The matriarch and patriarch of "19 Kids and Counting" demonstrated their love for one another by sharing a passionate picture on Sunday.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar sent their daughter, Jessa, a photo of themselves locked in a kiss, and Jessa shared the picture on Instagram.

"My parents texted me this picture!" Jessa wrote in the caption. "This year marks 30 years of marriage, and they're still in that "honeymoon" stage! It's great to see older married couples still so madly in love! I love you Mom & Dad! @duggarfam."

The picture was also a reference to an intimate photo Jessa posted of herself and her new husband, Ben Seewald, kissing.

"It's great living life with your best friend! @ben_seewald" she captioned the affectionate picture.

Jessa, 22, and Ben, 19, were married on November 1 in Bentonville, Arkansas. Rather than experience their first kiss at the altar after the pastor pronounced them man and wife, the young couple decided to kiss in private after the ceremony and Jessa's parents kissed in front of the wedding guests instead.

The Seewalds also broke tradition by skipping the traditional wedding cake. The free-spirited couple opted for a more casual dessert.

"I don't really like cake," Jessa explained to People.com. "We wanted ice cream sundaes instead."

Guests topped their sundaes with chocolate or caramel syrup, candy, or even cookies. Jessa chose chocolate ice cream for her sundae, while Ben enjoyed mint-flavoured ice cream.

Another departure from tradition occurred when Jessa chose not to wear a white wedding dress. Her flowing Tesori Bridal gown was in a blush shade, and included a fully-beaded Swarovski crystal and pearl bodice.

"It was the second dress I tried on," Jessa said. "I love it."

Fans of the Duggar family can look forward to watching the wedding festivities on this season's "19 Kids & Counting". The hit series airs Tuesdays at 9pm ET on TLC.

The medieval origins of Mothering Sunday

What is most significant is that the particular tradition of ‘Mothering Sunday’ – as found in the UK, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries – has its roots in an event that is much older than the US celebration and the commercial card-giving and gift-giving that the US event has inspired. And these roots express Christian beliefs and practices.
