I was very excited to hear Jana got married. I was like her. I was 39 (3 months from 40) when I married and had never been married. Waiting is hard, but God does reward those who wait. I am now 55 with a 14 yo and a 12 yo.
@@Sunny-sy2xl I am praying for you. God WILL send the right one to you, keep your hopes up. I know it’s hard, but God will provide and answer your prayers. ❤
Right? Plus,Jana can do anything..she's like McGiver lol. Stephen seems pretty handy too so I can't wait to see how they transform their "fixer-upper" home
I'm 32 and just got married 3 months ago. I am the last of all my best friends to get married. Sometimes I would get discouraged, but I new God would bring my husband along at the right time. God is so faithful even in the waiting!
I’m in the same boat! It was getting hard being the girl who planned friends’ bridal showers, attended weddings, then helped with baby showers, while wondering when your own turn would come. But God is so faithful!! We married at 29 and 31, and what was crazy was that we grew up in the same homeschool group but never spoke to each other until I started working at the restaurant his parents own. God’s plans are so much better than ours. ♥️
My sister was 30 when she married. She was so lonely for so long. Sadly, finding a good Christian man nowadays is not an easy task. We prayed for years that God would send the right man into her life. When she was 29, my parents had our old furnace and duct work replaced. It took a couple of days to complete the job. My sister was friendly with the installers. On the last day of the job, one of them asked her out. They hit it off right away. A few months later, my sister and her boyfriend brought his parents over for a dinner with my parents. His mom hugged our mom and cried a little bit. Their family had been praying for years that God would send a decent Christian woman into their son’s life. It was an answered prayer for everyone. Almost sixteen years later, they are still happily married and have two terrific children. God is good!
@@malissahess5082 🙏 I'll pray that God sends the woman who is perfect for him. I pray regularly for God to prepare a good Christian spouse for each of my grandchildren. They're 21, 13 and 9, so there's no rush. But I'm praying that he molds each one to be a wonderful, compatible, loving, supportive spouse and parent.
Love Jana!! She was a stunning bride! 👰🏼 I’m 34 and got married on 1/27/24 🥰 Best day of my life and so glad I didn’t settle for the people in the past. God knew what He was doing when I asked Him to choose 🥰
Watching you as a young girl and now a married lady...brings joy to this great grammas heart. The minute you introduced Jeremy into your life, was perfect...he is so gentle and speaks from his heart. Love the podcasts!
I really enjoyed this video. We've been married almost 50 years in December. I was a Vietnam war widow when we married with no children. Two of my current sister in-laws worked across the hall where I worked + matched us up. We had a boy + a girl who are both married adults now + blessed us with 5 grandchildren. We are all Christians + continue to trust God with our lives. Communication is important+ the simple times of life... spontaneous...like jumping in the car + going for an ice cream cone or going for walks together. Blessings; Gran of 5!
Jeremy, I have to say, I really admire the way that you talk about God and your faith. I am not a religious person, and sometimes it can feel as though others are trying to shove their beliefs down my throat, to force me to see things their way. You are just so gifted in how you speak, and express your faith, it is a pleasure to listen to you and hear what you have to say. It is also amazing to see how Jinger has grown and changed, like she has blossomed to her full unique self in your love. You guys are amazing
This is a very accurate comment. I am not a very religious person either, but I find Jeremy (and Jinger, for that matter) to be so easy to listen to and it brings a smile to my face to hear their sincerity and happiness when talking about their beliefs.
Jesus wasn’t religious either. He rebuked the religious people and it was the religious people who plotted his death. Jesus is about a relationship, not religion! Hope you seek Him and get to know Him before it is too late.
he’s really grown to respect her , at least in the public view .. i feel like when they first started doing social media & speaking episodes .. he wouldn’t listen to her & would talk over her ..but when she wrote the book .. it was game changer the way he talked to her
@Nehor-90BChardly! And people need to understand what the word “narcissistic” actually means. He is always respectful, treats her in a way she never was treated before, and has always treated her as an a true intelligent adult. This couple has been able to build their independent lives because he was and is mature and so in love with her!
I’ve been praying that she would find someone worthy of her!! She is wonderful, and deserved so much better than what she was given growing up! I wish her a lifetime of happiness!!💐
Can i just say that Jeremy you made an excellent point in this conversation! I have been waiting patiently praying for the last 2 months about a situation I had at work and TODAY it worked out in my favor! So many times i wanted to say to myself move on it’s not happening but immediately remembered that my faith is bigger than my fear !!! Thank you for the reminder ❤
J & J I have been following the Duggar family and I love seeing all the updates. So happy for Jana she looked amazing and so happy! God Bless your family ❤
For our wedding, nine years in December, one of our friends said, "Your reception is your first meal as a couple, and you can celebrate with all the people you love." We loved that. Serving your wedding guests is so true. So long as we were married, the rest is a bonus/ gravy.
Congratulations, Jana and Stephen!! Many happy years ahead for both of you!! My husband and I have been married for 41 years. We had a small wedding, and the one thing we both incorporated in our wedding service was taking our first communion together as husband and wife. That was very special to the both of us!!
Our wedding was very small; just 75 people. It was also very sweet, but even so, we weren’t able to spend time with every person. I don’t think weddings are designed to be able to do that! The thing I remember is a friend told me to take snapshots in my mind of special moments during the day. I did, and those are the moments I remember now, 35 years later. They’re especially sweet to me now because I lost my husband to cancer five years ago-too soon. I cherish those memories. I’m so very happy for Jana and Stephen! Jana looked beautiful and very, very happy! You could feel the love and happiness emanating from inside both of them!
I was married when I was 18 years old . 45 people very intimate married for 42 years the best years of my life . Congratulations. To Jana & Steven . ❤❤
Jana is very special! She is the total package! She is beautiful and the wisest of all the Duggars❤She is a true example to others! I wish her a life full of health and happiness and countless blessings from God❤
Ii is such a joy to "sit" with the two of you, sharing memories, giving the LORD credit for His love and guidance; thank you for letting us be a part of your life!
I was VERY encouraged to see Jana get married! I’m a single lady at 32 and it can be very hard to have to keep waiting for God’s timing, especially when Iv seen other friends and family get married and start families. I know it will happen for me and seeing it happen for her gave me hope! ❤️ plus it was such a gorgeous wedding!!! So happy for Jana!!!
Oh yes! All of us who have followed your family for years & prayed for Jana & watched her beautiful caring spirit with the rest of her siblings-(particularly as many got married) are shedding tears of joy❣️ Just listening to this wonderful discussion of her wedding brings tears….thank you Jesus ❤️🙏
Imagine having a supportive husband like Jeremy 😢😢 I've prayed to God to bring a faithful, caring, honest, Christian man in my life! I'm 55 now and feel the way Jana did for so many years
❤I screamed/cried when I found out Jana got married..I was so happy she finally found her prince charming..but why was it such a huge secret? Everyone else got to tell the world but hers was hush hush.❤I'm so happy she finally got her dream come true❤
❤❤❤❤We love Jana!!!! She's such a beautiful, inside and out, soul. I have followed her for years and longed to see her get married. She feels like a siblings. Jana may God continue to bless your union for all eternity. Blessings in abundance ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just got married at the age of 45! Long wait but God is amazing and brought the perfect man for me into my life! We actually planned things specifically for our guests at the wedding. One being everything was at the same location. We greeted each guest after the wedding then had everyone go to the reception and eat whie we got pictures. This way they weren't starved waiting on us and they were entertained. We didn't eat until after almost everyone left and things were being cleaned up. Also we had filled and plain cupcakes, brownie bites and personal cheesecake.
I'm 42 and STILL not married. My time might come... or it might not. I will be gracious either way. My mother threw me a surprise party for my 40th, I was gracious that night, I made a point of greeting everyone and thanking them individually for coming.
I married at 58! My husband was well worth the wait. I am in awe of the blessing God has given me with this man. I wasn't even looking any longer and had long since quit praying for a husband. God knew all along when the time would be though. ❤️🙏
I did not get married until I was 42. I really never wanted to be married so I wasn’t really looking or “waiting for the one.” Then, out of the blue, “the one” appeared. Three months later we were married. We drove from Kansas to Las Vegas, got married, and drove back. We were in Las Vegas for exactly 13 hours. It was a 22-hour drive…each way. We just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. You never know what lies ahead in life.
I feel you, sister. 64 and not married. I guess the answer to marriage is NO. So I go on but am very sad about it. Only those that walk in our shoes know the heartache. @karenmonigold3138
I loved watching your wedding! Jinger, your dress was amazing! You could definitely fill your love for each other through the screen. I’m so happy to hear these great stories of the time you got to spend with family. I’m so happy for Jana and Stephen. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can relate to Jana’s story so much… I married later than I wanted despite my best efforts to prepare my heart and life for the man God had for me. His timing is perfect. I was not truly ready to be married at the age I would have preferred, and God was simultaneously preparing my now-husband (who is 7 years older than me and didn’t become a Christian until his late 20’s) for our relationship. I always tell people that if we had met even 3 months sooner, it wouldn’t have worked. But it is a huge blessing that it is SO WORTH IT to patiently wait on God and keep moving forward with life while you wait. Don’t be passive (a husband will not sprout out of your living room floor) but also don’t panic or force things that aren’t meant to be. That lesson is serving us now as we are trying to expand our family, and it is taking longer than we expected and may require an alternative route. We are, once again, patiently waiting on the Lord while taking a proactive step forward one day at a time ❤
@@user-vg8ez9cu6u His best is always best 🙂 Isn’t it crazy how you feel like “the only one” when in reality there are so many people struggling with the same thing??
Thank you 2 for sharing a little glimpse into Jana and Steven's wedding. Im so so happy for them. I know they will build an incredible life together. I really enjoy yalls podcasts. Hello from northwest Alabama.
So fun hearing you reminisce about your wedding! Your wedding was so beautiful--your dress, Miss Cindy's decor, the bridesmaid dresses, Come Thou Fount, Jeremy's sweet father--all of it! Hands down best Duggar wedding.
I was about to turn 30 as was my hubby when we tied the knot. I had a miscarriage before finally having my son at nearly 33. Then I didn't get pregnant again till 36 and had my daughter the day after I turned 37! I felt very life experienced and it's kind of cool being an older mom when you've lived life first. I wish your sister much happiness in whatever she chooses to do. It's HER life to live!😊
My wedding was super simple,only close family,no reception and just ate chipotle at our new place together and went on to our honeymoon,it's so special no matter how you do it❤
Love your Podcast first of all. Very happy for Jana...and excited to see she has a channel and hopefully will be showing us what she is up to creating with her projects. I did not get married until I was 30, one month from 31. As a matter of fact Sept. 2 was our 35th Wedding Anniversary! Praying for y'all and your family.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm almost 62 and still waiting on the Lord. I can honestly say I never was upset about not getting married. I always wanted babies, but God knew I never really wanted a husband.😊
I was married once for five years and after we got divorced, I find that I’m so much happier being by myself doing my own thing. My daughter moved in with me a year ago, and I enjoy her company though
I guess some people are not meant to be married but for me that would be sad. I’ve been married for 25 years and we have two girls who are just the finest thing we ever seen😆! We are born again believers in our Lord Jesus Christ so we do not follow the Duggars teachings but both our girls live at home but both are engaged. The oldest is 24 the baby is 21. We don’t approve of shacking up. The older we get the more grateful we are for our girls. They are everything to us❤️
Marriage isn't for everyone and some who are married wish they weren't. Children are a blessing but come with a huge responsibility for ever! Life is so tough and draining, it's sometimes hard to rejoice in the goodness of God 😢
Love that idea that the wedding day is that first opportunity to serve others together. And journaling the moments around this event and to lock it in - so good... LOVE that you made Jana's and Stephen's first day an entire podcast because I'm soooo happy to know that Jana and her husband are now just beginning to share the rest of their lives as one. So special! Love your podcast btw🤍
thank you for sharing that. I'm glad Jana got to have her wedding without having to think of being filmed for the show. Though getting to have the old crew there as guests I'm sure was very special. Yes, after that 6 month time, having them on your podcast would be really good. Between now and then you can plan a Q&A. Your book talked about how single women in the Bill Gothard world were basically under "the umbrella of authority" until they got married........not sure if there was one who stayed there long enough to wonder what would happen after parents die? Jana may not be ready for that, but with the progression of wearing pants and shorts, seemingly travelling alone, moving into a "tiny house", I thought it would be nice to hear from her. And from Stephen as well.
I loved this podcast so much! So excited for Jana and Stephan and wish them many blessings! Jeremy you are so great at the questions. It would be fun to see the tables turned and Jinger ask you questions
LOVE this commentary!!!! Everything yall talked about was so interesting. So cool to hear about those details about your wedding that I never heard about! Thanks for sharing!
I loved what you said about serving your guests at your wedding. When a bride is trying to pursue perfection in herself and perfection in her plans it often leads to disappointment. Better to focus on the joy of being with others that came for you.
Watching all the Duggar girls get married and figure how who they are has been such a joy. Congratulations to Jana. She has truly been an example of what it means to love Christ first. Keep sharing your stories, J & J. Much love to you both.
So happy for Jana and and Stephen! I was just about 34 also when I married my husband who was less then a month from 37 years old in 1993. Today is our 31st Wedding Anniversary and I can't believe we have been married 31 years. Time flies by so fast. Wish many blessings for Jana and Stephen for many years to come. Really enjoy your podcast. You both have very interesting conversations. Thank you and God bless!
I always wanted a big fancy wedding, but got the opposite and am so grateful the Lord knew what I wanted more than even I did. Our wedding had 25 people at the ceremony, it was planned in 3 weeks (we got married 4 months after meeting), my wedding dress was a satin white skirt suit bought second hand, and we got dollar store party favours for the ceremony. The dinner had a few more people, maybe 30 people, and it was a potluck. Our wedding was so small, so intimate, we had time to really celebrate and talk to those we loved the most. I am so glad we had the wedding we did. Oh, and we have been married 20 years, and I look back with the fondest of memories when I think about our wedding and the people there and the fun we had.
Really enjoyed hearing all the wedding details and memories! One of my fav episodes! So happy for Jana and that you all had some wonderful family time together. Thanks for sharing.
Love that y'all shared all of this with us. I can't believe how much y'all did that we had no idea about watching the show. People do crazy things for celebrity photos. That is so sad for y'all.
So happy for Jana! She was stunning that day! My daughter and I have watched your shows since she was able to understand ( she is 14 now) and she would always say, "Man when is it going to be Jana's turn???" Well when I got the headline, I ran to her and told her and she almost cried! So sweet. She said OH MY GOSH, Mom I am so happy for her!!!
Congratulations to Jana. She is a blessing! Enjoyed your podcast as you reminisced about your wedding. My husband and I are celebrating our 50th on Saturday, the 7th of September, so I have been looking at photos and our video! We are blessed! 🎉🙏🏼💖🫠 Thank you for sharing your videos. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. 😊
Thank you for remembering your wedding, and talking about Jana & Stephen. My Mom & I have watched the Duggar family on TV for years & aside from being happy for all the siblings getting married, we were sad & praying for Jana to find God's match for her. It sounds like they found God's plan for each other & love seeing this answer to prayer!! I look forward to seeing more pics & would love a video somehow ;)
I'm so happy for your sister! Duggar weddings sound so fun and BIG. My hubby and I will celebrate 18 years this year. We do not have large families and only had 60 people at our wedding. I couldn't imagine 1200!
My husband and I met at work. I am 8 years older. He was infatuated, evidently, but I thought we were friends. We became inseparable and started dating. Three years later we got married and held our reception in my sister's backyard under a big, beautiful tent. We had a small wedding - 50 people - because we wanted only those people that really meant something to us. Thirty-one years - and counting - later, we wouldn't have done anything different. I am not an outwardly religious person - I feel one's religion is personal. That said, God is definitely Good!
Jeremy and Jinger, I loved this episode! So many fans of the show were ecstatic to find out about Jana’s marriage to Stephen. It’s was nice to hear the inside scoop from family that were at the wedding. So special to hear about it. May they be blessed!
I have definitely been following along Jana’s journey and praying for this day for her. Wow. Definitely worth the wait for such an incredible couple 🙌🏼🤍
Thanks so much for sharing about Jana’s & Stephen’s special day . What a beautiful wedding it was . I also appreciated your sharing about her waiting patiently on The Lords timing. Gods timing is always perfect 😊Blessings to you all from NZ 🙏🏻
I’m married 33 years. We had 19 people. It was about us and not a show. It’s nice I guess if you have that type of money. Jana deserves the very best! I still look fondly of our tiny wedding.
It is so clear how much Jinger loves and misses her family. Even their daughters miss their cousins. That is so wonderful how close the family still is, no matter what has transpired. I hope they are able to get together often. Precious memories with family are priceless. 🙏 Jana was a beautiful bride. May God bless her and Stephen with many years of love, health and happiness together! 🎉
Shout out to Jeremy for wearing a Phillies hat! Born and raised in Philly! Live in NJ now but still a Phillies fan! Love your podcast. Always thought provoking.
So happy for Jana and Stephen! Jana finally found her person for her husband!😊 congratulations to them both😊 I loved hearing Evelyn's and her sister's experience with being in a wedding, being able to be a flower girl at their wedding 💒
Where I'm from it is the norm that weddings are no kids unless you're related. Or unless you are breastfeeding and need to bring the baby, but even then it is not very common. WE also dont do rehearsal dinner. But the night before it's becoming more common to have a cocktail or something more casual to gather all of the young people so they meet before the wedding. This is great if you have different groups of friends who dont know each other. It makes the wedding day go smoother because they hanged out and broke the ice the day before. WE call it "preboda" which means pre wedding in Spanish
I definitely needed to hear that from Jeremy that my (potential) wedding isn’t about me, it’s about serving others, keeping my eyes off of myself but on my guests
I love this so much! Congratulations to Jana and her new husband,Steven. So happy for her. It was baby season for us this Summer. Which is exciting, too ❤
I absolutely love hearing from you guys. You both are such blessings to each other and to others. Keep blessing us all with your blessings and love for the Lord ❤
I love hearing about the girls and their flower girl responsibility! My son was a ring-bearer in his uncle's wedding when he was about 4 years old, and the flower girl was rather naughty at the rehearsal and my son was really bothered by her. So, on the wedding day when she started throwing the flower petals on the ground, he thought she was being naughty again and he tried to pick up all of the petals as they walked up the aisle. 😂 He took his responsibility VERY seriously!
I am so happy for Jana! She was a stunning bride, seriously. I love that it was a surprise to the public. Unless I just missed it LOL. They got their beautiful moments without a lot of chaos. I'm so happy for all the family for the celebration and precious time together. Sweet times.
I am so stinkin Happy for Jana, I had been praying that the right Godly man would come into her life at the right time. God is so good! I feel this was just a huge testimony for a lot of people and what a Blessing it has been to watch it unfold! Jana deserves nothing but the best! Thanks for sharing! I follow Jana too. I follow the two of you, Jana & Jessa and then A handful of the Dugger's it so fun to see what you are all up to. I had watched all of you for many years.
Oh my gosh - you came for Fiesta!!! It's our big yearly festival that honors the old Spanish Days. State St. was nuts those few days. FYI, normally SB is not that crazy, but glad you got to experience the fun. Viva la fiesta!
Now that Jana lives near Lincoln, NE and guaranteed you all will visit, just an hour away from where Jana and Stephen will be living is the Omaha Zoo which is the best zoo in the world and I know you all would enjoy it with the girls. This is coming from someone who used to live in Nebraska.
Super Happy For Jana ❤❤❤ I think her Timeline is different than most of her sibling but it jus shows that life isnt always cookie cutter and her wait was totally worth it. She seemed super supportive of all her younger siblings and its jus amazing to see its her day ❤❤❤❤
My youngest Son is in the season of waitng & trusting on the Lord to send his Bride. Its not always easy to watch your love wait while their siblings & peers are getting what they want to do as well. I'm praying for my future Daughter-in-law & GODS will in my precious Sons life as he waits & at this time it is hard witnessing all his friends getting married🙏🏼💕 Thank you to you both for setting good examples for folks your age or younger in the waiting process🙏🏼
Can’t help but say…. Go Phillies!!!! 😂 loved the episode tho guys! Love hearing about Jana’s wedding day👏👏 she looked beautiful from the pictures I saw❤️
Jana deserve every bit of happiness she waited the longest being there for everybody else. She was so patient and finally it her turn. Wish her all the best.
Jana looked beautiful! Her gown was simple and elegant. She was beaming! I wish her and Stephen a long and happy marriage. ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you Jinger and Jeremy for your podcast! Jinger, you are so sweet and have always been my favorite! 🥰
I thought the photos of Jana’s wedding were stunning. I just loved the color of the dresses bridesmaids dresses. Jana was beautiful. I can’t imagine a wedding that size. Usually we attend weddings around 150 in attendance. Glad you had opportunity to visit people you’ve not seen in a while.
I was very excited to hear Jana got married. I was like her. I was 39 (3 months from 40) when I married and had never been married. Waiting is hard, but God does reward those who wait. I am now 55 with a 14 yo and a 12 yo.
Well, still waiting and I’m a lot older than that. Kinda doubting it at this point.
@@Sunny-sy2xl I am praying for you. God WILL send the right one to you, keep your hopes up. I know it’s hard, but God will provide and answer your prayers. ❤
I was 38, my sisters were: 30, 32 and 42. All happily married. Difficult at times but all in Gods time.
@@jewlenewalkington Indeed He does. Praise the Lord!!! 🙏🏾
I got married at 43!
My mom passed and she loved Jana so much. I wish she was here, we are from Nebraska and she would be thrilled that Jana moved here. 😇
Born and raised in Nebraska it’s a great place to live.

I’m 34 and got married on 1/27/24 🥰 Best day of my life and so glad I didn’t settle for the people in the past. God knew what He was doing when I asked Him to choose 🥰
Watching you as a young girl and now a married lady...brings joy to this great grammas heart. The minute you introduced Jeremy into your life, was perfect...he is so gentle and speaks from his heart. Love the podcasts!
I really enjoyed this video.
We've been married almost 50 years in December. I was a Vietnam war widow when we married with no children.
Two of my current sister in-laws worked across the hall where I worked + matched us up. We had a boy + a girl who are both married adults now + blessed us with 5 grandchildren. We are all Christians + continue to trust God with our lives.
Communication is important+ the simple times of life... spontaneous...like jumping in the car + going for an ice cream cone or going for walks together.
Blessings; Gran of 5!

@Nehor-90BChardly! And people need to understand what the word “narcissistic” actually means. He is always respectful, treats her in a way she never was treated before, and has always treated her as an a true intelligent adult. This couple has been able to build their independent lives because he was and is mature and so in love with her!
What video did you watch???
You are totally casting your own ideas on this video. There is nothing narcissistic at all.
They are on camera. He knows that. He has an image to keep up with. He doesn’t love her. He is so fake. Ginger is so naive and he knows it.
It makes me genuinely happy that Jana gets her happily ever after. Thanks for sharing and blessings to the Vuolo family!
I’ve been praying that she would find someone worthy of her!! She is wonderful, and deserved so much better than what she was given growing up! I wish her a lifetime of happiness!!💐
Can i just say that Jeremy you made an excellent point in this conversation! I have been waiting patiently praying for the last 2 months about a situation I had at work and TODAY it worked out in my favor! So many times i wanted to say to myself move on it’s not happening but immediately remembered that my faith is bigger than my fear !!! Thank you for the reminder ❤
J & J I have been following the Duggar family and I love seeing all the updates. So happy for Jana she looked amazing and so happy! God Bless your family ❤
For our wedding, nine years in December, one of our friends said, "Your reception is your first meal as a couple, and you can celebrate with all the people you love." We loved that. Serving your wedding guests is so true. So long as we were married, the rest is a bonus/ gravy.
Congratulations, Jana and Stephen!! Many happy years ahead for both of you!!
My husband and I have been married for 41 years. We had a small wedding, and the one thing we both incorporated in our wedding service was taking our first communion together as husband and wife. That was very special to the both of us!!
Our wedding was very small; just 75 people. It was also very sweet, but even so, we weren’t able to spend time with every person. I don’t think weddings are designed to be able to do that!
The thing I remember is a friend told me to take snapshots in my mind of special moments during the day. I did, and those are the moments I remember now, 35 years later. They’re especially sweet to me now because I lost my husband to cancer five years ago-too soon. I cherish those memories.
I’m so very happy for Jana and Stephen! Jana looked beautiful and very, very happy! You could feel the love and happiness emanating from inside both of them!
I literally took a drink right has Jeremy said the wedding with tiny people and almost choked 😂😂 so funny
Are you in the real world? 75 isn’t small for most people.
I was married when I was 18 years old . 45 people very intimate married for 42 years the best years of my life . Congratulations. To Jana & Steven . ❤❤
Jana is very special! She is the total package! She is beautiful and the wisest of all the Duggars❤She is a true example to others! I wish her a life full of health and happiness and countless blessings from God❤
I like how she didn’t marry the first guy that came along !
Ii is such a joy to "sit" with the two of you, sharing memories, giving the LORD credit for His love and guidance; thank you for letting us be a part of your life!
I was VERY encouraged to see Jana get married! I’m a single lady at 32 and it can be very hard to have to keep waiting for God’s timing, especially when Iv seen other friends and family get married and start families. I know it will happen for me and seeing it happen for her gave me hope! ❤️ plus it was such a gorgeous wedding!!! So happy for Jana!!!
Oh yes! All of us who have followed your family for years & prayed for Jana & watched her beautiful caring spirit with the rest of her siblings-(particularly as many got married) are shedding tears of joy❣️ Just listening to this wonderful discussion of her wedding brings tears….thank you Jesus ❤️🙏
Imagine having a supportive husband like Jeremy 😢😢 I've prayed to God to bring a faithful, caring, honest, Christian man in my life! I'm 55 now and feel the way Jana did for so many years
❤I screamed/cried when I found out Jana got married..I was so happy she finally found her prince charming..but why was it such a huge secret? Everyone else got to tell the world but hers was hush hush.❤I'm so happy she finally got her dream come true❤
They are private people
❤❤❤❤We love Jana!!!! She's such a beautiful, inside and out, soul. I have followed her for years and longed to see her get married. She feels like a siblings. Jana may God continue to bless your union for all eternity. Blessings in abundance ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just got married at the age of 45! Long wait but God is amazing and brought the perfect man for me into my life! We actually planned things specifically for our guests at the wedding. One being everything was at the same location. We greeted each guest after the wedding then had everyone go to the reception and eat whie we got pictures. This way they weren't starved waiting on us and they were entertained. We didn't eat until after almost everyone left and things were being cleaned up. Also we had filled and plain cupcakes, brownie bites and personal cheesecake.
I'm 42 and STILL not married. My time might come... or it might not. I will be gracious either way. My mother threw me a surprise party for my 40th, I was gracious that night, I made a point of greeting everyone and thanking them individually for coming.
I married at 58! My husband was well worth the wait. I am in awe of the blessing God has given me with this man. I wasn't even looking any longer and had long since quit praying for a husband. God knew all along when the time would be though. ❤️🙏
@@zoompatrol That gives me a glimmer of hope. I’m 54.
@@karenmonigold3138 Absolutely keep the hope! Your husband is out there and he will arrive in God's timing. I am so thankful I waited on God. 🙏❤️
I did not get married until I was 42. I really never wanted to be married so I wasn’t really looking or “waiting for the one.” Then, out of the blue, “the one” appeared. Three months later we were married. We drove from Kansas to Las Vegas, got married, and drove back. We were in Las Vegas for exactly 13 hours. It was a 22-hour drive…each way. We just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. You never know what lies ahead in life.
I feel you, sister. 64 and not married. I guess the answer to marriage is NO. So I go on but am very sad about it. Only those that walk in our shoes know the heartache. @karenmonigold3138
I loved watching your wedding! Jinger, your dress was amazing!
You could definitely fill your love for each other through the screen.
I’m so happy to hear these great stories of the time you got to spend with family.
I’m so happy for Jana and Stephen. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can relate to Jana’s story so much… I married later than I wanted despite my best efforts to prepare my heart and life for the man God had for me. His timing is perfect.
I was not truly ready to be married at the age I would have preferred, and God was simultaneously preparing my now-husband (who is 7 years older than me and didn’t become a Christian until his late 20’s) for our relationship. I always tell people that if we had met even 3 months sooner, it wouldn’t have worked. But it is a huge blessing that it is SO WORTH IT to patiently wait on God and keep moving forward with life while you wait. Don’t be passive (a husband will not sprout out of your living room floor) but also don’t panic or force things that aren’t meant to be.
That lesson is serving us now as we are trying to expand our family, and it is taking longer than we expected and may require an alternative route. We are, once again, patiently waiting on the Lord while taking a proactive step forward one day at a time ❤
Literally in the same boat as you. Struggling through IVF. Hoping for God's best!
@@user-vg8ez9cu6u His best is always best 🙂 Isn’t it crazy how you feel like “the only one” when in reality there are so many people struggling with the same thing??
Thank you 2 for sharing a little glimpse into Jana and Steven's wedding. Im so so happy for them. I know they will build an incredible life together. I really enjoy yalls podcasts. Hello from northwest Alabama.
Thank you Jinger and Jeremy for this amazing podcast, I’ve been addicted! You guys are so inspirational. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
It is nice to see a podcast like this just being so happy and supportive of Jana and Stephens marriage , and of family in general that is special!
So fun hearing you reminisce about your wedding! Your wedding was so beautiful--your dress, Miss Cindy's decor, the bridesmaid dresses, Come Thou Fount, Jeremy's sweet father--all of it! Hands down best Duggar wedding.
I was about to turn 30 as was my hubby when we tied the knot. I had a miscarriage before finally having my son at nearly 33. Then I didn't get pregnant again till 36 and had my daughter the day after I turned 37! I felt very life experienced and it's kind of cool being an older mom when you've lived life first. I wish your sister much happiness in whatever she chooses to do. It's HER life to live!😊
My wedding was super simple,only close family,no reception and just ate chipotle at our new place together and went on to our honeymoon,it's so special no matter how you do it❤
Love your Podcast first of all. Very happy for Jana...and excited to see she has a channel and hopefully will be showing us what she is up to creating with her projects. I did not get married until I was 30, one month from 31. As a matter of fact Sept. 2 was our 35th Wedding Anniversary! Praying for y'all and your family.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm almost 62 and still waiting on the Lord. I can honestly say I never was upset about not getting married. I always wanted babies, but God knew I never really wanted a husband.😊
I was married once for five years and after we got divorced, I find that I’m so much happier being by myself doing my own thing. My daughter moved in with me a year ago, and I enjoy her company though
I guess some people are not meant to be married but for me that would be sad. I’ve been married for 25 years and we have two girls who are just the finest thing we ever seen😆! We are born again believers in our Lord Jesus Christ so we do not follow the Duggars teachings but both our girls live at home but both are engaged. The oldest is 24 the baby is 21. We don’t approve of shacking up. The older we get the more grateful we are for our girls. They are everything to us❤️
@@tarashelton493 That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this. It does my heart good to see long marriages.
Marriage isn't for everyone and some who are married wish they weren't. Children are a blessing but come with a huge responsibility for ever! Life is so tough and draining, it's sometimes hard to rejoice in the goodness of God 😢
I'm really enjoying your podcasts and your positivity. Your helping guide me back to a Christian life. Thank you for all you do. 😊
Love that idea that the wedding day is that first opportunity to serve others together. And journaling the moments around this event and to lock it in - so good... LOVE that you made Jana's and Stephen's first day an entire podcast because I'm soooo happy to know that Jana and her husband are now just beginning to share the rest of their lives as one. So special! Love your podcast btw🤍
thank you for sharing that. I'm glad Jana got to have her wedding without having to think of being filmed for the show. Though getting to have the old crew there as guests I'm sure was very special. Yes, after that 6 month time, having them on your podcast would be really good. Between now and then you can plan a Q&A. Your book talked about how single women in the Bill Gothard world were basically under "the umbrella of authority" until they got married........not sure if there was one who stayed there long enough to wonder what would happen after parents die? Jana may not be ready for that, but with the progression of wearing pants and shorts, seemingly travelling alone, moving into a "tiny house", I thought it would be nice to hear from her. And from Stephen as well.
Congratulations to Jana on her wedding. I’m so happy for her.🎉😊❤💕
I loved this podcast so much! So excited for Jana and Stephan and wish them many blessings! Jeremy you are so great at the questions. It would be fun to see the tables turned and Jinger ask you questions
LOVE this commentary!!!! Everything yall talked about was so interesting. So cool to hear about those details about your wedding that I never heard about! Thanks for sharing!
I loved what you said about serving your guests at your wedding. When a bride is trying to pursue perfection in herself and perfection in her plans it often leads to disappointment. Better to focus on the joy of being with others that came for you.
Congratulations to Janna and Stephen! I wish them a long beautiful life together!
Watching all the Duggar girls get married and figure how who they are has been such a joy. Congratulations to Jana. She has truly been an example of what it means to love Christ first. Keep sharing your stories, J & J. Much love to you both.
So happy for Jana and and Stephen! I was just about 34 also when I married my husband who was less then a month from 37 years old in 1993. Today is our 31st Wedding Anniversary and I can't believe we have been married 31 years. Time flies by so fast. Wish many blessings for Jana and Stephen for many years to come. Really enjoy your podcast. You both have very interesting conversations. Thank you and God bless!
I always wanted a big fancy wedding, but got the opposite and am so grateful the Lord knew what I wanted more than even I did. Our wedding had 25 people at the ceremony, it was planned in 3 weeks (we got married 4 months after meeting), my wedding dress was a satin white skirt suit bought second hand, and we got dollar store party favours for the ceremony. The dinner had a few more people, maybe 30 people, and it was a potluck. Our wedding was so small, so intimate, we had time to really celebrate and talk to those we loved the most. I am so glad we had the wedding we did. Oh, and we have been married 20 years, and I look back with the fondest of memories when I think about our wedding and the people there and the fun we had.
We had around 350 people and it was considered HUGE back then! Our church was packed! 1999 seems like so long ago!! Congratulations to Jana!!!
Really enjoyed hearing all the wedding details and memories! One of my fav episodes! So happy for Jana and that you all had some wonderful family time together. Thanks for sharing.
Love that y'all shared all of this with us. I can't believe how much y'all did that we had no idea about watching the show. People do crazy things for celebrity photos. That is so sad for y'all.
So happy for Jana! She was stunning that day! My daughter and I have watched your shows since she was able to understand ( she is 14 now) and she would always say, "Man when is it going to be Jana's turn???" Well when I got the headline, I ran to her and told her and she almost cried! So sweet. She said OH MY GOSH, Mom I am so happy for her!!!
I'm so happy for her! Yes!
Watching and listening to you two is so soothing. Thank you for sharing your life. ❤
Fabulous news, keeping you all in prayer
Love that y'all are posting again. Such a great episode
Congratulations to Jana. She is a blessing! Enjoyed your podcast as you reminisced about your wedding. My husband and I are celebrating our 50th on Saturday, the 7th of September, so I have been looking at photos and our video! We are blessed! 🎉🙏🏼💖🫠
Thank you for sharing your videos. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. 😊
This was so lovely to hear about, thank you for sharing your sweet stories. Gods Blessings to all of you! ❤️☝️♥️
So nice to hearing these wedding memories! Thank you both for sharing!
Thank you for remembering your wedding, and talking about Jana & Stephen. My Mom & I have watched the Duggar family on TV for years & aside from being happy for all the siblings getting married, we were sad & praying for Jana to find God's match for her. It sounds like they found God's plan for each other & love seeing this answer to prayer!! I look forward to seeing more pics & would love a video somehow ;)
I'm so happy for your sister! Duggar weddings sound so fun and BIG. My hubby and I will celebrate 18 years this year. We do not have large families and only had 60 people at our wedding. I couldn't imagine 1200!
I'm here to celebrate Jana's wedding as well. Oh how beautiful your sister looked 😍 We're so happy for her! God bless Jana and Stephen 🙏🏽
My husband and I met at work. I am 8 years older. He was infatuated, evidently, but I thought we were friends. We became inseparable and started dating. Three years later we got married and held our reception in my sister's backyard under a big, beautiful tent. We had a small wedding - 50 people - because we wanted only those people that really meant something to us. Thirty-one years - and counting - later, we wouldn't have done anything different. I am not an outwardly religious person - I feel one's religion is personal. That said, God is definitely Good!
Jeremy and Jinger, I loved this episode! So many fans of the show were ecstatic to find out about Jana’s marriage to Stephen. It’s was nice to hear the inside scoop from family that were at the wedding. So special to hear about it. May they be blessed!
I have definitely been following along Jana’s journey and praying for this day for her. Wow. Definitely worth the wait for such an incredible couple 🙌🏼🤍
Thanks so much for sharing about Jana’s & Stephen’s special day . What a beautiful wedding it was . I also appreciated your sharing about her waiting patiently on The Lords timing. Gods timing is always perfect 😊Blessings to you all from NZ 🙏🏻
I’m married 33 years. We had 19 people. It was about us and not a show. It’s nice I guess if you have that type of money. Jana deserves the very best! I still look fondly of our tiny wedding.
It is so clear how much Jinger loves and misses her family. Even their daughters miss their cousins. That is so wonderful how close the family still is, no matter what has transpired. I hope they are able to get together often. Precious memories with family are priceless.
🙏
Jana was a beautiful bride. May God bless her and Stephen with many years of love, health and happiness together! 🎉
Shout out to Jeremy for wearing a Phillies hat! Born and raised in Philly! Live in NJ now but still a Phillies fan!
Love your podcast. Always thought provoking.
Lol! First thing I noticed.
So happy for Jana and Stephen and wishing them the very best . Very enjoyable podcast. Thank you.
So happy for Jana and Stephen! Jana finally found her person for her husband!😊 congratulations to them both😊 I loved hearing Evelyn's and her sister's experience with being in a wedding, being able to be a flower girl at their wedding 💒
Where I'm from it is the norm that weddings are no kids unless you're related. Or unless you are breastfeeding and need to bring the baby, but even then it is not very common. WE also dont do rehearsal dinner. But the night before it's becoming more common to have a cocktail or something more casual to gather all of the young people so they meet before the wedding. This is great if you have different groups of friends who dont know each other. It makes the wedding day go smoother because they hanged out and broke the ice the day before. WE call it "preboda" which means pre wedding in Spanish
I definitely needed to hear that from Jeremy that my (potential) wedding isn’t about me, it’s about serving others, keeping my eyes off of myself but on my guests
I enjoy your podcasts. You two are killing it. Adorable couple. Love your entire family. ❤
I love this so much! Congratulations to Jana and her new husband,Steven. So happy for her. It was baby season for us this Summer. Which is exciting, too ❤
Jana was absolutely beautiful the day of her wedding
When you are talking about crying or not crying at Jannas wedding....i had goosebumps
I absolutely love hearing from you guys. You both are such blessings to each other and to others. Keep blessing us all with your blessings and love for the Lord ❤
This couple is so sweet. I find it ironic that they are one of my favorite TH-camrs and I'm Pagan to the core. Blessed Be Jeremy and Jinger
I love how genuinely happy everyone is for her. Your tears say a lot 🥰 I am so glad she found her person ❤
I love hearing about the girls and their flower girl responsibility! My son was a ring-bearer in his uncle's wedding when he was about 4 years old, and the flower girl was rather naughty at the rehearsal and my son was really bothered by her. So, on the wedding day when she started throwing the flower petals on the ground, he thought she was being naughty again and he tried to pick up all of the petals as they walked up the aisle. 😂 He took his responsibility VERY seriously!
LOL. That is so cute. What a sweet memory you have of your son when he was little.
I am so happy for Jana! She was a stunning bride, seriously. I love that it was a surprise to the public. Unless I just missed it LOL. They got their beautiful moments without a lot of chaos. I'm so happy for all the family for the celebration and precious time together. Sweet times.
I am so stinkin Happy for Jana, I had been praying that the right Godly man would come into her life at the right time. God is so good! I feel this was just a huge testimony for a lot of people and what a Blessing it has been to watch it unfold! Jana deserves nothing but the best! Thanks for sharing! I follow Jana too. I follow the two of you, Jana & Jessa and then A handful of the Dugger's it so fun to see what you are all up to. I had watched all of you for many years.
So happy for Jana & her husband.
Oh my gosh - you came for Fiesta!!! It's our big yearly festival that honors the old Spanish Days. State St. was nuts those few days. FYI, normally SB is not that crazy, but glad you got to experience the fun. Viva la fiesta!
Big Bear is beautiful. You two seem to be true companions. May Jana and Stephen have a life abundantly blessed.
Now that Jana lives near Lincoln, NE and guaranteed you all will visit, just an hour away from where Jana and Stephen will be living is the Omaha Zoo which is the best zoo in the world and I know you all would enjoy it with the girls. This is coming from someone who used to live in Nebraska.
Agree! That zoo is the best. Take your kids. You all will love it.
Super Happy For Jana ❤❤❤ I think her Timeline is different than most of her sibling but it jus shows that life isnt always cookie cutter and her wait was totally worth it. She seemed super supportive of all her younger siblings and its jus amazing to see its her day ❤❤❤❤
My youngest Son is in the season of waitng & trusting on the Lord to send his Bride. Its not always easy to watch your love wait while their siblings & peers are getting what they want to do as well. I'm praying for my future Daughter-in-law & GODS will in my precious Sons life as he waits & at this time it is hard witnessing all his friends getting married🙏🏼💕 Thank you to you both for setting good examples for folks your age or younger in the waiting process🙏🏼
I love Jana ❤ she’s a true example of trusting Gods plan.
Thank you for sharing!
I'm so happy for Jana 🙏💖
Can’t help but say…. Go Phillies!!!! 😂 loved the episode tho guys! Love hearing about Jana’s wedding day👏👏 she looked beautiful from the pictures I saw❤️
Only if Abraham and Sarah trusted like Jana... what would Gaza look like now? Great powerful testimony Jana has!!
Jana deserve every bit of happiness she waited the longest being there for everybody else. She was so patient and finally it her turn. Wish her all the best.
I was wondering when y'all would talk about it. I'm so thrilled for Jana and Stephen!
I love your content! Thank you for sharing about Jana’s wedding and yours! Praying God’s blessing on both of you!
Jana looked beautiful! Her gown was simple and elegant. She was beaming! I wish her and Stephen a long and happy marriage. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Jinger and Jeremy for your podcast! Jinger, you are so sweet and have always been my favorite! 🥰
I thought the photos of Jana’s wedding were stunning. I just loved the color of the dresses bridesmaids dresses. Jana was beautiful. I can’t imagine a wedding that size. Usually we attend weddings around 150 in attendance. Glad you had opportunity to visit people you’ve not seen in a while.
