JANA Duggar got married in an off-the-shoulder dress, which goes against her dad’s rules.
Fans think Jim Bob must be furious at his daughter for showing more skin than he’d like her to.

Jana, 34, married Stephen Wissman on August 15 in Arkansas.
The Counting On alum wore a white off-the-shoulder gown.
The front of the dress came down in a V-neck, and she had a thin white belt attached to the A-line bottom.
Jana’s veil was see-through with white dots scattered throughout.
Her blonde hair was down and curly, and she wore a necklace around her neck.
Stephen, 31, wore a simple black tux with a white boutonniere flower.
In a photo posted by a friend to their Instagram Story, Jana appeared to have taken off her veil during the reception.
‘PRETTY AND ELEGANT’
Duggar fans complimented Jana on her “pretty and elegant” dress but were also surprised that her dad would let her wear that.
Jim Bob had strict rules for his daughters that barely let them show any skin.
“We avoid low-cut, cleavage-showing, gaping or bare-shouldered tops and, when needed, we wear an undershirt,” according to their 2014 book, Growing Up Duggar.
“Did Jana have to shout ‘NIKE!!!’ at her own wedding…about herself?” a Reddit user asked.
Nike is a code word the family uses, which means, “Don’t look!”
“I love this dress. I feel like it’s so scandalous for a Duggar,” said another.
“Is that shoulder I see?” joked another fan.

“Her dad must be furious,” wrote one Reddit user.
“Imagine what her dress would have looked like had she followed tradition and gotten married at 18/19 like her sisters? She’d be full sleeved lol,” said another.
“It’s not just pretty and normal looking, it’s also… elegant,” one fan complimented.
“Wow this dress is actually pretty and normal looking, so unduggar-like,” said another.
‘DREAM COME TRUE’
Jana and Stephen tied the knot in front of 500 guests after a brief, two-month engagement.
Jana told People that she “never” thought it would come, but now it’s something she’s always dreamt of.
“I think it is one of those things that all girls envision someday,” the reality star told the outlet.
“For me, it felt like, ‘Okay, it’s never coming.’ But now it’s starting to sink in.”
“Reality is starting to set in. And I’m like, ‘Wow, this truly is something that I’ve dreamed of,'” Jana went on.
“And just to see it coming about is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It’s a dream come true.”
Like Jana, Stephen comes from a big family with 13 siblings.
Jana has 18 siblings.
“Coming from two bigger families, we love to be able to get together and celebrate moments like these,” Jana said.
She said having them all at the wedding meant a lot.
The pair had been dating on and off for years but kept their relationship and engagement private.
