One of the eight bajillion Duggar kids, 22-year-old Jessa Duggar, got married to her boyfriend Ben Seewald last weekend in a massive Arkansas ceremony that had over 1,000 guests. One of those guests was born again lunatic Christian Kirk Cameron, who thinks it’s super sweet that Jessa and Ben didn’t even hold hands until their engagement and wouldn’t even kiss when they said “I do” because they thought it was more chaste to save that moment for the privacy of their own homes. In fact, Kirk hopes his own daughters take a page from Jessa’s book and follow in her footsteps.
Here’s what Kirk shared (along with the above photo) on his Facebook page:
Aren’t they adorable? My daughters and I were invited to Jessa and Ben’s wedding and we took this photo during the rehearsal dinner the night before. They were bursting with anticipation! We flew to the Duggar hometown, not only to be part of the fun and excitement of honoring this precious couple, but as a father, I want my daughters to see what it looks like when a couple reserves their “first kiss” for at the altar. Wow! This kind of moral excellence and purity is rare today, but our sons and daughters are priceless. This dad has only a few years to etch these meaningful images on the minds of his children. I wish I could tell you details of the wedding, but I am sworn to absolute secrecy by the Duggars! What I can say, is that it was beautiful, meaningful, and … surprising! We were also invited to the Duggars house after for volleyball, campfire singing, and dessert till 1:30 am. We even got to worship together at church the next morning and Jim Bob and Michelle were excited to share with family and friends about Saving Christmas (www.SavingChristmas.com)! Be sure to watch the wedding episode of 19 and Counting on TLC!!
Oh, brother. I’m all for people doing whatever the hell they want in life so long as it’s not hurting anyone. And I suppose it isn’t hurting anyone (but themselves) for two people to get married without ever having done more than holding hands. However, the fact that there are sects of people who think this is the one true “right” way to live are bonkers. I do think kids rush into sex way too early and intimacy should be taken seriously, but I also think Jessa is probably shitting herself because she was entirely unprepared for what sex and everything that comes with it is like.
She’ll probably end up knocked up in a couple of weeks just like her older sister Jill.

Kirk hasn’t aged quite as well as Candace did and I hope his daughters grow up to be cuties like the Duggars’ (well some anyway) girls are. And not nearly as repressed. Now let’s all set some fires and sit down and sing!
Also, can I just say how GROSS it would be to go from never kissing someone to pregnant a week later?? Stages, people! Not just for jazz hands!
They weren’t even doing the Christian side hug thing?
They were probably doing the Mormon “anal doesn’t count” thing.
I really thought the was Presbyterian. Huh
Definitely not CRC. Anal is Satan’s way of pegging you into hell.
I think Kirk needs to be Left Behind.
