AceShowbiz - Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, who met on "Bachelor in Paradise season 2", are among a few of "Bachelor" franchise couples who made it to the altar. Their wedding was televised as part of "Bachelor at 20: A Celebration of Love" that aired on Valentine's Day, February 14.
The couple got married at the St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California. "The Bachelor" host Chris Harrison officiated the ceremony and their vows were so romantic. Tanner told Jade, "From the moment we met, it was over for me. My heart loved you even when my head told me it was way too early. You went from a girl I thought was cute on TV to my best friend in the entire world, and I wouldn't spend my life with anyone but you."
He continued, "And I promise to go through the ups and downs of life alongside you because the downs with you are even better than the ups without. I promise to remember that you are always right, and I'm always wrong. Jade, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I feel like the luckiest man in the world to be marrying you. I love you today, I will love you tomorrow and I can't wait to love you for the rest of my life."
Jade admitted she was afraid to fully open herself up to somebody until she met Tanner. "Tanner, you are the love of my life. And we both know that I am not perfect, but I promise to always give you my best. And I promise to love you all of my life, for loving you will never grow old."
But that wasn't the only highlight of the special as former Bachelors and Bachelorettes reunited at the wedding. Trista Sutter and Ryan Sutter came together, and so did Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth who are still engaged but are not rushed to get married yet. Jason Mesnick came alone, but assured that he's still happily married to Molly Mesnick who had to take care of their kids at home.
Chris Soules, who sent home Jade in his season of "The Bachelor", confirmed that he's single after splitting from Whitney Bischoff. He didn't find attending the wedding awkward though. "Jade's mom came up to me and said, 'You're the reason all this happened. I told Jade to go on the show to meet you,' " Chris shared. "And obviously it didn't work out between her and I but the end result was her finding true love with Tanner. So that was a cool moment when she told me that."
Current Bachelor Ben Higgins and former Bachelor Bob Guiney were also there, though not everyone of them really knew Jade and Tanner. Andi Dorfman admitted, "I've seen them on TV and I've been obsessed with their story...I'm a total fangirl!"
