Jill Duggar releases behind-the-scenes videos from sister Jana's wedding

Jill Duggar Dillard was present when her sister Jana Duggar walked down the aisle on August 15. Almost a week after the wedding, Jill shared some behind-the-scenes footage from the big day.

On Tuesday, Count on graduate put together an Instagram reel with footage from the wedding of 34-year-old Jana and her husband Stephen Wissmann in Prairie Grove, Arkansas.

“đź’Ť She's married! Congratulations to my sister @janamduggar and her husband @stephenwissmann on their wedding last week. đź’ž,” 33-year-old Jill captioned her video, to which she contributed the soundtrack with Bette Midler's 1972 rendition of “Chapel of Love.”

The Instagram post showed shots of the venue and stills of some sweet details, like a cookie that read “The Wissmanns.” Jill also included a photo of the ceremony program, which listed the names of Jana's bridesmaids: her sister-in-law Abbie Duggar and her sisters Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar. Jessa Duggar Seewald was Jana's maid of honor.

Jill wore a sleeveless black mini dress, as seen in snaps of her and husband Derick Dillard at the event. The couple posed with the newlyweds in a foursome photo and in another shot with other members of the famously packed family.

The Instagram reel also showed Jana and Wissmann dancing together while guests held sparklers, a sweet part of the “classic, elegant” wedding, as the bride described it to PEOPLE.

“I think this is one of those things that all girls imagine one day,” Jana said of her wedding a few days before the ceremony. “For me, it felt like, 'Okay, this is never going to happen.' But now I'm starting to see how I see it. Reality is starting to set in. And I'm like, 'Wow, this is really something I've dreamed of.' And just seeing it come true is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It's a dream come true.”

Jana also told PEOPLE how important it was that her family was there for this memorable event.

“Since we come from two larger families (Wissmann is one of 13 siblings), we love to come together and celebrate moments like this,” Jana said. “And having them all here just means a lot to us.”
