Jessa Duggar engagement ring debuted online Monday. The first photo came few days after the 21-year-old reality TV star, announced that she was engaged to boyfriend Ben Seewald who is 19.
The star of TLC’s hit show “19 Kids and Counting” is not showing the whole ring yet, but what she unveiled earlier this week is still pretty nice.
Jessa Duggar’s engagement ring is the latest episode in an 11-month courtship that started in September. Courting is considered different than dating in the Duggar family.
While two people dating can spend time alone do discover more about each other, in courtship the two families are heavily involved in the mechanisms of the relationship. This means that the interaction between the potential lovers is extremely limited. This process is very popular in conservative and religious circles. The Duggars have always clearly stated that faith and values were important to them.
When Jessa and her future husband Ben, put out a statement on Friday sharing the big news with the world, God was mentioned. The newly engaged pair was thanking him for all the blessing he put on their way.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s third daughter seems to be really in love with her fiancé. Jessa posted one very sweet message along with one of the two photos, she uploaded on Instagram. It read:
Y’all! I still can’t believe it! I’M ENGAGED TO THE MOST AMAZING GUY ON EARTH! Every time I look down at the ring on my finger…it takes my breath away! I love you, @ben_seewald!
The new
After the engagement statement was made public, the young woman also changed her handles on social media to Jessa Seewald. No date has been given for the couple’s upcoming wedding ceremony. According to our sources it will probably take place in the next three months.
This will mark the second big marriage in the Duggar clan this year after Jill Michelle wed Derick Dillard in June. Jill and Derick only had their first real kiss after exchanging their vows.
Jessa and Ben who met in church will probably follow the same path. The soon-to-be-married couple wants to have a large family.
