The couple said “I do” in front of 500 guests during a “classic, elegant” ceremony at The Grand at Willow Springs, per the outlet.
Jana’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, walked her down the aisle to the song “Holy, Holy, Holy.”
The bride’s sisters were also involved in the nuptials, with Jessa Duggar Seewald serving as the maid of honor. Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar were bridesmaids along with Jana’s sister-in-law Abbie Duggar.

The wedding news comes after the US Sun reported that the newlyweds obtained their marriage license in their home state of Arkansas on Wednesday.
Duggar and Wissmann, who got engaged in June, first sparked romance rumors after they were spotted together in December 2020. However, they have kept their romance off of social media and never publicly addressed their relationship status.
People reports the two first met years ago through their families. The “19 Kids and Counting” star’s brother Jeremiah Duggar is married to Wissmann’s sister Hannah.
Like Jana, Wissmann also comes from a large, religious family with 13 children. According to his Instagram , he owns a business and is a private pilot.

Jana sparked engagement rumors last month after posting a series of photos with a diamond ring on that finger.
In the pictures, the soon-to-be bride posed with her brother John and his wife, Abbie. Although she hid her left hand in two of the pictures, eagle-eyed fans still noticed the sparkler in one of the pictures.
Jana is the eldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and was often called “Cinderella Duggar” for not prioritizing marriage like a lot of her siblings, who mostly wed in their early 20s.
However, in July 2020, the TLC star told Us Weekly she was “not that worried” about finding “The One.”
“Yes, I long to be married and one day I think that will come, but I think … I’m just also just trying to stay busy with whatever comes along my path,” she told the outlet.

Despite feeling “a little more pressure” to find a husband, Jana said she wanted to make “the most” of her single years.
“I think if I sit there and I’m like, ‘Oh no, I’m not married’ and just [get] all worried about it, it makes things way worse,” she shared.
Jana explained that she didn’t want to settle and hoped to find a love as strong as her parents, who wed in 1984.
“The genuine love that they still have for one another … this young love and they still have that, you know, today. I think that’s rare to see couples that are their age and been married that long.”
