All the Stunning Photos from Jana Duggar’s ‘Elegant, Classic’ Wedding to Stephen Wissmann (Exclusive)

The Bride with Her Bridesmaids

The Counting On alum chose Jessa Duggar Seewald to serve as her maid of honor. For bridesmaids, she selected her sister-in-law, Abbie Duggar, and sisters Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar.

A Dream Come True

“I think it is one of those things that all girls envision someday,“ Jana told PEOPLE of her wedding two days before the ceremony. “For me, it felt like, 'Okay, it's never coming.' But now it's starting to sink in. Reality is starting to set in. And I'm like, 'Wow, this truly is something that I've dreamed of.' And just to see it coming about is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It's a dream come true."

Happy Groom

Jana and Stephen (pictured), who got engaged on June 15, have been longtime friends — with Jana's brother, Jeremiah, marrying Stephen's sister, Hannah, in 2022.

Gorgeous Venue

The couple wed at The Grand at Willow Springs, a venue in Prairie Grove that Jana described as “gorgeous and picturesque.”

Hand in Hand

"I haven't always understood what the bigger picture is, but I know that God knows what is best for all of us. And so for me, it's getting married later," Jana told PEOPLE, referring to having watched her siblings get married before her.

“I mean, I've watched all them walk through that, and then now me walking through this, and it is different, but we are older,” she added. “We are in a different stage of life. We're a little bit more established, so we're a little bit more stubborn, but it's good. We're learning. We're growing. And it's been different, but it is been so sweet."

A Moment with Mom

Jana is the eldest daughter of Michelle Duggar and Jim Bob Duggar's 19 kids. Here they spend a moment together on the bride's wedding day.

A Bit Like a Princess

Cake Time!

Dessert was a three-tier cake with lemon raspberry filling as well as cupcakes. For dinner, the groom's family had prepared chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls and coleslaw.

Happy Together

"Coming from two bigger families, we love to be able to get together and celebrate moments like these, and so to have all of them there, it just means a lot," Jana said.
