Johannah Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame has married David Swanson.

The 20-year-old daughter of Jim and Michelle Duggar – the 16th of the couple's 19 kids – tied the knot with David on September 10.

The news comes amid public records reviewed by Us Weekly.

Newlyweds Johannah and David initially planned to wed on October 10, per their profile on The Knot. 

Instead, they were married by Gospel Light Baptist Church minister Noel Cwenar one month early.

David is the younger brother of Johannah's sister-in-law Lauren Swanson, who married her older brother Josiah Duggar in 2018.

No photos from the wedding have been published publicly.

However, Jessa Duggar uploaded an Instagram carousel on September 17, featuring some of her sisters.

The roundup of photos shared with her 2.4 million followers was captioned, 'The last month or two, in no particular order ✨.'

The Duggars rose to national recognition in 2008 on their family reality series. 

The show was canceled in 2015 following the Duggars' firstborn son Josh's admission to molesting multiple girls, including his younger sisters. 

A spinoff show called Counting On debuted in 2015, and ended in 2021. 

Josh is serving a prison sentence of more than 12 years as a result of his 2021 conviction for receiving and possessing material depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. 

He's slated to be released on February 2, 2033, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' website.

Meanwhile, another one of Jim and Michelle's sons, 31-year-old Joseph Duggar, was arrested this past March alongside wife Kendra. 

He is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior for molesting a victim under 12 and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person over 18.

The charges stem from allegations he touched a nine-year-old girl on her genitals and underwear in Florida during a 2020 vacation.

Kendra, who was arrested two days after her husband, has been charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree and four counts of false imprisonment in the second degree.

The couple share four children.
