Jana Surprises Stephen

Now that Jana Duggar is Mrs. Stephen Wissmann, let's look back at the couple's relationship. After dating for a short time a few years ago, Jana and Stephen went their separate ways. They each continued to live where they grew up, close to their (much larger than average) families. According to People Magazine, Jana started nursing school last year. 

Then in early 2024, Stephen reached back out to Jana in the form of a handwritten letter. They rekindled their friendship, and Jana says she quickly fell in love with him. The engagement followed on June 15th, and the wedding took place exactly two months later at a beautiful venue (The Grand at Willow Springs) near her family's Northwest Arkansas home. The couple will start their new live together in Nebraska.

Jana just uploaded a video to YouTube that shows her making a surprise visit to Stephen while they were dating. Johannah Duggar, 18, and Jennifer Duggar, 16, went along to chaperone and help their sister drive through the night.  

To see photos from the beautiful wedding, including shots of Jana with each of her parents, visit the People Magazine website.

Jana and Stephen dated briefly a few years ago but broke it off, remaining friends until they reconnected earlier this year. Jana reveals that it was difficult watching ten of her younger siblings tie the knot while she waited for her prince charming, but she says that her faith has remained strong.
