The eldest Duggar daughter, 34, tied the knot with Wissmann during a “simple, classic” ceremony in front of 500 guests in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, on Aug. 15

The Counting On alum, 34, who is the eldest Duggar daughter, married Stephen Wissmann, 31, in Prairie Grove, Ark., on Thursday, Aug. 15, in a “classic, elegant” ceremony.

The pair, who got engaged on June 15, exchanged traditional vows at The Grand at Willow Springs in front of 500 guests. Jessa Duggar Seewald served as the bride’s maid of honor, while her sister-in-law, Abbie Duggar, and sisters Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar were bridesmaids.

“I think it is one of those things that all girls envision someday,” Jana told PEOPLE of her wedding two days before the celebration. “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.”

Jana walked down the aisle to “Holy, Holy, Holy” in an off-the-shoulder ivory satin ball gown with her dad Jim Bob Duggar. “The dress felt classy and a bit like a princess,” Jana says.

As for decor at their affair, the couple wanted to keep it simple.
