The couple are set to wed in Springdale, Arkansas.
Jessa Duggar has been engaged to Seewald since Thursday night. The soon-to-be-married couple started courting the previous year. They decided to not hold hands until they become engaged. For their first kiss, they've decided to have it on their wedding day!
The excited couple released this statement:
"We are so blessed to be engaged! God has written an amazing story through our courtship, and another chapter has just begun!"
"We are thrilled to see what the future holds - especially the wedding bells!"
21-year old engaged Jessa Duggar is the third daughter of Jim Bob, 48 and Michelle, 47. "19 Kids & Counting" starts its new season on Sept. 2, at 9 p.m. ET.
Duggard praised her relationship with Seewald, saying:
"We do have a lot in common,"
"He is a mellow personality, very romantic and very sweet. I am very cut and dried. And my sisters are coaching me on sweet romantic things to say."
Seewald recently told People Magazine in an informal interview:
"People always ask us when we are getting married,"
"We don't feel pressure to get married. If there's any pressure, it's a good kind of pressure."
"The Duggar family gets asked a lot of questions,"
"A lot of times we take it as a lesson, and we ask other people who are older and wiser than us to share wisdom with us about relationships. It's an important thing."
