Jill Duggar Was Part of Jana Duggar’s wedding and says she wouldn’t have missed it.

On Thursday, August 15, Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann, confirming recent leaks about their secret wedding plans.

The wedding party included several members of the bride’s huge family – including at least one sister-in-law.

However, Jill Duggar was not a bridesmaid, leading fans to wonder if she even received an invitation.

Although Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann did not share the wedding news with their fans, they celebrated their wedding with 500 guests.

Jana’s bridesmaids included Joy-Anna Duggar, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar and Jordyn Duggar. Sister-in-law Abbie Duggar was also one of her bridesmaids.

Fans noticed that Jill Duggar was not part of the wedding party. Given her status as the “black sheep” of the family after speaking out against the Duggar cult, fans wondered if Jana simply didn’t invite her.

However, Jill Duggar was present at Jana’s wedding. And so was her husband Derick Dillard.

On Instagram, Jill shared photos and videos from Jana and Stephen’s wedding. In the post, we see Jill and Derick posing next to the newlyweds. They even appear with the extended Duggar family.

Most couples struggle to fill 500 seats at a wedding. In the fundamentalist world, a widely dispersed extended family means that, as Jill said in a comment, “space was tight” and her three children were therefore absent.

Derick and Jill wouldn’t have missed Jana’s wedding for anything in the world

In the comments, Jill Duggar said she “wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

She also confirmed in another comment: “Yes, we were invited. She was a beautiful bride.”

Jill said: “We wish them all the best.”

In addition, Jill Duggar said that several members of the crew of 19 children and counting And Count on created the guest list.

Fortunately, Jana’s older brother Josh was unable to attend. He is in prison where he belongs. Strangely, his wife Anna Duggar did make the guest list. Inviting her would have been a big deal either way, and it’s often best to show kindness to someone who finds themselves in an unfortunate situation. Many would argue that Anna is a victim too – of the cult’s rules and of Josh’s many betrayals.

The wedding broke with tradition within the notorious family

Jana and Stephen’s wedding was accompanied by some tenderness. The bride’s dress was beautiful and exposed her shoulders.

And Jill Duggar herself pointed out in Instagram comments that it was “the first Duggar wedding with a first dance!”

Jana Duggar is moving to her new home out of state with Stephen, so in many ways this wedding may have been the family’s farewell.
