Exclusive PICS: Jana Duggar is MARRIED! Jana & Stephen Wissmann MARRY AFTER SECRETIVE ENGAGEMENT

[@carolynholody9281]

I hope that Jana and Stephen are very happy together, and that they move to Nebraska- far away from JimBob and Michelle. Let Anna raise her own kids- it’s time for Jana to find some peace and happiness!😊👍

[@innocentnemesis3519]

For real, Jana deserves her own life!

[@marwatson7408]

Yes hopefully she moves far away from her parents and follows in Jills footsteps.

[@RoyallyMessy]

I wish them much happiness! Hopefully Jana will have the life she wants with her new husband. I often wondered if she waited until her siblings were all old enough that she felt comfortable leaving home. She spent so much of their lives being a de facto parent, she probably felt a need to protect them to a certain age. Best wishes on her wedding!!

It may seem minor to you, but this spelling is extremely important to men named Stephen. Trust me, I know.

[@jiggsinthesewifistreets]

U know what just popped in my head. After taking care of ALL her siblings for so many years what if she PURPOSELY held off til she hit an age where she knew her chances of having a family of ten plus will dwindle😳 I know we can have babies til our 40s but at this age it’s most likely she’ll wind up with a small family. I dont know but that theory just popped in my head like what if she waited on purpose so she WONT wind up like her Mom n have a large amount of kids

I’ve known for months they were engaged. After the public weddings her siblings have had, it’s refreshing to see she got to have her private engagement and wedding.

I am told by several people that NDA really don't have much clout anymore - I hope Jana and Stephen will look into that before blindly believing what JB may tell them.

[@cherylregier1636]

Mennonites are nothing like IBLP. I married a Mennonite and we raised our children in the Mennonite church. There are NO restrictions with how you dress. It’s a personable choice. Having said that, there is a faction that are Amish Mennonite that have a more strict dress code, but that isn’t the majority of the church.

[@marybeery1764]

Exactly, I was raised Mennonite without restrictions like IBLP. She will be fine.

[@lisabelliveau5804]

Mennonites are pacifist and I don’t even know if they vote. Also, they are missionaries all over the world and tend to be interested in and knowledgeable about other cultures

[@onetoughnoodle8213]

Came here for this info because where I'm at the only Mennonites I'm familiar with are the Amish ones! Thought that was the whole sect and that's just what Mennonites practiced in general lol. Like Amish but they're allowed to drive and have electricity lol. Never knew that!

[@peppergrinder8947]

I was raised Mennonite too, there are different sects for sure 😊

[@janicejeandron7239]

I just met a mennonite family when I rented them a car and they dinitely had Perry dresses and their hair covered with a small white see through cloth in the back. They weren’t as much as Amish because their dresses were colorful. I even asked them if they were a part of the Mennonite community. her showing her shoulders and wearing her wedding dress like she did that’s not Mennonite. mennonite is just like Amish. They use modern technology and are a little different than the Amish.

I think Jana has more freedom than we think. Most of the Duggars wear pants and shorts now. I think this is a love match as they dated and split and got back together. Per People they are moving to Nebraska. I am thrilled for her. I see these two living a life more similar to Jinger and Jeremy. The Duggars have relaxed more I think. Even Jessa wears pants and lives a less strict life. In fact all of the girls are less strict in their lifestyle than as they were raised. Happy day for her.
