COUNTING On star Jana Duggar has broken her father’s strict modesty rules in new photos from her recent wedding.
Some fans also concluded that Jana, 34, and her new husband, Stephen Wissmann, may have broken some pre-marital rules as well.
Jana, the oldest daughter of the Duggar clan, tied the knot with Stephen in an Arkansas ceremony on Thursday.
New photos of the couple from the special day showed the two extremely close to one another.
In one specific shot, Stephen picked up his new bride and wrapped his arms underneath her butt as they shared a kiss.
BREAKING RULES BEFORE?
After the photos circulated online, some TLC fans thought the pair looked too comfortable and had potentially broken her dad, Jim Bob Duggar’s modesty rules before their nuptials.
Along with the family’s strict dress rules — which Jana broke with her off-the-shoulder gown — Jim Bob also enforced strict courtship rules.
The daughters were prohibited from having close contact, kissing, or sharing forward-facing hugs with potential suitors.
“These are pics of people who did NOT follow the no front hugs and no kissing courtship rules,” one person noted on Reddit.
“They’re way too comfortable with each other. Now how far they went, idk, but they were doing something lololol,” they added.
“… no one grabs their new wife’s ass at the reception like that if they haven’t done it before. A lot,” a second noted.
“Wow. They definitely have had physical interactions of some type before marriage,” said a third.
“These two have definitely kissed before lmao,” a fourth wrote.
“Glad to see Jana looks so much more physically comfortable with her new husband than some of the Duggar family brides,” noted another.
“Hoo that kiss in these pics looks like they have kissed before – hurrah!” they added.
DETAILS OF THE DAY
Jana and Stephen had a simple wedding with 500 guests, which she called a “dream come true.”
