Jill Duggar’s husband Derick ignores Jana’s wedding and promotes his book instead after wife snubbed from nuptials

JILL Duggar's husband, Derick Dillard, has ignored Jana Duggar's wedding to Stephen Wissmann after his wife was snubbed.

Jana, 34, and Stephen, 31, married on Thursday in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, in front of 500 guests, several of whom were family members.

While a handful of Duggar siblings were in the wedding, including Jessa Duggar Seewald, who served as maid of honor, and Abbie Duggar, Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johanna Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, and Jordyn Duggar as bridesmaids, Jill was not given a special role.

It's unclear whether she was in attendance, though photos posted on Reddit from social media suggest she was invited as a guest.

While family members and friends gushed over Jana's long-awaited marriage, it was business as usual on Derick's social media account.

On Friday, he posted a screenshot of an old caption from wife Jill's Instagram account promoting their book, adding new info for fans.

"An edited/updated release of our book is set to drop soon! Stay on the lookout and get your copy where books are sold," the star captioned his post.

Fans grabbed screenshots of the post and shared them on a Duggar-themed Reddit page.

"Look what Derick posted the day after Jana and Dephen's wedding," one social media user pointed out.

Fans in the comments were split about the post, with some speculating that it was an intentional snub and others speculating that he was capitalizing on extra attention on the entire Duggar family.

"He said, 'While the streets talking I got something to add,'" one person commented.

A second critic suggested, "He is such a troll. He does this to piss [Jim Bob Duggar] off and I'm sure it works every time."

"Omg this entire family are the biggest bunch of attention w***es I've ever seen. This s**t is exhausting lol," penned a fourth person.

"I remember when she would always post about the weddings to get clinks on their website lol even posted a bunch of pics and videos of Josiahs wedding before the People spread came out lol," recalled a fifth.

Someone else speculated, "More proof to add to the list that Derick hates Jana lol."

"Ouch," a seventh commenter wrote.

GROWING APART?

Jill's snub from Jana's wedding party has some fans speculating that a rift may be growing between them.

Jill has distanced herself from the religion in which she was raised - Independent Fundamentalist Baptist – and, as a result of that decision, much of her family.

She has a strained relationship with her mother and father, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, and has drifted apart from several of her siblings, many of whom still practice their ultra-conservative brand of Christianity.

Photos from Jana's wedding, including snaps of her with her wedding party, were featured in People on Friday, confirming that Jill did not have a role in the wedding.

After seeing the pics, fans on social media speculated that Jana and Jill may be feuding – a rumor that's been swirling since the release of Jill and Derick's tell-all memoir, Counting the Cost.

"I feel bad that Jill was excluded, especially since Jana was Jill's MOH in her wedding and they were quite close growing up," commented one fan on Reddit.

"Like I've said, either Jana was not allowed the invited Jill in exchange for the wedding of her dreams or Jill was invited, but was not to be in the bridal party."

A second commented, "It's still sad Jill wasn't in the bridal party, I hope it wasn't because of any bad blood even with everything that's happened."

"So sad that Jill wasn't even a bridesmaid, especially considering Jana was Jill's maid of honor," a third person wrote.

"Yikes, especially when it looks like all of the older girls are bridesmaids but Jill," another commented.

Despite the snub, Jill posted an Instagram Story congratulating her big sister.

Jana's brother Josh Duggar, currently incarcerated, and her cousin Amy Duggar, 37, were also notably absent from the wedding.

OPENING UP

Jill has been vocal about her decision to distance herself from the Institute in Basic Life Principals (IBLP), and how her beliefs differ from those of her parents, Jim Bob, 59, and Michelle, 57.

The Counting On alum discussed her childhood in her memoir, revealing the "secrets and manipulation" she faced away from TLC's cameras.

She also pointed out a number of "red flags" that pushed her and Derick to leave the IBLP church in 2017.

Jill has been branded the "rebel in the family" for defying her parents conservative rules.

While promoting her book in September, Jill teased a strained relationship with Jana, who remained a member of an IBLP church.

"Do you worry about Jana and her lack of being able to leave your father's hold, or hold to Bill Gothard's teachings?" a fan asked Jill during a Q&A.

She replied, "I try and not meddle too much in my siblings' lives."

"I don't know where they're all at. I don't want to speak about their stories and everything. I'll let them tell their story or figure it out themselves."

Jill went on, "But, I think anyone who has grown up in IBLP, it's definitely a process and it's one that's very hard to come away from and kind of sort through."
