The Duggar Family Marriages: The Shortest and Longest Courtships
Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann married on March 26. Jeremiah is just the latest in a long line of Duggar siblings to tie the knot. His courtship, however, has been different from most of his siblings’ romances. Jeremiah and Hannah have kept things pretty lowkey. Family followers note that the couple appeared to take a pretty mainstream approach to dating. So, was their courtship one of the longest? Officially it was not, but it wasn’t the shortest, either.
Which Duggar sibling had the longest courtship?
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar would like fans to believe disgraced son, Joshua Duggar, courted his wife, Anna Duggar, for two years before asking for her hand in marriage. That’s the story the family tells, at least. Still, Duggar family followers strongly suspect the duo never actually courted. Instead, they believe Josh jumped right to engagement without Anna’s buy-in. There is no way to prove it, though.
Jessa Seewald and her husband, Ben Seewald, had the longest documented courtship. According to Fandom, the couple announced their courtship in September 2013. In August 2014, Ben proposed. They married in November 2014, 14 months into their romance.
Which Duggar siblings had the shortest courtship?
Jeremiah and Hannah haven’t shared many details on their relationship. Still, based on photographic evidence, the couple was likely dating for several months before they announced their courtship and subsequent engagement. Their relationship certainly isn’t the shortest in the Duggar family’s history. That record appears to go to John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett.
When they announced their relationship, John David and Abbie were substantially older than most Duggars. They announced their courtship in June 2018. Less than a month later, they were engaged. John David and Abbie were married in November 2018. Jinger Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo’s public courtship wasn’t much longer. A little more than a month passed between their courtship announcement and engagement.
Who will be the next Duggar to tie the knot?
Jeremiah Duggar might be the latest eligible Duggar to tie the knot, but he’s far from the only one who is likely on the hunt for a life partner. James and Jason Duggar are both in their early 20s. Jackson Duggar turns 18 in June and Jana Duggar, now in her 30s, is the family’s oldest bachelorette.
Still, none of them appear to be set to head down the aisle right now. At the very least, none have announced a relationship. That doesn’t mean there isn’t an ongoing romance, though. The Duggar family has been incredibly calculated about the information they release in the wake of Josh Duggar’s arrest and subsequent trial.
Regardless, Duggar family followers feel confident that Jana is unlikely to be the next one to announce a courtship. Jana was briefly linked to Stephen Wissmann. But it appears the 32-year-old was only spending time in Nebraska to chaperone Jeremiah.
