There's going to be another Duggar wedding! Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are engaged after 11 months of courting. According to People magazine, Seewald popped the question on Thursday, Aug. 14.
"Congrats to Ben & Jessa on their engagement! So excited for y'all," the Duggar family posted on Twitter.
The 21-year-old "19 Kids & Counting" star already changed her last name to Seewald on Instagram and posted a photo of the two along with the caption, "I admire this man with all my heart! @ben_seewald, you're absolutely the best!"
Jessa, just like her recently married sister Jill Duggar, won't be able to share her first kiss with Seewald until they are husband and wife. The Duggar family, who is very conservative Christians, doesn't engage in physical activity while they are courting someone.
Once engaged, the couple can hold hands but a first kiss is saved for the wedding day.
"We do have a lot in common," Jessa told People back when she and Seewald were still courting. "He is a mellow personality, very romantic and very sweet. I am very cut and dried. And my sisters coaching me on sweet romantic things to say."
Now that the couple is engaged, Jessa is busy planning her wedding and told People that she wants to have a big family, just like her parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. As for how many kids Jessa wants, she said she'll leave the number "up to God."
"We are talking about our goals and even just like future, with family, we both talked about adoptions," Jessa told People. "We are open to having children and both want to adopt, too."
