alexa January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 I will say that for a destination wedding, it was nice to see a theme and effort put into it other than just showing up on the beach and then having a reception (nothing wrong with that though!). They clearly did a different twist than what you expect from a Hawaii wedding, and I like how a lot of it photographs. That said, I agree the mesh insert on her dress is odd, and I am not sure why everyone was in white. I appreciate that she didn't mind not standing out, but it really is kind of different to have all of the other women in white too and not separating out who is in what role. I also think some of the pics it was hard to see the people very well. I know sometimes when pics are put online or in magazines they are scaled in a way you can't see the detail, but I hope her real pictures do not look that distant that you have to really work so hard to see the people in the photo. It was like many of them were taken at too far of a distance. 2 Link to comment

That’s kind of crazy ‘cause I remember a year ago we were doing ‘happy couples [weekend on The Bachelor]’ and talking about getting married and wanting to do that, even last year, so it’s awesome that the day is finally here.” Weren't the happy couple's weekends with Becca though? Or did TPTB also give Arie some weekends with Lauren as a reward for letting them film his breakup with Becca? 6 hours ago, StatisticalOutlier said: But that mesh insert in her dress is just vile, and casts a pall over the whole thing for me. I don't like the mesh inserts either (there's one on each side as well as the one in the front), but I wonder if they were meant to accommodate the pregnancy. You can't really predict the rate at which a pregnant woman will gain weight or when her belly will "pop", and it's much easier to sew in a bigger mesh panel at the last minute than it is to alter the gown itself.

I’d love to photobomb her perfect wedding pubes theme in my stretched out target bikini with all my ungroomed hair sticking out everywhere. I’ll show you wedding day pubes, man. sorry, I had a bad day at work. The mesh inserts ruin her hey look at my boobs dress. Fake flesh fabric always looks fake and not flesh like at all.

If you were trying to give a wedding planner an idea of how you wanted everything to look, showing them pictures or referencing scenes from a movie would be more helpful than passages from a book. A Twilight wedding is not for me but it's not like she made Arie wear sparkle makeup. It's a ceremony in a forest setting. Even if she got the idea as a teenager watching the first Breaking Dawn, it's not particularly odd, as far as weddings go. At her age, she could just as easily have had a full Disney Princess or Harry Potter theme (which is fine, if it's your wedding and it makes you happy, but obviously stands out more as a fangirl thing compared to this).

leighdear January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 (edited) I think the wedding venue was stunning. A gorgeous woodland setting, and very reminiscent of Bella & Edward's wedding. It's a popular theme for that kind of setting. I think definitely a more original and classy place, compared to the ordinary and expectedly conventional hotel locations of the other Bachelor weddings. And not to forget the horrendously cheap & low-rent beach wedding of Carly and her baby daddy. That was just ridiculous. I strangely even like the white dresses her bridesmaids wore. I think one of them, Maquel was one of the contestants with Lauren. Isn't she one that left, then came back? Edited January 18, 2019 by leighdear 5 Link to comment
call me ishmael January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 I did think it was strange that Arie did refer to it as an “old world” setting. I don’t think that Hawaii is what is usually meant by the phrase “old world.” 3 Link to comment

Lauren and Arie, and their families, could certainly afford a nice wedding. They won’t have any more IG followers because of it. Maybe they really do love each other that much. More importantly, interesting that they are back in The Bachelor’s good graces! While no one has to get married anymore, that doesn't mean the pressure to get married has disappeared. For a lot of people/families, if you plan on having a family with someone, you are marrying them. Families where living with someone before marriage, even if you're engaged, is still a bit radically modern. There are places where appearances matter and if the woman is pregnant and there are no plans to marry, then it's assumed something must be wrong with one or both of them. Now, I don't necessarily think either is being dragged to the altar kicking and screaming but I get the impression from both families that kids and marriage go hand-in-hand. I also never got the impression that they were out of The Bachelor's good graces. While a lot of people were mad at Ari for his bait and switch last season, that's the kind of thing this show lives for. It's controversy. It's drama. It's buzz. And Ari let them film it. Not that they care but Lauren and Arie ending up together will be considered a success story for the series even if the season they were on ended up with an ugly breakup. 3 Link to comment

So now she’s writing songs with a country music singer and raving about how cute he is on social media. I was trying to figure out why he looked so familiar but I had no idea what he sang. Then it hit me. It’s Luke Pell! So Alisa dumps one cheater to then get involved with a guy the whole country watched treat Stassi like garbage on national TV.

He had tears in his eyes! A few days later he drops her cold. It seemed downright pathological to me. He wasn't very nice to JoJo either, he was in her final four and made her meet his entire town during the hometown visit, then said something that seemed to imply he wasn't that into her until he saw her in those Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots. One of the worst of the bachelor family IMO. Edited January 20, 2019 by JudyObscure 13 Link to comment

I do recall someone once pulling a “can I speak with you for a moment?” when they were all lined up for the rose ceremony and self-eliminating immediately before the first rose was doled out. I can’t recall what season, but it was a long time ago. I think popular consensus was she was going to be sent home anyway and was saving face. There have also been a number of times that people have self-eliminated at cocktail parties, group dates, and showing up at the lead’s room for a talk. I assume producers tell them to do it then rather than at the RC, but you’d think they’d push for the other way around to ramp up the drama quotient. I think my favorite ever was when Ali went to Frank’s (her obvious frontrunner) hometown, and he reconnected with his ex, so when he was forced to go to whatever tropical locale for overnights, he was all, sorry, Ali, I’m back with my true love! But, again, the conversation happened at a hotel room, not the RC. Edited January 21, 2019 by JenE4 3 Link to comment

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't tried it yet. It's dramatic, it's "never been done before" all the bait they love to dangle during commercials. Sure, it would make the Bachelor look bad, but I mean, come on, the Bach hasn't actually been a "catch" in years. So pick someone unpopular and have an 'ette dump him at the rose ceremony. Then she'd either be a huge villain (if the audience likes the lead) who can show up on Paradise for her redemption, or a hero (if we think the lead is a major tool) we will all be clamoring to see as Bachelorette because she's not going to hold any punches. 5 Link to comment

saber5055 January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 The news today did a segment on The Bachelor. Focus was on how much people get paid. ABC would not disclose how much The Bach is paid, but did say it's SIX FIGURES. So yeah, for $100,000 (and probably more), I'd prostitute myself on national tv too. They also said the women have to pay their own expenses and bring their own clothes, and they get no $ for doing the show. I think we all figured/knew that anyway. So they have a better reason to grouse about "time wasted" with no return, like no travel or cool dates or anything. Hopefully, they get PTO from work.
