'19 Kids and Counting' Duggar Family News: Jessa Duggar Shares Love Letter From Ben Seewald and Wedding Picture on Instagram

Three months after their wedding, Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are more in love than ever as Jessa took to her Instagram to post her husband's recent hand-penned letter for her.

The note, written in neat cursive, expresses all the things that Ben loves about his wife. "He writes the sweetest love letters," Jessa captioned the picture. "You're a gem! I'm so blessed to be your wife!"

Ben writes, "My Dearest Jessa, When you smile at me, it takes my breath away, like my heart has been touched by an angel. Your eyes sparkle like the first stars on a dark night. Your smile brightens my spirit like the first gleams of sunrise after a crisp autumn night in the Arkansas Ozarks."

"But the most wonderful thing about you when you smile at me," the letter continues, "is that it shines forth radiant beams of warmest love and affection … it's worth a thousand words, even the most eloquent words of affirmation. Your smile could melt the age old ice cap of Antarctica. I love you more than fondest words and fairest speech can express. Love, Ben."

Ben and Jessa got married on Nov. 1 in Arkansas with more than 1,000 guests in attendance. Recently, the "19 Kids and Counting Star" shared a wedding photo on Instagram on Wednesday, February 4. In the picture, Ben and Jessa are kissing, while the kids and other unmarried members of the Duggar family look on in mixed surprise and shock. Married couple Josh and Anna is seen kissing, and Jim Bob and Michelle look pleasantly surprised.

Jessa captioned the picture, "Lol! We always have to do at least one goofy shot…@duggarfam Gotta love those family photos!"
