Fans of the entertaining-if-controversial reality series couldn’t help feeling a bit nostalgic.
But as with all events in this family, some peculiar details stand out.
See how this latest trip down the aisle is different from the previous nine Duggar weddings.
Jana’s marriage is even more of a family affair.
(Confused yet?)
But Jason and Maddie found each other in the most 21st-century of ways: online.
Jason and Maddie kept to his family tradition.
They went Instagram-official in May 2024, making it clear that other announcements would soon follow.
Pretty typical for a Duggar union.
Keep in mind that the couple had only just met before New Year’s Eve 2023 and online.
Some of us have held on longer to jars of mayonnaise in the fridge.
Jason, too, has decided to follow his own conscience on some issues.
For instance, his pre-engagementInstagramphotos with Maddie show them in a front embrace and even posing piggyback.
The wedding also featured a dance hour, another activity frowned upon by their childhood faith group.
(Wiggling body parts was considered too suggestive.)
One other part of the wedding broke with tradition in a different way.
(Only oldest brother Josh, still doing time in prison, was absent.)
Eight of the sisters and brothers were in the wedding party.
Among the guests was older sisterJill Duggar Dillard.
Some Duggar followers might have been surprised to see Jill among the guests.
Her tell-all, “Counting the Cost,” was also rumored to have caused divisions within the family.
We’ll just have to stay tuned for further developments.
