Seewald Shower for Jessa and Ben

The Seewald family threw a last-minute shower for Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald in time for their November 1st wedding. Here are a few pictures from the event:

Both the Duggars and Seewalds are big Razorback fans!

  22. I'm wondering how Jim Bob is holding up. I felt so bad for him watching his reactions in different scenes of Jill's wedding. Best wishes to the happy couple! We shall be celebrating along with you on Saturday.

  23. Are Jessa and Ben having a big wedding? It doesn't seem like we've heard much about it

  24. Where are they going to live? Downstairs at Jill & Derick?

  30. Jessa's lovely - she looks so much better than few years ago with the perm and stuff. And, mae no mistake, she had been very preety even back then.
    I wish I had her hair:) But Ben seems so very young - I mean, he's younger than me and I can't imagine marrying IN YEARS. Yet, I do wish them joy - and happiness.

  31. They're such a lovely couple! So blessed to have found each other. That shower looked very fun and intimate, very different from Jill's! It's awesome how all the girls are different!
    Jessa & Ben <3

  32. Isn't it usually the brides family or her friends and bridesmaids that usually throw the shower? Why did his family have to do it last minute.I just hope they get equal attention that Jill did.It seems like Ben gets a little less respect from the Duggar brothers and JB.I wonder why?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love this family! Can't wait to see Jessa's wedding too! So exciting! And thks for this blog! Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Congratulations. The photos are lovely. Glad you had a great time.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Looks like a very nice event, I must say, Jessa is marrying into a very good looking family.

    ReplyDelete
  36. So do they watch sports on TV now? Before they were not allowed to watch any TV

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love to watch your show. Love the family and your Christian values.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Two things, why on the invitation are Jessa's parents listed as "Mr. & Mrs." while Ben's are listed using their first and last name and why do these families use so much plasticware/styrofoam when serving a meal???

    ReplyDelete

    1. I would say the invitations are worded that way because the bride's parents are the ones paying for most, if not all, of it. So in essence it's "their" place to invite people to the wedding they are paying for. As for the plastic and styrofoam, it's cheap, convenient & easy to clean up!

  39. Nice to see Jessa getting some attention. I really feel this couple is getting short changed by both families

  40. Congratulations and best wishes!

  41. Congratulations You Two!!!!!!! God bless you!!

  42. Why didn't they get all the attention and big showers like Jill/ Derick??? Seems sad that we haven't seen the step by step planning for them also... Seems so unfair. Have watched the show since the beginning but did get pretty burn out on Jill / Derick wedding.... Will ya'll be doing that with any of your other children???

    ReplyDelete
  43. YEAH!!!!! Thank you I love Jessa and am so excited for her thank you so much

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am wondering why we have'nt heard much at all about jessa's wedding? I love hearing about jill and derick but it would be nice to hear about jessa and ben too. Has anyone seen them hold hands?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Soup at a shower? I love it! Nothing like healthy comfort food to keep at bay the cravings for more sweet foods......looking forward to reports on the wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Congratulations Jessa and Ben!! I'm so excited for you both and hope and pray that the sun shines brightly on the beautiful bride and her handsome honey on Saturday. God bless you both!!

  50. God's blessings to both of you as you start your life journey together. Treasure each other, and enjoy the time you have with just the two of you before those beautiful babies start to arrive. Keep God first in your lives, and look to the wonderful example your parents have set for you both.

  52. Anxious to see if Josiah will be more involved in Jessas wedding.I hope we start to see more of him.All this chatter about his absence has got have ventured his way.I miss his funny personality, i hope nothing has happened to change that.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ok, why would the Seewalds have thrown a "last minute" shower for Jessa? Wasn't it well planned? and why wouldn't it have been expected to be when they were engaged?

    ReplyDelete
  54. That food table looked classy with all the different kinds of soups. The cupcakes on the dessert table were also nicely displayed. Too bad they couldn't have something like this for their wedding reception. Beautiful presentation and delicious looking food!

  55. Congratulations to Jessa and Ben!! Hope you have many years of happiness.

  56. Glad to finally see Jessa get some attention. Love to both of you. Hope you have a wonderful wedding day and life together.

  57. Are you sure these two aren't already married? Maybe they eloped. The banner reads Mr. and Mrs. and no one seems to be busy planning or thinking about this wedding. Strange. I remember the original date was Oct. 1st so maybe they already got married on that date but because Jill's hadn't aired yet on TLC they didn't want to confuse fans. I just don't understand why no one in Jessa's family is discussing her wedding if it is tomorrow. Aren't they as excited for her as they were Jill's? Lily and Ellie, I guess you would know when the wedding is. Are you invited? Are you going to post pics?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Beautiful couple! So happy to see such a loving couple that follows the Lord.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Does Ben have a job? Where they are going to live?
    Josh and Anna married when they both were 20, but Josh had that used car dealership already. Ben seems to not have any job. I'm almost concerned for Jessa that if she gets pregnant right away, the young family won't have means to live.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I am so happy for Jessa and Ben. I've followed this family for years and am so inspired by their faithful devotion to Jesus and to their family. God Bless them for being such good stewards of the gift of marriage and children. Many of us may never enjoy have the experience of having wholesome, God-honoring children .... but we can still be happy for those who do. (Mary)

    ReplyDelete
  61. May you marriage be blessed with love and happiness. I think you two are aeesome!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Maybe it is better for them to marry now and not push things any further (wink) some of the other things can work themselves out, but they have always seemed really really taken with each other and perhaps it is better to be together in God's eyes and let Him supply the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I'm sure Ben has a job !! Jim Bob is a very wise father an like he mentioned in Jill's wedding segment that if Derick wasn't a proven provider an a Godly fit for Jill he would step in an stop it ! I'm sure the same goes for Ben too !! I do hope we get to see their wedding !! I know she is going to be so beautiful !!!👰💕

    ReplyDelete
  64. I am happy for jessa and ben but they don't seem to be as happy as jill and derick are about their upcoming marriage. I hope they are getting married out of love and not out of need. I don't mean being pregnant either. its as if they are being pushed into it. anyway I wish you both the best.

  65. I was saddened to see that, the shower, was rushed at the last minute. God bless you both.

  66. That's an amazing looking shower you had there. Thanks for allowing us the privalige to see these pictures. You guys look amazing.

  67. the chicken noodle soup looks delish

    ReplyDelete
  68. How is Ben's Aunt Amy related to him, and does his extended family follow the same strict conservative beliefs as Ben's parents? ie, no pants, no working, babies constantly?

    ReplyDelete
  69. @Melody Crawford @43----Ben quit whatever job he had when he moved into his warehouse apartment on the Duggar land. Jim Bob is apparently going to pay him to help around the property. Not sure how that fits into to JimBob and Michelle's standards that the husband must be able to provide for his wife and many blessings to come????

    Hi Anonymous 77,

    The Seewalds live about 3.5 hours south of the Duggars in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

  75. I'm confused. Was this a shower or a party given by the Seewald? A party is cool but if the family gave a shower for one of their own that is not proper etiquette.

    ReplyDelete
  76. What a party!!! I have to say that food looked delicious!!!!!!!!!
