Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Mimic Ben and Jessa's Kiss Photo, Michelle Says Both Jill and Jessa Enjoy Married Life
"19 Kids and Counting" stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have plenty of reasons to celebrate. They're about to welcome another grandchild courtesy of daughter Jill, and earlier this month their other daughter, Jessa, just got married to her fiancé Ben Seewald.
Recently, the couple sent a picture of them kissing to Jessa, in which they mimicked the pose Jessa and Ben were in for their first public kiss, which the 21-year old promptly uploaded to Instagram.
"My parents texted me this picture! This year marks 30 years of marriage, and they're still in that "honeymoon" stage!" Jessa wrote.
Jim Bob and Michelle were married in 1984 and began their family with eldest son Josh in 1988. Since then, the family has continued to grow.
In a recent post on her blog, Michelle gave an update on how newlywed life is treating Jill, who married Derick Dillard in June, and how Ben and Jessa are flourishing in their new life together.
"It's so special to watch these budding relationships blossoming," wrote the Duggar matriarch.
"It's been a very smooth transition for Jill and Derick. Jill had so much help from her siblings to make the transition, helping her pack up stuff at our house, moving and unpacking at her new home. They have their schedule already—they get up and off to work or Jill works on her studies," she added.
Jill is expecting a baby boy and is currently studying to be a midwife while her husband works as an accountant.
"It's so sweet to see them starting their lives and their family together," wrote Michelle. "It was truly the joy of her life to marry Derick and they both feel so blessed to have each other. They are just really, really happy to be married and enjoying married life."
Michelle also reveals that Jessa and Jill can't stop kissing their spouses in front of their family.
"Love is in the air and its good for all of us to be around that, even if the little siblings have to go, 'Oh no, they're kissing again, oh my!'" she wrote.
