautiful and Stephen, handsome! Her engagement ring looks beautiful, too. Seems Stephen has good taste. I'm so glad that they will be living in Nebraska away from Jim Bob and the Duggar chaos.
My daughter married someone who she was friends with for 5 years. After college graduation and they had to go different ways they decided they could not live without each other. That was 17 years ago and 4 kids later. Being friends first was the best way to go.
Being on tv messes with people’s image of themselves and others. She did raise many of her siblings. Though private with the outside world she is very involved with her siblings. She admitted to struggling with relationships and trust. Makes sense with how she was raised.
I was shocked and happy to hear she was going to nursing school!!! She had to give up her floral nursery business to pay for juniors million dollar defense team happy boob loosened up a little.
Michele’s are already raised. Anna’s oldest is old enough to take over the younger ones (maybe Jennifer or Josie will be tapped to help). Jana did the bulky hard work.
my daughter in law had 2 brothers who married 2 sister I ever gave it a thought. There all still married and their nw grandparent sense than my sister in law died in 2018 she had cancer. My brother is single but does have lady friend who lost her husband n 2016 I am happy for them too.
My grandmother and her sister married brothers. My dad has 4 double first cousins. I also knew a set of female identical twins who married a sweet of male identical twins.
What a shocker. 🙄🙄🙄Jim Bob using his children for capital gains. Pretty positive Jana got not one penny for those paid pictures. Run Jana Run! You did it!

@@loriclark553 Jana and Stephen may have signed the contract, but I don’t think it was Jana who contacted people about her getting married. Plus jimbob isn’t going to miss out on a chance to make money, even at the expense of his family.
@@rachelatwater7576 Give these young people some credit. If Jills husband has taught them anything, it's get what's due. I'm sure they've all learned to hire someone for finances and PR.
I love her dress and bridesmaids dress it was a huge shock but a nice one honestly I hope he is a good guy and she can actually be free and away from Jimboob
I have a somewhat different take on this. I suspect that they genuinely loved each other and she let her dad and the family issues and the relationship then later regretted it. That they reconnected, and her being a bit older gave her the courage to not let it happen again. And that Jim Bob- having had his reputation tarnished by his refusal to bend on controlling his adult children- isn’t willing to risk that blow again. His pride won’t let him admit wrong going to Jill and relinquish his perceived authority, but his pride also won’t let him find himself in a situation where Janna finally stands up for himself and he’s publicly shamed by being booted from her life. I do agree that she’s giving this token interview as little as she can in an effort to preserve family relationships and Jim Bob wants himself a payday.
People magazine can't make a contract with Jim Bob. Jana and her husband are adults in their thirties, not children with guardians. Simple common sense tells you that only Jana and Stephen signed the contract and cashed the check.
I agree with your assessment. Jill Duggar wrote in her book "Counting the Cost" that the 1 thing she could not reconcile in her own mind or forgive her father for was the fact that Jim Bob, rather than to seek help for Josh's problem thru mental health therapy, he decided instead to cover it up by sending him off to work camps which obviously did not work. I also thought the narrator made an interesting comment during the interview Jana did all the talking while Stephen remained quiet. I do truly believe Jana and Stephen love each other, and it is a good thing that they will be living in Nebraska far away from Jim Bob's control and meddling. Stephen strikes me as being his own man (like Jill's husband Derek) and I believe he won't tolerate Jim Bob's meddling. I wish them all the happiness that they both so richly deserve.
The venue is stunning. Her dress is gorgeous and modern. I'm shocked that it is off the shoulder and low cut in the back. And they danced??? They danced!!!
Marrying into the same family is more common than you think. My mom and her 2 sisters married my dad and his 2 brothers. It made doing a family tree a lot easier! 😊
In what looks like their engagement pictures, she looks genuinely happy. And then there’s that gorgeous wedding gown! IMO, this her FU to her father. I’m sure she didn’t want to do the interview-it appears to me that she prefers a quiet, private life.
She gave the exclusive to People Magazine because the paycheck would help them start their life together. Jim Bob is not her guardian, and would have no authority to sign a contract, or cash the check on her behalf.
I get the feeling Steven never stopped loving her but didn't want to pressure her because that would have ended badly. I think he was probably like if I stay her friend and prove that I will always be here, maybe she will realize that we are truly meant to be. The fact that they are friends will help them so much in marriage. Yes you have to be attracted to the person you marry but having a friendship first IMO is a massive advantage for marriage!!
She looked beautiful in her wedding dress and they make a gorgeous couple. I understand why they didn’t get married a couple years ago during trial. Who’d want that criminal trial to overshadow their wedding. They did the right thing by waiting until the dust settled. I wish them nothing but happiness! 🎊❤️
People Magazine said that Jana and Stephen had a house they’ve been working on already. I’m so thankful she’s getting away from the Duggars. I hope she stays away. She may have the next book, who knows? I personally wish Jana would go to college and get a degree. She’s plenty smart enough.
Coming from someone who married to “get out of the parent’s house”, I hope she married for the right reasons . I guess it takes what it takes to get out. She is truly escaping a cult-within-a-cult, the Duggar cult within the IBLP cult. I sure hope he’s not a Gothard follower.
The Duggars have a commercial kitchen in the back of the house in addition to the open concept kitchen off the great room,so I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t allow the Wissmann’s to use the commercial kitchen for the wedding reception prep since it was such an important part of the reception and by having the Wissmann’s do all that work it actually saved Jib Bob a ton on catering.
Jana don't feel like you gotta pop out them babies ASAP. Enjoy your husband and married life and ENJOY JUST BEING OUT OF THAT DISGUSTING HOUSE OF HORRORS
@user-kn6nv5hg9z For me, being a mother has been my first, best destiny. I love every second of it. Being a mom is only second to being a grandmother. I just feel that Jana was forced to be the mother to almost all of her siblings. She may feel like she doesn't want to raise any more kids. If that is how she feels, then I don't want her to feel pressured to have kids.
Jana for the WIN!! Best dress, best ring, best venue, best wedding and top notch taste! Hands down she won all of it! I’m super happy for her, also making a prediction that they only have 2 kids
I am happy for Jana! I hope that she has a wonderful and blessed life! The big Duggar house is REALLY going to miss all of the work that she did! ❤️🙏✌🏻
I’m glad the rumors were true and I hope she moves far away from Arkansa. Her dress was STUNNING! I was surprised at all the skin.. and she made a gorgeous bride. Prettiest of all the sisters, IMO
I am glad JB no longer owns her! Of course knowing that narcissist, he may own her and her husband now. And God did want her to marry later since JB thinks he is God.
@elizabethbesco4758 OH, you know he did. Or at least tried to. If Jana was smart, she would have refused by saying that if he tried to force that, she would spill her guts to People. JB can't afford another scandal. She would have a lot of control that way.
Wedding venues that I've been to often have onsite industrial kitchens. Anyway, Jana looked beautiful! Like a fairytale Princess along with her handsome Prince! I wish them much love and happiness throughout their lives! I'm SO happy that she and Stephen also had a first dance together! Good for them, doing the wedding their way! ✨🤍🤍✨
This is the best news EVER and I've been waiting for your video since the People article came out yesterday. Beyond thankful to God she finally has the opportunity to be married and can build a life away from the Duggar property. The poor girl deserves happiness after everything she's had to go through the last several years. She looks so elated and natural in the photos - like they were meant to be together. ❤
After Jana got charged with endangering Josh and Anna's child, she was of no use to Jim Bob anymore. She had to move to a shed and couldnt be around the child anymore. So he might as well let her get married. Just my thoughts. Jana looked STUNNING. It looked like a beautiful ceremony ❤
@@ritasullivan1393 This is what Jana said while explaining the incident: "I was babysitting a few months ago when one of the children wandered outside alone. A passerby who saw the child called the police," she wrote. "This resulted in a written citation, as well as a follow-up with child welfare who concluded that it was an accident and the child was unharmed." "They recognized it was a case of a child slipping out of the house when you turn your back for a moment. It all happened so quickly and was scary. I am grateful for law enforcement and those who protect and serve our community," she went on. "I was certainly never arrested like some may have implied. In the end, I was just upset at myself that it had happened at all but so thankful it all ended safely and that's truly what mattered most to me."
They both seem very happy and tickled. I would describe it as quietly ecstatic. The wait was well worth it! ❤❤❤ I stopped watching the show years ago because of Jim Bob's greediness and having to maintain an unhealthy control over his family. I wonder if he made the other siblings pay him back the $180,000 for raising them, as he did to Jill. Jim Bob learned his character from his father. And the boys all seem to blindly follow him. Such a shame that Jim Bob carried the sickness on in his family, instead of recognizing it and ending the cycle. None of them are as strong as Jinger and Jill. Thank the Lord for Man's freewill!! Although these updated snippets of Jana give me hope! Congratulations! The happiness in both your eyes say it all. To a beautiful life together!!
My daughter will be 34 when she gets married next year. 😊 Just like Jana is. Jana looks absolutely beautiful. Her dress really surprised me. It is very revealing. She also looks so happy. I’m glad she’s moving away from Arkansas. I’m sure Stephen will teach her a great deal about the outside world. Congratulations finally Jana and Stephen!
Jessa and Joy both have commented where Jana is shy and very reserved. With that being said....her bridesmaids and best men were SO HAPPY FOR THEM. THE LOVE SHOWN WAS VERY REAL. I pray she is the next one to have twins.
Hopefully moving to Nebraska and away from her dad will undo the brainwashing by Jim Bob. Also it seems like his sisters are pretty independent too so they can be a good example for her.
Maybe Jana always liked Steven but he wasn’t conservative enough for JB. Now that’s she’s older maybe she made up her own mind and stood up for herself. We can only hope.
So happy for Jana. So happy that she wore a more modern dress. It suits her well. So glad that she waited and didn’t settle for less in choosing her husband. At 38 and single. I’m inpsired. Congratulations Jana and Steven. May God bless you both in your journey together ❤
Looking how she's been dressing the past few months (looking absolutely STUNNING btw.) I wonder if Jana's been rebelling, and I wonder if Stephen has given her an escape route. I'm not saying they're not in love; but I think there was a deeper meaning in their reason to marry. I personally get "supporting my wife in bettering herself" vibes with Jana's Husband.
Being married may be the support and protection she needs for her to branch out on her own. It may not be the traditional way, but it's a way that works for her based on her upbringing.
Wow the venue is beautiful! And I love Jana’s wedding dress! She looks really happy! I’m getting married In October this year and I’ll be 33 so i get it. I’m happy for Jana! ❤
I’m so happy for her. The Mennonites are very good people. Nothing like the IBLP. I also have double cousins….it’s wonderful. We are closer than the other cousins.
Yes, KJ, we needed a deep dive. Why did they break up initially? I loved her modern wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses too. She deserves that amazing wedding. Worth the wait!
I am so happy for them. Jana looks at him in a caring way not in an idolizing way like her sisters. Jana has always been herself, using her skills and learning new ones.
Wonder if she told JB either get off my back about what I want for my life and my wedding or I will spill the beans on you and the stuff that went on here for 34 yrs. 🤷🏼♀️
I love her dress. I love that the bridesmaids' dresses showed some shoulder/arms too. I love that they had a more typical reception. I hope it means the Wissmans are more mainstream, and not that it's a reward from Jim-Bob for her being the stay at home daughter for so long
She looked beautiful, her dress was gorgeous. I hope she has a happy, control free marriage.

I have a somewhat different take on this. I suspect that they genuinely loved each other and she let her dad and the family issues and the relationship then later regretted it. That they reconnected, and her being a bit older gave her the courage to not let it happen again. And that Jim Bob- having had his reputation tarnished by his refusal to bend on controlling his adult children- isn’t willing to risk that blow again. His pride won’t let him admit wrong going to Jill and relinquish his perceived authority, but his pride also won’t let him find himself in a situation where Janna finally stands up for himself and he’s publicly shamed by being booted from her life. I do agree that she’s giving this token interview as little as she can in an effort to preserve family relationships and Jim Bob wants himself a payday.
I think you're onto something here. Your take on it all seems, to me, to be the most logical.
People magazine can't make a contract with Jim Bob. Jana and her husband are adults in their thirties, not children with guardians. Simple common sense tells you that only Jana and Stephen signed the contract and cashed the check.
@@loriclark553 I think though that there’s a contract between Jana and the “families’” media company
@@mrsfred9988media company
I agree with your assessment. Jill Duggar wrote in her book "Counting the Cost" that the 1 thing she could not reconcile in her own mind or forgive her father for was the fact that Jim Bob, rather than to seek help for Josh's problem thru mental health therapy, he decided instead to cover it up by sending him off to work camps which obviously did not work. I also thought the narrator made an interesting comment during the interview Jana did all the talking while Stephen remained quiet. I do truly believe Jana and Stephen love each other, and it is a good thing that they will be living in Nebraska far away from Jim Bob's control and meddling. Stephen strikes me as being his own man (like Jill's husband Derek) and I believe he won't tolerate Jim Bob's meddling. I wish them all the happiness that they both so richly deserve.
Im shocked she's actually moving away from Arkansas!🙌
Thankfully, I wish them a new, wonderful life.
I'm thrilled!
Nebraska holds a special place in my heart, I hope she loves it there. I sure did 🥹
Wow she looks incredible! Congratulations Jana
The venue is stunning. Her dress is gorgeous and modern. I'm shocked that it is off the shoulder and low cut in the back. And they danced??? They danced!!!
Marrying into the same family is more common than you think. My mom and her 2 sisters married my dad and his 2 brothers. It made doing a family tree a lot easier! 😊
I love this so much!!!! Yay for Jana👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful lady!! Congratulations and wish you the best!! ❤❤
The photos are stunning. It sounds like Jana was able to do and wear what she wanted for her wedding. I hope she is happy
She is absolutely beautiful. Her dress was gorgeous!
Sure is❤😂😂
Im surprised Laura (De Macy?) wasnt a bridesmaid and Jill too but the wedding looked elegant and timeless. Happy for them both.
I was surprised Jana didn't marry Laura DeMaise.
@@TruckDriver2005 lol!
Agree . But at least Jill was at the wedding. a photo on Reddit showed Jill and Derrick there
Was waiting for this video! Thanks Katie! ❤️
In what looks like their engagement pictures, she looks genuinely happy. And then there’s that gorgeous wedding gown! IMO, this her FU to her father. I’m sure she didn’t want to do the interview-it appears to me that she prefers a quiet, private life.
She gave the exclusive to People Magazine because the paycheck would help them start their life together. Jim Bob is not her guardian, and would have no authority to sign a contract, or cash the check on her behalf.
I get the feeling Steven never stopped loving her but didn't want to pressure her because that would have ended badly. I think he was probably like if I stay her friend and prove that I will always be here, maybe she will realize that we are truly meant to be. The fact that they are friends will help them so much in marriage. Yes you have to be attracted to the person you marry but having a friendship first IMO is a massive advantage for marriage!!
The pics are beautiful. I can't believe they pulled that off in 2 months. Congratulations to the bride and goom!
That picture of them looking onto each othets eyes smiling says it all. Best friends make the best spouses. So happy for them both.
Jill paved the way and suffered the consequences of stepping away and making her own decisions for herself. The siblings should be indebted to her.
She looked beautiful in her wedding dress and they make a gorgeous couple. I understand why they didn’t get married a couple years ago during trial. Who’d want that criminal trial to overshadow their wedding. They did the right thing by waiting until the dust settled. I wish them nothing but happiness! 🎊❤️
I totally agree with you, and I wish them all the best too
People Magazine said that Jana and Stephen had a house they’ve been working on already. I’m so thankful she’s getting away from the Duggars. I hope she stays away. She may have the next book, who knows? I personally wish Jana would go to college and get a degree. She’s plenty smart enough.
I believe she's in nursing school?
I’d be happy if she had high school!!
She’s completed one year of nursing school per People magazine..made deans list at NWACC
Omg her dress is STUNNING!!!
No alcohol but Champagne color dresses! Perfect 😂
Lincoln is a lovely town. Home to University of Nebraska, so she could certainly continue her education if she wishes.
I REALLY hope she does. I have always wanted her to get a degree.
So happy for Jana!!! Her dress is gorgeous on her!
Coming from someone who married to “get out of the parent’s house”, I hope she married for the right reasons . I guess it takes what it takes to get out.
She is truly escaping a cult-within-a-cult, the Duggar cult within the IBLP cult.
I sure hope he’s not a Gothard follower.
I don’t think he is. They are Mennonites from what I’ve heard.
He’s Mennonite, not IBLP, but still conservative.
@@VerdantSquareradical not conservative
The Duggars have a commercial kitchen in the back of the house in addition to the open concept kitchen off the great room,so I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t allow the Wissmann’s to use the commercial kitchen for the wedding reception prep since it was such an important part of the reception and by having the Wissmann’s do all that work it actually saved Jib Bob a ton on catering.
Jana don't feel like you gotta pop out them babies ASAP. Enjoy your husband and married life and ENJOY JUST BEING OUT OF THAT DISGUSTING HOUSE OF HORRORS
Not to mention she's already raised at least 12 of JB and Michelle's children.
@@elinebrock5660 Agreed! I will not be surprised if she decides not to have any children after what she's been through.
If she wants to have children, that’s wonderful. People act like being a mother is degrading and undesirable.
If she wants children then waiting at 34 is not a good idea especially if you haven't already had any.
@user-kn6nv5hg9z For me, being a mother has been my first, best destiny. I love every second of it. Being a mom is only second to being a grandmother. I just feel that Jana was forced to be the mother to almost all of her siblings. She may feel like she doesn't want to raise any more kids. If that is how she feels, then I don't want her to feel pressured to have kids.
Jana for the WIN!! Best dress, best ring, best venue, best wedding and top notch taste! Hands down she won all of it! I’m super happy for her, also making a prediction that they only have 2 kids
@sjay7209 I think she will have 2 kids too.
I am happy for Jana! I hope that she has a wonderful and blessed life! The big Duggar house is REALLY going to miss all of the work that she did! ❤️🙏✌🏻
I’m glad the rumors were true and I hope she moves far away from Arkansa. Her dress was STUNNING! I was surprised at all the skin.. and she made a gorgeous bride. Prettiest of all the sisters, IMO
I would NEVER put out anything about the Duggars without proof. So I was CONFIDENT reporting all of this
She's moving to Nebraska, it's in the People article.
Yes it is. The article says that Jana and Stephen have already been working on a house there.
@@WithoutACrystalBall calm down. 😂 and it’s still a rumor until the parties involved confirm
I am shocked she is married! Guess papa Duggar figured he had no choice, but to let her go.
Let's pray JB did not force them to sign NDA's
@@elizabethbesco4758 amen!
I am glad JB no longer owns her! Of course knowing that narcissist, he may own her and her husband now. And God did want her to marry later since JB thinks he is God.
@elizabethbesco4758 OH, you know he did. Or at least tried to. If Jana was smart, she would have refused by saying that if he tried to force that, she would spill her guts to People. JB can't afford another scandal. She would have a lot of control that way.
Probably because the remaining children are older now
I think the groom and his family paid for most of the wedding. So happy she is moving away to Nebraska too. Hopefully Hannah and Jeremiah follow them.
Why would u think this?? Heard somthing from someone??
@@foofookachoo1136people mag ….his parents did the food, jb is too cheap
Yes, why would Boob pay for a wedding. Most of the other weddings were paid for by TLC.
I thought her dress was elegant and fitting for her age. She has moved past the young girl look and she looked fabulous!
Wedding venues that I've been to often have onsite industrial kitchens. Anyway, Jana looked beautiful! Like a fairytale Princess along with her handsome Prince! I wish them much love and happiness throughout their lives! I'm SO happy that she and Stephen also had a first dance together! Good for them, doing the wedding their way! ✨🤍🤍✨
This is the best news EVER and I've been waiting for your video since the People article came out yesterday. Beyond thankful to God she finally has the opportunity to be married and can build a life away from the Duggar property. The poor girl deserves happiness after everything she's had to go through the last several years. She looks so elated and natural in the photos - like they were meant to be together. ❤
After Jana got charged with endangering Josh and Anna's child, she was of no use to Jim Bob anymore. She had to move to a shed and couldnt be around the child anymore. So he might as well let her get married. Just my thoughts. Jana looked STUNNING. It looked like a beautiful ceremony ❤
Maybe a blessing that set her free>
@@tina_miss_da_meana my thoughts also. I am happy for her.
@@johnbrooks8258 yes!! Exactly. I'm sure it was horrifying at the time, but could have been the turning point that set her free. ❤️
What happened… I have missed this …. What was Jana charged with endangering a child ???
@@ritasullivan1393 This is what Jana said while explaining the incident:
"I was babysitting a few months ago when one of the children wandered outside alone. A passerby who saw the child called the police," she wrote. "This resulted in a written citation, as well as a follow-up with child welfare who concluded that it was an accident and the child was unharmed."
"They recognized it was a case of a child slipping out of the house when you turn your back for a moment. It all happened so quickly and was scary. I am grateful for law enforcement and those who protect and serve our community," she went on. "I was certainly never arrested like some may have implied. In the end, I was just upset at myself that it had happened at all but so thankful it all ended safely and that's truly what mattered most to me."
Her engagement ring is beautiful and so was she.
They both seem very happy and tickled. I would describe it as quietly ecstatic. The wait was well worth it! ❤❤❤
I stopped watching the show years ago because of Jim Bob's greediness and having to maintain an unhealthy control over his family. I wonder if he made the other siblings pay him back the $180,000 for raising them, as he did to Jill. Jim Bob learned his character from his father. And the boys all seem to blindly follow him. Such a shame that Jim Bob carried the sickness on in his family, instead of recognizing it and ending the cycle. None of them are as strong as Jinger and Jill. Thank the Lord for Man's freewill!! Although these updated snippets of Jana give me hope!
Congratulations! The happiness in both your eyes say it all. To a beautiful life together!!
My daughter will be 34 when she gets married next year. 😊 Just like Jana is. Jana looks absolutely beautiful. Her dress really surprised me. It is very revealing. She also looks so happy. I’m glad she’s moving away from Arkansas. I’m sure Stephen will teach her a great deal about the outside world. Congratulations finally Jana and Stephen!
Jessa and Joy both have commented where Jana is shy and very reserved. With that being said....her bridesmaids and best men were SO HAPPY FOR THEM. THE LOVE SHOWN WAS VERY REAL. I pray she is the next one to have twins.
Hopefully moving to Nebraska and away from her dad will undo the brainwashing by Jim Bob. Also it seems like his sisters are pretty independent too so they can be a good example for her.
She looked like a princess. Her dress was gorgeous!
Maybe Jana always liked Steven but he wasn’t conservative enough for JB. Now that’s she’s older maybe she made up her own mind and stood up for herself. We can only hope.
Good for you Jana! I hope that you and Stephen are very happy and enjoy your life together!
So happy for Jana. So happy that she wore a more modern dress. It suits her well. So glad that she waited and didn’t settle for less in choosing her husband. At 38 and single. I’m inpsired. Congratulations Jana and Steven. May God bless you both in your journey together ❤
So happy for Jana! She has waited so long! May their marriage be blessed! Katie - nice job reporting this post! 😊
Looking how she's been dressing the past few months (looking absolutely STUNNING btw.) I wonder if Jana's been rebelling, and I wonder if Stephen has given her an escape route. I'm not saying they're not in love; but I think there was a deeper meaning in their reason to marry. I personally get "supporting my wife in bettering herself" vibes with Jana's Husband.
Similar, really, to Jill and Derrick.
I was 30 when i got married!! I wanted to get married before 30… but oh well lol. Just happy it happened!! ❤
Being married may be the support and protection she needs for her to branch out on her own. It may not be the traditional way, but it's a way that works for her based on her upbringing.
They make a beautiful couple. Wishing them both all the happiness in the world. 🎉❤️
Wow the venue is beautiful! And I love Jana’s wedding dress! She looks really happy! I’m getting married In October this year and I’ll be 33 so i get it. I’m happy for Jana! ❤
Have a beautiful life Alicia
They look really happy. She truly deserves all the happiness.
I'm so happy for them both. Jana deserves to be happy
She sure does❤😂😂❤
I’m so happy for her. The Mennonites are very good people. Nothing like the IBLP. I also have double cousins….it’s wonderful. We are closer than the other cousins.
My sister and I married brothers and it’s so lovely to share in both families together
Yes, KJ, we needed a deep dive. Why did they break up initially? I loved her modern wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses too. She deserves that amazing wedding. Worth the wait!
I am so happy for them. Jana looks at him in a caring way not in an idolizing way like her sisters. Jana has always been herself, using her skills and learning new ones.
They make a stunning couple, absolutely beautiful and that dress is gorgeous on her! I hope they will be very happy together.
Wonder if she told JB either get off my back about what I want for my life and my wedding or I will spill the beans on you and the stuff that went on here for 34 yrs. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes! I think that's why she got to wear that dress and have a first dance.
It's hardly "shocking". I am so happy for Jana and Stephen. May God richly bless their union..
I love her dress. I love that the bridesmaids' dresses showed some shoulder/arms too. I love that they had a more typical reception. I hope it means the Wissmans are more mainstream, and not that it's a reward from Jim-Bob for her being the stay at home daughter for so long
