The good times of Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann’s wedding continue to roll, with younger sister Jinger Duggar posting a string of selfies from the happy occasion.
Jinger, 30, took to social media on Sunday, September 1, to share some of her favorite memories from her big sister’s wedding, which took place in Arkansas on August 15.
Posting a carousel of snaps, professional photos and a video via Instagram, Jinger reflected fondly on the major family event.

“We celebrated the happy couple @janamduggar & @stephenwissmann, enjoyed lots of sweet time with family and friends & ate lots of delicious food. Until next time AR! ❤️” Jinger captioned the post.
The carousel featured selfies of Jinger alongside the bride, 34, her mother, Michelle Duggar, her brother Joseph Duggar, her sister Jill Duggar, and several other siblings, family members and friends. It also included photos of Jana and Wissmann, 31, sharing a kiss and posing with Jinger and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo.
Jana and Wissmann married two months after getting engaged. They tied the knot in front of 500 guests at Arkansas’ The Grand at Willow Springs, as Jessa Duggar Seewald served as Jana’s maid of honor and bridesmaids included Jinger and her fellow sisters Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar and Jordyn Duggar, as well as Jana’s sister-in-law, Abbie Duggar.
Jana, whose family rose to fame through the reality TV series 19 Kids and Counting, told People two days before the wedding took place, “I think it is one of those things that all girls envision someday. 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.’ And just to see it coming about is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It’s a dream come true.”
As the Duggar children’s young families continue to flourish, Jinger hinted during the Wednesday, August 28, episode of the “Jinger and Jeremy” podcast that she is keen to add to her brood. Jinger and Vuolo, 36, already share two daughters: Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3.
“That would be fantastic,” Jinger said while answering fan questions on the podcast. “If we had another kid, had twins, I’d be down for it.”

Jinger reflected further on her brother Jedidiah Duggar and his wife, Katey Duggar, announcing in July that they are expecting twin girls. “I feel like it would be a lot of work initially but then you also just … it’s a faster way to have babies.”
Jinger and Vuolo were first linked in 2015 before getting engaged the following year.
Just a few months after announcing their engagement, the pair married in an Arkansas ceremony in November 2016.

Even though the film festival season in Arkansas is over until next year, there are still plenty of film-related events. Last week, there were two such events, one in Northwest Arkansas at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the other taking place outdoors at a flower farm outside…
After three weeks standing on the verge of bowl eligibility, Arkansas football has its best opportunity to secure a spot in college football’s postseason this weekend against Louisiana Tech.
The Razorbacks (5-5) will host the Bulldogs (4-6) on Saturday (3 p.m., SECN+). Twenty players are projected to take part in Senior Day festivities as Arkansas closes out its home schedule in 2024.
The Hogs are coming off back-to-back losses inside Reynolds Razorback Stadium, most recently falling to Texas 20-10. Arkansas’ offense couldn’t muster enough production across the first two quarters as a comeback bid fell short against the Longhorns.

Louisiana Tech, meanwhile, is coming off its biggest win of the season. The Bulldogs beat conference rival Western Kentucky 12-7, knocking the Hilltoppers out of first place in Conference USA.
Here are four things to watch and a score prediction for Saturday’s contest between Arkansas and Louisiana Tech.

Arkansas football must get off to a fast start
The best way to prevent an upset is to eliminate any hope. Arkansas didn’t do that against UAB in September, and the Razorbacks came out of the gates slow last year in this same spot against FIU. They eventually won both games, but the final scores were closer than desired.

“We’re trying to live up to the Arkansas standard, and that results in executing on the field. And if we don’t live up to that, then we’re going to see a similar slow start,” Arkansas offensive lineman Josh Braun said. “So that’s what we’re focused on this week, just starting fast and playing our brand of football.”
Take care of the football
This is arguably the biggest key for Arkansas every weekend. The Razorbacks are 0-5 when they lose the turnover battle this season, and two costly giveaways spoiled any chance at an upset last week against Texas.
Fortunately for Arkansas, Louisiana Tech ranks 111th in the country in turnover margin. The Bulldogs are averaging nearly two turnovers a game, so this might be an opportune matchup for the Hogs’ defense.

Control the running game on both sides
The Bulldogs have struggled on the ground all season, and they’ve won both games in which they rushed for more than 150 yards. By contrast, they are 2-6 when held under that mark.
Arkansas’ running defense has been strong throughout the year. Only two opponents have averaged more than 4 yards per carry, and the Razorbacks should be able to keep Louisiana Tech running backs Omiri Wiggins and Amani Givens in check.
On the flip side, Arkansas needs to commit to running the football early and stay vigilant with Ja’Quinden Jackson. Relying on the pass too heavily proved a mistake in the first half against Texas, and look for Bobby Petrino to adjust.
All eyes on Tru Edwards
Edwards, a senior wide receiver, is by far Louisiana Tech’s most dangerous weapon. He has four games this season with more than 100 yards receiving and leads the team with six touchdowns.
He’s a big-play threat who will require the full focus of the Arkansas defense. The Razorbacks’ secondary will try to maintain its momentum after holding Quinn Ewers and Isaiah Bond in check last week.

Prediction
Louisiana Tech is better than its record indicates, but there is still a gulf in talent between the two rosters. If Arkansas handles its own business and avoids sloppy turnovers, it should have no problem securing bowl eligibility Saturday. An upset loss would be unacceptable. Arkansas 38, Louisiana Tech 13.
