The announcement comes almost exactly a year after Duggar and Wissmann were married in a “classic, elegant” ceremony on August 15, 2024, in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. The wedding took place at The Grand at Willow Springs and was attended by 500 guests. Jana’s sister Jessa Duggar Seewald served as maid of honor, while other family members, including Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, Jordyn Duggar, and sister-in-law Abbie Duggar, were bridesmaids.

In a pre-wedding interview with PEOPLE, Duggar spoke about how the experience felt surreal after years of wondering whether she would ever get married. “It felt like, ‘Okay, it’s never coming.’ But now it’s starting to sink in,” she said. “It’s a dream come true.”

Duggar also shared that she had initially been cautious about falling in love, but Wissmann’s patience and consistent support helped build trust. “He must really, genuinely care about me,” she said, adding that he never pressured her and remained a steady presence through life’s ups and downs.
