Ben Seewald Moves In With Jessa Duggar After Engagement: New ‘19 Kids And Counting’ Couple Sets Wedding Date, Gift Registry And Honeymoon

It’s shocking but true. Ben Seewald moved in with Jessa Duggar after their engagement! Well he moved into the guesthouse in front of Duggar home, but that means that he is in walking distance from his fiancée Jessa! They’ve already set their wedding date to November 1 and began their planning for the wedding gift registry and even honeymoon. Will the new couple of ‘19 Kids and Counting’ throw a wedding better than Jill and Derick Dillard?

"He moved up here a few weeks ago," Jim Bob, 49, told People Magazine. "It has been really good. He has been able to spend a lot more time with Jessa and our family. We have a guesthouse in front of our house, with a shower and everything, separate from the main house."

That was awfully nice of Mr and Mrs Duggar to arrange for Ben Seewald. He must be a son-in-law worth keeping! Sounds like quite the bachelor pad, but not the kind where he’ll bring girls into.

The second to-be bride of ‘19 Kids and Counting’ uploaded an Instagram picture on her engagement day with the caption reading, “I admire this man with all my heart! @ben_seewald, you're absolutely the best!”

"I'm very excited that Ben is moving in," Jessa said to People. "I think it will be awesome to get to spend more time with Ben and see him on a daily basis instead of once or twice a month."

Wait, Jessa Duggar got engaged to Ben Seewald after 11 months… does that mean that she only saw the guy 24 times before saying yes to the ring?

I think I’ve seen my grocery cashier more than Jessa Duggar has seen her fiancé.

But that hasn’t stopped ‘19 Kids and Counting’ patriarch to speed up the engagement. With the wedding date set for November 1, the couple has a lot to catch up on.

"Ben was living four hours away in Hot Springs with his parents," Jim Bob said. "After Michelle and I were talking about it, we have so many projects to do that we need help for – everything from construction projects to keeping the grass mowed to putting roof on a building, paperwork and things like that – and we asked him if he would be interested in moving up here so that Jessa and his relationship could be really accelerated. He was all for it and his parents were happy about it."

But what’s the rush? Oh the rush is that Jim Bob and Michelle has 19 kids and counting (literally) and the sooner they can marry off their kids, the better.

Jessa Duggar revealed that she doesn’t want a fancy wedding or an elaborate wedding gift registry. It sounded like she wanted to be married as soon as possible. Coming from a girl whose Instagram name was “JessaSeewald” even before she got married, all this shouldn’t be too surprising.

‘19 Kids and Counting’ returns to TLC on September 2, 9/8c!
