However, some fans speculate that Jill Duggar was absent during the ceremony. Derick Dillard’s latest post may shed light on why. Read on to see what happened.

Some Redditors recently discussed Jill’s absence at Jana and Stephen’s wedding. The poster mentioned their surprise about not seeing any photos of Jill at the event, especially given her close bond with Jana. Speculations arose that Jill may have skipped her sister’s big day due to her estrangement from the family. Others think she might be avoiding Jim Bob after seemingly getting him into potential legal trouble.

The day after Jana’s wedding, Derick took to social media but did not congratulate the newlyweds. Instead, the Counting On alum promoted his and Jill’s book, Counting The Cost, which contains some shocking revelations about Jim Bob Duggar.

Derick announced that an updated version of the memoir is now available. The timing of his post surprised many. Some believe it was a deliberate snub at Jana’s wedding, while others think he was capitalizing on the recent attention surrounding the Duggar family.

“Well…Jim Bob sold Jana’s wedding story to People because he is broke paying for all of his convicted SO son Josh’s eval fees. So there’s that.”
“Oh plz it was probably her choice not to be there and this post doesn’t take anything away from Jana. Jana’s wedding looked the most spectacular!!”
“This would appear attention-seeking… let Jana have the limelight even just for one day…”
“Kinda sucks that Jana just got married, and this comes out during her happiest moment.”
“Can you please give Jana her moment and stop being an opportunist? I support you and Jill but this is in poor taste.”

Despite her mysterious absence, Jill assured her followers that she’s happy for her sister. In an Instagram Stories post, the Counting On alum congratulated the couple, saying, “My sister is married! Congratulations @JanaMDuggar and @StephenWissmann.”
