It looks like the Duggar family are having one very busy year as they'll be planning yet another wedding in the next few months. Jessa Duggar has announced that she is finally engaged to her boyfriend, Ben Seewald, after 11 months of courtship.

The husband-and-wife to-be made the announcement to People Magazine on Friday morning. The couple will now be able to hold hands as an engaged couple but will wait to have their first kiss until their wedding day.

Jessa told People about her relationship with Seewald, "We do have a lot in common. He is a mellow personality, very romantic and very sweet. I am very cut and dried. And my sisters are coaching me on sweet romantic things to say."

Right before their engagement, Seewald told the mag that he and Jessa didn't feel pressured to get married quickly.

People always ask us when we are getting married," he said. "We don't feel pressure to get married. If there's any pressure, it's a good kind of pressure."

Just last month, there was speculation that the couple would be walking down the aisle real soon after rumors surfaced that Duggar and Seewald would get engaged during an overseas mission trip.

The couple were on a "Seekers of Souls" mission and will visit Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to help "those who are hopeless so they may become believers of our Lord, which has become our vision and passion in following both the example of Christ and Paul."

Duggar and Seewald first started dating back in September. According to ABC News, the couple take their courtship very seriously, as they are only allowed to side-hug with kissing or any other physical contact off-limits. The couple has been on dates, but only when a chaperone is present.
