Kirk Cameron Attends Jessa Duggar’s Wedding: Brought Daughters To See What It Looks Like To Save First Kiss
Kirk Cameron, known for being a born again Christian and Growing Pains, attended the wedding of Jessa Duggar to Ben Seewald on November 1.
Cameron posted an image to his Facebook page on Monday showing the “Duggar wedding couple.”
In the caption, Cameron discussed exactly why he chose to attend the high-profile Duggar wedding with his two daughters.
“Duggar Wedding Couple! 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!!”
As Cameron notes, the guests to the Duggar wedding were “sworn to secrecy” so the details provided were limited. Kirk does say that the wedding was “surprising” and since he took his daughters to the wedding specifically for them to see what it is like for a couple to kiss for the first time on the altar, he would have definitely been surprised. The Inquisitr reported that Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald shocked everyone by not having their first kiss during the wedding ceremony. Instead, the couple had their first kiss in private without television cameras or guests present.
When Cameron posted the image to his facebook page, many people commented that they wish they saw “more of this and less of the Kardashians” on television. What do you think? Are the Duggars good role models for families?
