Us Weekly posted an exclusive picture of the nuptials [9] that shows the 37-year-old race car driver [10] and 27-year-old sales executive [11]told Us Weekly [12]. "It's been a year. That's kind of crazy 'cause I remember a year ago we were doing 'happy couples [weekend on The Bachelor [13]]' and talking about getting married and wanting to do that, even last year, so it's awesome that the day is finally here."
The duo first met while filming season 22 of The Bachelor in 2017. Arie initially chose Becca Kufrin [14] in the finale and proposed to her before dumping her on national TV [15]. He then decided to ask Lauren for her hand in marriage [16] during the After the Final Rose special, which caused quite a stir among fans [17] and members of the cast [18]. Around eight months later, Arie and Lauren announced that they're expecting their first child [19].
It started off as a whirlwind engagement for the two, but we're looking forward to seeing what the future holds for them!
