Amanda, will you accept this rose?
- Yes, I will. - Thank you.
..."The Bachelor" craze has taken the country by storm..
[crowd cheering]

Even the President of the United Statesis in on the fun.
The winner gets a billion-dollar war chest.
The runner up gets to be
the bachelor on the next season of "The Bachelor."
[crowd laughing]
And we owe all our success to "Bachelor Nation."
(male #1) "Bachelor" fans are the best fans in the world.
They're just so loyal
they're kind of like family to me.
(Chris) And tonight, it's the most epic party
in "Bachelor" history as we celebrate 20 seasons.
All your favorite bachelors and bachelorettes are here.
(Ben H.) It's incredible. I'm here at the biggest gathering
of Bachelor alums in history.
(Chris) And then a fairy-tale wedding as one of our very own
"Bachelor" couples tie the knot.
We're all just looking to find the right one.
And with so much romance in the air
who else will feel the love?
If he's not making any moves tonight
at a wedding with an open bar, I'm gonna murder him.
Tonight is the most star-studded, jaw-dropping..
I'm pregnant!

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.
...and wild..
Bad decision number one.
Who knows what's yet to come.
...edition of "The Bachelor" ever
on this celebration of love.
And it all starts right now.
[instrumental music]
Good evening, happy Valentine's Day
and welcome to "The Bachelor At 20, A Celebration Of Love."
I'm Chris Harrison.
Yes, 20 seasons of romance
heartache and everlasting love
but this is also a celebration of you
the fans, who have been with us for all 20 seasons.
You're all a part of "The Bachelor" family
along with those who've appeared on "The Bachelorette"
"Bachelor In Paradise" and even "Bachelor Pad."
May it rest in peace.
It all began when a man name Alex Michel
started this journey.
And now, ten marriages, countless engagements
hundreds of hot tubs and plenty of tears later
we're all here to celebrate.
In "Bachelor Nation" do I have a treat for you.
This is the single largest gathering
of "Bachelor" alumni in history
all here to relive the most memorable
most dramatic and most romantic moments
from the past 20 seasons, but that's not all.
Another "Bachelor" couple is about to tie the knot.
That's right, here tonight
one of our very own couples will be getting married
and it's all starting right now.
So let's take a look at who's showing up
for the biggest celebration of the year.
[instrumental music]
Hi!
- How are you? - Really good. Thank you.
(male #2) 'You never know who's gonna show up.'
- 'I know.' - Hi. Hi.
How are you? You look fabulous.
- Did you find a date? - Um, well..
- 'Ben is my date, actually.' - 'Oh.'
Today is the day that we celebrate love
which has been the purpose of this show
for the last 20 seasons.
It's great to be here and seeing and meeting people.
(Ben) Ali Fedotowsky
Andrew Firestone. It's incredible.
It think it's a cause for celebration.
And, um, it's, it's fun to be here
to see a lot of the, you know
kind of familiar faces from over the years
Trista and Ryan, Bob Guiney
so many former bachelor, bachelorettes
all in the same room.
There's like a lot of love in "The Bachelor" family.
(Ali) It's just a feel-good show, it leads to love
it leads to babies, it leads to marriages.
It creates all these lifelong friendships.
I hope it lasts forever.
I think at the end of the day, "The Bachelor's" responsible
for everyone's love and happiness in this world.
[laughing]
There's some young, hot, fresh meat there.
Me and Maney are like the old ladies of the group
that are not married yet.
(Clare) We're all just looking to find the right one.
Be like, let's put you in a room full of more single men..
That are younger.
'...that are younger and just tease you'
'because we still have the hope for it.'
Bring it one.
[instrumental music]
- 'Hi.' - 'How you doin', good lookin'?'
We're gonna have a good time.
(Shawn) There's so many
hot girls here tonight.
It's crazy.
This is a celebration of love
but we're gonna party.
You know, I'm still a bachelor, who knows what's gonna happen.
How can you not wanna get married when you're in this..
- Lookin' at that, I'm almost-- - Fairy tale. Yeah, exactly.
(female #1) 'And smile.'
- I'm June, July. - Yeah.
- You're due like any day. - Five weeks.
Do you think you have a, a future bachelor in there?
Oh, yeah, Steven and I
are already planning the next show out.
Here we are now with
the 20th season of "The Bachelor."
It's crazy, like, I don't feel like it's ever gonna end.
I feel like Chris Harrison's gonna be, like, with a walker
like, bringing out these roses and be like
"Will you accept this final rose?"
Sort of good, like 80-year-old Chris Harrison, you think?
I'm hungry.
Us pregnant women need to eat.
- Okay, so let me ask you this. - 'What?'
Looking around, who do you see
kind of maybe, like, connecting?
- What about Jared and Ashley? - Are they mingling?
(female #2) 'I know they've seen each other in the meantime--'
Are they seeing each other or like--
Are they seeing each other?
Do you remember when you wanted to date Jade?
[laughing]
(Ashley) Last time you guys saw me
I had my heart smashed by Jared
and I was crying a lot, like waterfalls every day
but I haven't cried for a long time now
because Jared and I have cultivated
a very nice friendship since "Paradise.."
This is, this is weird. This is really weird.
...but if he's not making any moves tonight
at a wedding with an open bar
I'm gonna murder him.
I just wanna sit, I wanna go out there.
I don't remember. You still have..
[indistinct chattering]
(male #3) 'Oh, I love that!'
(Chris) Coming up
shocking surprises
you'll have to see to believe..
Boy, you've changed!
We're about seven months.
...and then
it's the biggest celebration of the year
as one of our very own
"Bachelor" couples gets married..
I love love. I'm so excited to be here.
...but where more than one couple have a happy ending.
I would go to third base with Jared tonight. That's fine.
All that and more when we return.
[theme music]
Hey, everybody, it's Emily
from season 15 of "The Bachelor"
and season 8 of "The Bachelorette"
and this is my sweet son, Jennings.
Uh, I'm so sorry I couldn't be there with you guys tonight.
Hello, everyone, I'm Aaron Buerge
from season two of "The Bachelor."
I just can't believe it's been
20 amazing seasons.
And, uh, I do have three beautiful daughters.
Yeah, so I'm still surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women.
- Hi, everyone, I'm Desiree. - I'm Chris.
(Chris) And we just celebrated our one-year anniversary.
And we're sad that we couldn't make it to the celebration.
Hey, everyone, I'm Dr. Travis Stork.
You may remember me as the bachelor in Paris
way back in season eight.
Sorry, I can't be there tonight
but I just wanted to send my well wishes.
We're Ashley and J.P. from "The Bachelorette" season seven
and this is our son, Ford.
- Say hi, Ford. - Hi, buddy.
(JP) We have so many fond memories, but I think
what takes the cake is our engagement
the, that was the turning point in our lives
and it all resulted in this.
[laughing]
[instrumental music]
Welcome back to this very special edition
of "The Bachelor At 20, A Celebration of Love."
(Chris) The finishing touches are being put
on the most romantic wedding
in "Bachelor" history
and the star-studded
cocktail party
is already in full effect.
Now, I have with me here our very first
bachelorette-bachelor royalty really
the godmother of it all, Trista, Ryan Sutter.
- Hi. - Hey, guys.
- How are you, my friend? - Good to see ya.
It's been obviously 20 seasons of "The Bachelor"
we're celebrating that
but you've been here since day one.
You were one of the first women out of the very first--
(Trista) I think I was in the first limo.
- Hi. - Hi, I'm Alex.
Nice to meet you. I'm Krista.
- Nice to meet you, Krista. - You, too.
Do you have a moment that stands out?
I mean, when he walked out of the limo..
- Hi. - 'How are you?'
Really good. It's nice to finally meet you.
- You look ravishing. - Thank you.
- What's your name? - Ryan.
- Ryan, nice to meet you. - You, too.
(Trista) The first glance of my future husband..
You know, I was thinking
12 years ago, this last December
it was you guys doin' this.
You know, 26 million people watched that.
- I will honor you.. - 'I will honor you..'
- '...as my husband..' - ...as my husband..
- '...forever.' - ...forever.
I now pronounce you husband and wife..
(Ryan) Helicopters were hovering over the hotel
because it was such an event.
(Trista) I know, but it was
the best day of our lives.
I feel like that wedding
let everybody know this, this is real.
I think it gave a lot of people hope, too.
I think that's the biggest thing that we see
just meeting the general public
as they, they just remember the show
and that it gave, gave them hope
that they could find somebody.
- It's good to see you, buddy. - Thanks, Chris.
And you, always.
Trista and Ryan, you guys go back inside, enjoy.
We got a great night ahead of us.
As we've seen over the years, you know
falling in love, it can be a roller coaster.
"The Bachelor's" not just roses, fairy tale dates and proposals.
It's real people on real emotional journeys
to find the love of their life.
Let's take a look back at 20 seasons of romance
some tears and a lot of love.
(male #4) I'm the bachelor, I mean
this is absolutely nuts.
I never would have dreamed
I'd be in this position right now.
I'm the queen of the world!
I don't want this to end.
(male #5) There's no place on Earth I'd rather be right now.
(male #6) We literally just went over the top of the Matterhorn.
(male #7) The most powerful emotion is love.
It endures.
I mean that is what I'm looking for
that's what I'm gonna strive for.
And most important of all, you need to be with someone
that you love spending every single day of your life with.
(Chris) Over the years, the most eligible men and women
in the country have come to "The Bachelor"
with one dream..
(Jason) I'm willing to take the leap of faith for love
because I know when I find it, it's gonna be amazing.
(Trista) More than anything, I want a family
and I want to be a wife
and I want a husband.
I just want that life.
(Sean) I'm about to embark upon
the most amazing journey ever.
I'm so very hopeful
that I might find the love of my life.
Yeah, I believe she's out there and I can't wait to find her.
(Chris) Their fairy tales began with a hope
of finding their one true love.
- Hello. - Hi, Jason.
- 'How are you?' - I'm Molly.
- 'Molly.' - It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
- How are you? - Hi, Andrew, I'm Jen.
- 'Nice to meet you, Jen.' - Nice to meet you, too.
You are the reason why I'm here.
And somehow, in this crazy life, we both ended up here.
- Mm-hmm. - Um..
- It's crazy. - It's real crazy.
Some first impressions left little to be desired.
Wow!
[hooting]
Are you okay?
[laughing]
(male #8) 'Nice horse!'
I wanted to take my face out of the game.
- 'Ooh!' - Oh, no.
- Gonna knock...okay. - Okay.
[chuckling]
- 'Oh, my..' - Wow!
- Who does that? - I don't know.
- Apparently you, but I like it. - I got balls.
[chuckling] Oh, well, I hope not.
For the lucky ones, it was magic
from the moment they first met.
- You look ravishing. - Thank you.
- How you doin'? - Good. How are you?
Wow, that dress is stunningly gorgeous.
Thank you so much. What's your name?
- JP. - JP, nice to meet you.
Very nice to, nice to meet you, too.
Des, will you, uh.. Sorry, I'm just really nervous.
Will you, will you mind if I tie my shoe?
[laughing] I-I saw it, it was untied..
Oh, my God.
- Hi. - 'Hi, nice to meet you.'
It's so nice to meet you.
- Oh, you look beautiful. - Thank you.
I'm really glad it's you. You're such a hunk.
[chuckling] Thank you so much.
They began to open their hearts.
(Ryan) "She's living in my dreams, she's a vision and it seems
that I'm falling for something about her."
That was beautiful.
Do you think that, uh
that my future wife is in this group?
You are an amazingly beautiful person inside, you know?
And I've never felt so close to somebody so quickly.
[chuckles]
And love began to blossom.
(Catherine) I have never been in a place
to accept great love.
And I'm totally ready, I wanna be with him.
I'm falling in love with you.
Oh, my God. Ah!
(Shawn) I feel like this is where I'm meant to be
and everything that I've done before this in my life
has led up to this moment. And it's perfect.
(Chris) But while it was a fantasy for some..
"This is not the end, but only the beginning. Molly."
I love you.
Cheers to you being
the greatest man I've ever known.
I just felt so lucky
to be that person that is receiving his love.
(Chris) The love story inevitably ended in heartbreak for others..
[sighs]
Will you marry me
and make me the happiest man on Earth?
- I'm sorry. - Wow.
I didn't see this one coming.
Lindsay, this is the toughest thing I've ever had to do.
I want to give you my heart so bad..
...but my heart's
'leading me somewhere else.'
[sobbing] This is not fair, it's not fair.
...but through the tears..
[sobbing]
I don't know what you think I'm missing..
[sobbing]
...and the breakdowns..
I would never want my children
having a father like you.
Okay.
[sobbing] It just hurts my heart.
If I listen to my heart, I can't choose you.
[sobbing] I just feel so foolish..
[sobbing] ...and so absolutely devastated.
...love ultimately prevailed.
(Catherine) It is the biggest day of my life.
I'm nervous, I'm scared
I'm excited.
I'm so invested in this, it's gonna change my life.
(Jason) I'm pretty nervous, I'm not gonna lie
but I'm 100% committed in this
and I'm gonna do the best I can
to let her know that.
(Trista) I feel like nothing else
I've ever felt before.
All my cares just disappeared
and I knew that everything was right in the universe.
It's so hard to believe where this all started
and how far we've come.
From the moment that I saw you
when I stepped outside that limo that first night
I knew that my life was never gonna be the same.
I can now tell you without reservation
that I'm in love with you.
I want to spend the rest of my life..
...telling you I love you.
You make me wanna be a better person
and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
- This is my leap of faith. - Mm.
[instrumental music]
- Will you marry me? - Yes.
Oh, oh, my gosh!
(Catherine) Proposal of a lifetime.
(Chris) Coming up..
It's electric, I mean
this is an exciting night.
More confessions
from "Bachelor" favorites.
Listen, I was there to win.
My biggest fear was that I would ruin it.
And then, you won't believe
who's the latest "Bachelor" couple to tie the knot
but it wouldn't be a "Bachelor" wedding without a few tears.
(Ashley) When is it gonna be my time?
Oh, this sucks.
[theme music]
No, no, no. I don't know. Somebody.
- 'He's working.' - 'Oh, he's working hard.'
I'm really hoping that the romance of tonight
in the wedding is gonna rub off on Jerry and, like
I get some romance, like, "Can you just touch me a little bit
'and little wedding makeout maybe?"'
We have all these very attractive man in our presence.
Not you.
Welcome back to the special edition of "The Bachelor."
We're here at the St. Regis Monarch beach
celebrating 20 seasons of the show.
And we are surrounded by many familiar faces here tonight.
Joining us now, number-19 bachelor, Chris Soules.
- How are doing, man? - Mr. Harrison.
What's going on inside?
I'm out here working. Is it good?
Yeah, it's-it's electric.
I mean, this is an exciting night.
I mean, I'm seeing, uh, you know
bachelors from the past
bachelorettes from the past
and seeing girls that were on my season
which, you know, have been awkward, but it's actually nice
to see them again and know that they're doing well.
There are some that have, have have found great relationships.
And you're single again, so I mean, uh
weddings are a good place to find somebody.
Yeah, you know, knock on wood.
I'm still working for you, man.
I'm not off the park yet. I'm still working for you.
Perfect, perfect. So you gotta stick around all night.
Obviously, you know, "The Bachelor" is all about love
but it's filled with drama.
Is there a moment from your season that you're like
"Wow, that really stood out to me?"
One date that was pretty much, uh
something I never really expected
to go through in my entire life
was the two-on-one in the Badlands.
Are you kidding me, Chris!
I'm so sorry.
It's hurtful.
That was, uh, one of the most dramatic "Bachelor" episodes
of "Bachelor" history I think. Wouldn't you say?
I would say so, easily.
Well, it's always good to see you, my friend.
Enjoy the wedding tonight.
Good to see you, too, Chris. Thanks.
Over the years, many men and women
have come to "The Bachelor"
searching for their soul mate
but before they were competing
to find love, they had to get
our attention first.
And some hopefuls will go to great lengths to do so.
Let's go back to the vault and take a look
at some of our casting tapes from the past 20 seasons.
Some very successful
and some not so much.
Hello there!
(Chris) Over the years, our casting department has received
tens of thousands of submission tapes.
- Hey, guys. - Come on in.
Stay well.
(Juan) My name is Juan Pablo Galavis.
Nope, never been married.
I came up to New York City
and fell in love with the city
but now I wanna fall in love with someone.
I'm a coal miner's daughter from West Virginia.
I have all my teeth, see.
And many "Bachelor" hopefuls
will do anything to get noticed.
So here we go.
I did gymnastics for years, so..
(female #3) 'Oh, good Lord, not on concrete.'
Ta-da!
I saved you a spot right here, "Bachelor."
[grunting]
[screaming]
Ahh!
[singing]
They share their talents.
That's Micah Heisler golf swing.
(Kaitlyn) I can definitely sing, I can definitely dance.
I didn't even practice that.
- 'Ready?' - Okay.
I think I'll do it better when I'm intoxicated.
(Kelly) I dance kind of like a stripper.
Is that pathetic? No? Because I do.
My name is Justin "Rated R" Rego
and I'm here in the forest training.
(Chris) They reveals their secrets.
Actually I was a virgin until about two weeks ago.
It's true.
I can stick my fist in my mouth.
- 'Oh, my gosh!' - Ew, really? Gross.
(Andi) I can stick my stomach out like I'm pregnant.
This is really bad. Okay.
And sometimes I park in the pregnancy spot at Publix
and I waddle in.
Stay focused, stay focused.
(Chris) Some have a hard time
communicating..
I'm 28 and I live in Dallas, Texas right now.
(male #9) 'Yeah, that's way intense.'
'Loosen up a little bit.'
Uh, like how we're gonna loosen it up?
...while others couldn't be more clear.
(female #4) I'm not getting any younger
and my eggs are not becoming anymore fertile.
...and some are just awkward.
There's a snake in my pants.
(female #5) 'Well, I really like doing Bikram Yoga.'
So I'll show you guys a couple of poses.
- 'She just fell.' - Okay, cut it.
And I wonder why I've never made it on a third date.
Let's start over!
Still, we shift through all the submissions..
Pick me to be on "The Bachelor!"
I hope you guys get to know me a little bit better.
If you have anything else, feel free to ask.
...looking for the most genuine
hopeless romantics we can find.
I am JP Rosenbaum.
I am 20, wish I was, I'm 33.
Why do I wanna come on "The Bachelor?"
I always end up kind of being a booty call.
I'm tired of frogs.
I wanna find my prince.
But the biggest standouts
are the ones who show us
who they really are..
I don't wanna be alone.
I don't wanna sit every night
and watch "Golden Girls" for the rest of my life.
I wanna do it right this time
and I feel like I did it wrong the last time.
You know, the U2 song "I Haven't Found What I'm Looking For?"
Yeah, that's me.
I'm always alone. Um, yeah.
I love you. Thank you.
...because at our core, "The Bachelor"
is all about helping people find their one true love.
[exhales]
Will you marry me?
Yes, a thousand times.
And for many of our hopefuls, they had no idea
how far their journey would take them.
(Molly) I had a great experience in college
had all the fun partying
but now I'm ready to settle down and move on with my life
and get out of that phase and move on to the next.
In front of all of our friends and all of our family
I love you forever.
I was the typical
late-20's single guy living in New York
and it was just kind of a pattern with me.
You may now kiss your bride.
[crowd cheering]
Please, please, please
help me find Mrs. Right.
I now pronounce you man and wife!
(Sean Lowe) I'm so thankful that I decided to take the leap of faith
and put myself through this 'cause it's, it's all paid off.
I love you.
Up next on this celebration of love
we'll count down the most dramatic..
- If I don't know you-- - Please stop interrupting me!
...scandalous and steamiest moments
from the past 20 seasons of "The Bachelor."
Plus, a visit with everyone's
new favorite bachelor, Ben Higgins.
And then a "Bachelor" wedding, that's right, Jade and Tanner
from "Bachelor In Paradise" are tying the knot.
It's all coming up when this very special tribute
to "The Bachelor" returns.
[instrumental music]
- Oh, are you joking? - Hey, let's party!
Whoo! Let's just do this all night.
'What, we got a wedding to go to?'
Welcome back to this once-in-a-lifetime event
"The Bachelor At 20, A Celebration Of Love."
The ultimate "Bachelor" alum, Ms. Michelle Money.
Good to see you. You look great.
Thank you. You, too. This is lovely.
I call you the ultimate "Bachelor" alum
because, well, you were on "The Bachelor"
'you were on "Bachelor Pad"'
and you were on season one of "Bachelor In Paradise."
You've been on just about every show we've done.
Yeah, so we're just gonna talk less about that..
And more about..
...more about anything other than that.
I wanna talk about memorable moments, though.
Um, one involved you and Bachelor Brad Womack.
You were sneaking over to his place in Costa Rica.
- Remember that? - Oh, I remember.
- Hola. - What are you doing?
Just wanted to see ya.
- I'm glad you're here. - Thank you.
And, uh, this is gonna be a wonderful night.
No, I know, and I'm so happy for Jade and Tanner.
I mean, this really can happen. You really can find love here.
Well, people are starting to take their seats.
- So make your way. - Well, awesome. Thank you.
- Thank you. I'll see you soon. - Alright. Have a good one.
In their quest for a fairy-tale ending
some of our bachelors have found themselves
in the most dramatic scandals
and controversial moments in American television history.
Let's take a look at some of your
favorite sensational moments.
Like any good train wreck, you won't be able to look away.
First stop
it wouldn't be "The Bachelor"
without some hot-tub action.
The number-three steamiest hot-tub moment
in "Bachelor" history is..
(Jason) I saw a side of her
that I hadn't seen before
like, I could feel her hands on me.
(Chris) Jason and Jillian heating things up
on "Bachelor" season 13.
(Jason) It was steaming in there.
[moaning]
(Chris) The second steamiest hot tub..
(Ryan) Seeing Trista in a hot tub is actually kind of hard.
(Chris) ...Trista and Ryan's hot-tub rendezvous
from "Bachelorette" season one.
(Ryan) And sometimes we, if we're kissing
or if she kisses me or something
that makes it even harder.
[sighs]
[laughs]
I'm gonna need to take a dive into that ice water..
[laughs]
...immediately.
(Chris) And the steamiest hot-tub moment
in "Bachelor" history..
[laughs]
The marrow.
[laughs]
And next, people you love to hate.
Coming in at number three
Michelle Money from "Bachelor" season 15.
(Michelle) I got a rose and that was what I wanted more than anything.
I just need two minutes.
(female #6) Michelle definitely
is the type of person
who usually gets what she wants
and is very aggressive about it.
I think we should go send some girls home now.
(female #7) Michelle just seems
like evil bitch.
(Chris) Number two, Tierra
from "Bachelor" season 17.
I don't wanna do this, though.
(female #8) That's her way to grab attention.
- No. No. - Wanna go to the hospital?
Kind of worked out and-and benefited me.
This is so cold!
(female #9) Every single date
there is something with her.
I feel like it's the boy that cried wolf.
I'm like, 'This guy better marry me."
(Ashlee) I'm not friends with girls who like
my boyfriends, I'm not.
Ashlee, I was never rude to you.
Raised eyebrow, no good morning, no--
Raised eyebrow? Ashlee, I can't control my eyebrow!
(Chris) And at number one
Kelsey from "Bachelor" season 19.
(Kelsey) I love my story.
I was married. Unfortunately, he died.
I'm just, oh.
Isn't my story amazing?
It's tragic..
...but it's amazing.
(Ashley) Kelsey is phony baloney.
Fake smile, fake laugh.
[laughing]
[laughs]
[sobbing]
(Kelsey) 'I think I'm just having'
'a panic attack.'
I'm gonna get a rose tonight for sure.
(Chris) And next, the most dramatic moments
in "Bachelor" history.
I don't even know how to say this. Um..
You know, I had that, like, one-on-one date with Nick..
Kaitlyn's shocking confession from "Bachelorette" season 11.
That night we went back to my place..
...we had sex.
Coming in at number two..
(Jason) I came here to find somebody
to spend the rest of my life with.
'We're not right for each other.'
...Jason Mesnick's change of heart
from "Bachelor" season 13.
I do still have feelings for Molly.
So mad at you.
Leave me alone, please.
Thank you.
And the most dramatic moment in "Bachelor" history..
I'm so disgusted with you.
Disgusted with me? I'm disgusted that you--
You sold me out to a magazine for payment?
...Jake and Vienna's breakup on "Bachelor" season 14.
You don't know me and I wouldn't have done it, and if you--
If I don't know you, then why are we--
Please stop interrupting me!
The thing is, I would have never done this
to somebody that I, that I love.
I'm done with this.
You are the vainest person
I've ever met in my life!
I'm done. I am completely done with this.
"The Bachelor" has had its fair share of scandals.
The number three most scandalous moment is..
How do you know this?
[gasps]
...Justin's ungraceful exit
from "Bachelorette" season 6.
You probably really miss your girlfriend in Canada.
No, no, no, no. Sit down and talk like a man.
He just left. He went down the stairs.
- Is he really running from her? - Yeah.
Who does that?
(Ali) 'Justin, you're gonna regret this.'
You seriously are gonna walk away from me?
- You're gonna go out like this? - Absolutely.
Wow.
The second biggest scandal in "Bachelor" history..
(Courtney) Now I 've got something planned for him.
I don't know if he's ever skinny-dipped
with a model before. It could be fun.
(Chris) ...Courtney and Ben's did-they-or-didn't-they moment
from "Bachelor" season 16.
I feel like I'm winning.
And "The Bachelor's" biggest scandal is..
You entered into an inappropriate relationship
with one of our, with one of our staffers.
...Rozlyn's early departure from "Bachelor" season 14.
So go pack your stuff.
Rozlyn entered into an inappropriate relationship
'with someone who works on the show.'
When it comes to man cries, there are too many to count..
[sobbing] Come on, Chris..
[sniffles]
[sighs]
I feel like an idiot.
[sniffles]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
Aah. Son of a bitch.
[sniffles]
...but none will ever compare
to the most memorable man cry of all time
which will forever be known as pulling a Mesnick.
I don't know how I could ever let you go
other than that I'm in love with somebody else.
[sobbing]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[sobs]
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
Wow, what a ride it's been.
And someone who knows all about highs and lows
is here with me right now.
"Bachelor" 13, Jason Mesnick. What's up, buddy?
You and Molly, married, happy
in Seattle, kids. Everything's wonderful--
Yeah, we are still married, even though she's not here.
She's at home with the baby. Somebody had to stay home.
Well, I'm glad you're here, because, to me
one of the most dramatic moments throughout this 15 years
and that was t-the switch, you know, w-with Melissa and Molly.
But the thing you will probably be most famous for
and most known for, the Mesnick.
- Oh, God. - Right?
Let's see if I can find somebody.
I wanna teach somebody how to do a Mesnick.
Excuse, can you come here for a second?
Come on up. Chris Harrison.
- Brandon. - Hey, Brandon. What's up, bud?
Do you know what a, a full Mesnick is?
He's gonna teach you what a full Mesnick is. Go ahead.
Wait, first of all, have you ever really
cried deeply over a woman?
Unfortunately, probably once or twice.
Okay, so we need to create a balcony.
Well, this will be good right, right here. Right?
So remember that moment and just, like, let it go.
You want me to just Mesnick all over your arms?
No, no, no. Don't throw up. It's, like, cry.
[sobs]
Really heaving, though. Just, I mean, you got to..
That's it.
That was like a three-quarter Mesnick.
- Well, I mean-- - Thank you. I appreciate it.
- Thanks for helping us. - Three quarters--
You, you have gone down in "Bachelor" history for that.
I'm so proud.
And so Molly should always
know it was always for her.
Alright, brother. It's good to see you.
- Good to see you, too. - Glad you're here.
- Thanks for having me. - Number 13, Jason Mesnick.
Coming up, Bachelor Ben explains his tough decision..
My heart is in two different places
and it led me to fall in love with two women.
...followed by special performances
by Platinum artist Matt Nathanson
and Grammy-winning artist Seal
and then, it's the wildest..
Bad decision number one. Who knows what's yet to come?
...most dramatic"Bachelor" celebration of all time.
(Ali) There is a lot of single people here tonight
so you never know what can happen.
[instrumental music]
They'll be like, "They're the new couple!"
(Chris S.) When is the wedding gonna start?
It's gonna be like 30 minutes, I think.
Welcome back to "The Bachelor At 20, A Celebration Of Love."
As we all know, in life and love
you can't prepare for everything
and I've got someone here
who, well, none of us could prepare for..
Season 19, Ashley S.
- How are you? - Good to see you.
- Um..
- Boy, you've changed. - Yeah, I have.
You're engaged. You're getting married.
- Con-congratulations. - Thank you.
'But now I'd like to say congratulations.'
- 'You're with child.' - Yes, a baby boy.
How far along? Because you seem pregnant.
Yeah. Uh, we're about seven months.
That was this summer. So this is not too long--
I-I'm 29 weeks. That's not really seven months.
Not too long after, uh, "Paradise."
- Yeah. - So this happened fast.
Yeah, this happened real fast.
- Wow. - Yep.
When people talk to you, "Bachelor Nation," the fans
they love you. What do they talk about most?
Somebody came up to me today, actually, and was like
"Hey, uh, are you growing a pomegranate?"
And I was like, "Yeah, actually, I am."
What is that? That's a freaking onion!
I swear it's an onion. Can I please just pick it?
(male #10) 'Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, let's--'
If it's a pomegranate, then God bless it.
- 'Yeah.' - It is a pomegranate.
It is!
[branches rustling]
Wow!
What do you remember most about the show?
I think killing zombies was actually a highlight, for sure.
Well, that one's dead!
(female #10) 'Ashley, leave that one. He's, he's done.'
I feel like I'm in the, um..
...feel like Mesa Verde.
- Oh, my gosh! - Up close and personal.
The Mesa Verde.
Do people ask you all the time about Mesa Verde?
- No. Nobody asks me about-- - 'How could they not?'
No. Nobody asks me about it.
Congratulations on the engagement
on the impending birth of your child.
- 'This is fantastic.' - Thank you. Thank you so much.
- It's good to see you again. - Good to see you, too.
- Take care. - Bye.
Well, let's take a look at some of the funniest moments
to happen over the past 20 seasons
that no one was expecting.
It's time for bloopers.
Oh..
Crap!
Hey, hey!
- 'Hey.' - Oh, look at that.
- Oh! - Oh!
- Wait! - 'Yeah!'
You're about to meet a woman that I really care about
and that sticks are gonna be flying in the background.
- Whoa! - 'Oh, my God!'
Oh, gosh!
Oh!
Oh, my God!
I've never seen, like, a bad example of love.
[crashing]
- Alright. - Whoa.
Thank you so much.. Holy..
Ow!
Oh.
I swear, it wasn't me.
It's crazy that we can't get that to stand still.
[glass shattering]
I made that in the second grade for my mom.
(Chris S.) I could not wait to see Sheena in her dress.
[chuckles]
You look beautiful.
- Thank you.. - Oh.
Whoa! Whoa!
Oh, Des..
Oh!
Whoa!
[engine revs]
[screams]
[gasps]
Oh!
- Ha-ha! - Got it.

Do we need me to start dancing?
[laughing]
(Michelle) I think there's gonna be a little bit of, like..
...this going on.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Maybe, like, a little bit of this going on.
- One, two.. - Aah!
Maybe a little bit of this going on.
Butt.
(male #11) 'Don't put it in my face, girl.'
[laughs]
[howling]
(together) Huh-huh-huh-huh! Huh!
Okay, these are, like, a slim-fit jean, right?
Are those good for twerking or..
Yeah. I mean, you can't see my hogleg, can you?
- Yee-haw! - Yee-haw!
- Hello, darlin'. - Hello, darlin'.
- My horse.. - My horse..
- '...needs a drink o' water.' - Ah, it needs a drink of water.
[laughs]
[screaming]
Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa! Whoa! - Whoa, whoa!
My guy does not wanna cooperate.
- Yeah! - 'My ass hurts.'
[horse neighs]
I mean, I can tell you're a real ladies' man.
Nothing?
[spits]
Ow! God!
Oh, my god. I think I have a bug on my back. I feel something.
[screaming]
Go!
[beep]
That thing went straight in my eye!
[screaming]
You're really, like, advancing on the date already.
What is that?
That is a freaking live beetle.
Plea-please get it away! Get it away!
Get it away! Get it away!
[screaming]
It's on me! Oh, my God!
- Aah! - 'We're running from donkeys.'
- There's a raccoon. - Aah!
Oh, my gosh!
Is this your snake?
If I say, "Lay in a casket"
you're fine with that?
If I said there's gonna be one
pigeon here
you would run for the hills.
[beep]
[laughs]
[frog croaking]
[screams]
It's a [beep] snail, dude.
This is a snail making that noise.
Right here. Oh, my God!
Dude, I'm learning so much right now.
What do you call these?
Salegmins and sal..
I'd rather date, like, this super fart..
Fart..
Wait a minute. Did I say that?
I meant to say smart
and then I was gonna say funny, afterwards
but I, like..
See, the hard thing is, I don't even know what I'm gonna say.
Stelights?
Stalac--
Stalactites.
Stalagmites.
So as we walk down in this cave
I see stalaglights coming down.
(female #11) Germany is beautiful.
We can see Austria from the top of Zpood-spitser.
Zoog-minster? How do they say it?
Jaglier? I don't even know how to say it.
The jeller? The..
- 'Yodeler.' - Yodeler.
I mean, I feel confent
going into this rose ceremony.
I feel confent.
Confident.
Guys tend to idealicize rel..
You know.. Idealicize?
Idolize. No.
Hi, Emily. Um..
Okay, let me start over.
Hey, Emily. Meh.
Emily. Meh.
Everything is going meh.
I looked into those big.. Meh.
I knew that blah.
When I did say, ugh.
Our first..
Since the moment, ma-meh. Take 12.
I'm generally a one-take type of guy, too.
We should be doing this quick.
Well, coming up, find out what some of your favorite couples
have been up to and meet the newest addition
to "The Bachelor" family.
That's right. We've got "Bachelor" babies.
And what does America's current heartthrob, Ben
have to say about his journey to find love?
We'll talk to him when this special edition
of "The Bachelor" continues.
[instrumental music]
Wow! Look at you!
- Oh. - You look gorgeous.
(female #12) I think you're gonna be happy.
I think so, too. I really do.
You picked a good woman. I love you.
[instrumental music]
Welcome back to "The Bachelor At 20, A Celebration Of Love."
I have a very special guest here with me right now.
He is number 20, Bachelor Ben Higgins.
- Chris. - What's up, brother?
- How you doing, man? - I'm doing great.
People are taking their seats here
'for the, uh, the wedding'
'which you're about to be a part of, as well.'
Um, that's got to put a little perspective on all this
and what you're going through as the bachelor.
This is what it's all about. This is the ultimate goal.
- Right? This worked. - Yeah.
And it's really nice to be in this environment
and see so many success stories, uh, from the show.
- Speaking of finding love.. - Yeah.
Uh, we know that you have not only found love
but with two people
um, which, look, in this scenario, can happen.
Yeah, it-it wasn't something I expected.
Well, you know, when we talked at the beginning of the season
I was gonna do this to-to the best of my ability
and it led me to fall in love with two women.
We all can't wait to see how all of this turns out.
Uh, my hope is that it turns out right here
and that we're doing this for you very soon.
- Good to see you, my friend. - Chris, it's great to see you.
Number 20. I appreciate you being here.
You know, over the years we have watched countless couples
on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" fall in love.
Some have even gone on to get married and have children.
With our "Bachelor" family always growing
questions always pop up.
Who is hearing wedding bells?
Are even more "Bachelor" babies on the horizon?
Let's find out.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Rosenbaum.
[crowd cheering]
(JP) We are Ashley and JP
from season seven of "Bachelorette."
(Ashley) And the last time you saw me
we were doing an ultrasound on TV.
It is a boy.
[all cheering]
And now Ford is one year old.
Fordy, everybody. Everybody, Fordy.
[whispers] No, you can't touch that. Oh, no.
You're gonna, you're gonna break..
[laughs]
Alright, Fordy. We're gonna learn to spell your name, okay?
(JP) We moved down to Miami about a year and a half ago
and we had Ford a little bit after that.
Fordy!
[gibberish]
Whoa!
Man, life flies by.
[imitating motor]
(Ashley) JP is the most amazing dad.
- No, you-- - Say that one more time, baby.
- Just, it's music to my ears. - I-I, you know what?
I don't give him as much credit as I should
but like, he helps me fifty-fifty.
Oh! That was really close.
I'll get that one.
(JP) The next step is
we're gonna expand the family.
(Ashley) There's talk and there's action of more babies.
Yeah. We're talkin'. We're rockin'!
[laughs]
- Yeah, good job. - Pretty good.
Now, get him in the head.
Oh!
I've never been as happy as I am now
and it keeps getting better and better.
I know it-it comes out like it's a fairy tale
but you know what? It-it kind of is.
- It's not over yet. - No, it's not over.
- Got a long way to go. - Long way to go, babe.
[instrumental music]
I'm Kaitlyn Bristowe, and I was the bachelorette this season.
(Shawn) I'm Shawn Booth, I proposed to Kaitlyn Bristowe
and, thankfully, she said yes, and now we're happily engaged.
I fall more and more in love with you every time I see you.
(Kaitlyn) Sometimes when we, like
can't fall asleep, we'll re-watch our proposal.
I still get the same feelings watching it
as I did when he proposed.
Who'd have thought two crazy kids
would fall in love on "The Bachelorette?"
One day I'm gonna put a baby
in this thing right there.
She wants four kids, and I want five
but we both agree that we'll talk after one.
- Which is fair. - Yeah.
- 'Look who's here!' - 'Hi, girls!'
- It's daddy! - Give me a kiss.
- Hi. Hi, mommy. - Hi.
(Jason) My name is Jason Mesnick.
And I am Molly Mesnick, Jason's wife.
I really think I'm falling in love with you.
(Molly) It seems like it's been ages
since we've been on "The Bachelor," like..
(Jason) It has been ages since we've been..
It wasn't even in HD back then.
It really, if you look back to that season
it was still, like, little bits
like old Nintendo, basically.
We're dancing.
(Molly) Riley has been
the greatestaddition
to all of our lives.
- 'Aah!' - Wow!
I love Jason, but like, I really love Riley.
Put out your hands. Here you go. Bop!
(Jason) I grew up with two brothers
so having a little girl is a whole new thing.
I know when Riley was born
my mom laughed, going, "Oh, you wait."
(Jason) 'Hey, when we're all done, do I get to paint your nails?'
'Cause you did such a good job with mine. Look at that!
I'll rock Riley's nail polish. That's cool.
Give me a kiss.
Thank you.
[instrumental music]
(Ryan) 'I haven't looked at this in a long time.'
- 'I know.' - My name is Ryan Sutter.
(Trista) And my name is Trista.
I was the very first bachelorette.
We're young.
(Ryan) Here we are 12 years after
being married and my key
to success is just to have a balance.
You have to carve out time for each other
and you have to make your relationship a priority.
- 'How are you?' - Really good.
It's nice to finally meet you.
(Trista) In simple moments
there are some times
when I'll recognize
that we started on television,
You know, how crazy is that?
But we're both really grateful
for the way that it all happened.
Pile on, dad!
I've always thanked "The Bachelorette"
for introducing us.
Thirteen years later
we're actually happier
than ever before.
(Desiree) I am Desiree.
I was the bachelorette.
And I am Chris.
And I was on "The Bachelorette" season 9
with her other 24 boyfriends.
- 'Hey there!' - We're home.
That was three years ago.
(Chris Siegfried) We got married about 11 months ago.
We recently bought a house and now we're settling down
and it's exciting. I actually like that.
- It's really exciting. - Yeah, it's been a lot of fun.
- Great, well, here you go. - Oh, thanks.
- Get to work? Get to work. - Yeah, get to work.
I mean everyday I'm like, "Pinch me," like
(Desiree) I, never in a million years did I ever think
thatt-this would be my life.
It's been wonderful these past three years
and it really does work.
- Oh, look what I found. - Oh, yeah.
(Catherine) I am Catherine.
I am Sean and we met
on season 17 of "The Bachelor."
(Chris) Sean and Catherine's journey
to find love with each other
has been an epic fairy tale.
You may kiss your bride!
Man, it, it was just one of the best days of my life.
(Catherine) Before we got married, it was spending
a lot of time together
but having to say goodnight
um, and him driving me home.
Now it was, we get to give each other a goodnight kiss
and wake up together for the rest of our lives.
It was amazing!
Well, we have consummated the marriage
uh, many times over.
(Sean) We've gotten the question every single day
since being married, "When are yougonna have kids?"
So Catherine and I could not be more excited
to tell you all that we are having a baby.
I can't wait to be a dad.
I hope I can be half the dad my dad was to me.
And Catherine is gonna be an amazing mom.
(Catherine) I cannot wait to see Sean as a dad.
I think that next chapter of our life's gonna be
even better than the ones that we've shared together.
(Sean) I honestly owemy life to "The Bachelor."
I wouldn't be married to my wife
I wouldn't be having this child right now
if it weren't for "The Bachelor"
and, and I'll be forever grateful for that.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chattering]
How come we didn't get a couch?
[laughing]
'Cause you'd be making out by now.
Oh, yes, sure.
Welcome back. The guests are taking their seats.
Tanner is getting into place
and Jade, she's preparing
to walk down the aisle.
But first, I have with me here
some "Bachelor" royalty.
And if you don't believe me, just ask her.
- Erica Rose, good to see you. - Good to see you.
Do we have some news to share?
Yeah, I am engaged.
- You're engaged? - And also expecting.
- And you're pregnant? - Yeah, can you tell?
There are so many "Bachelor" babies coming.
I know, I think it's something in the universe
like, in the astrology right now.
And do, when, do we know when the wedding is?
Yeah, it's May 1st. It's a shotgun wedding.
[laughs] It is, though.
Way to be subtle.
I've always wanted that, though, so I'm, like, excited.
- That was the dream? - It was.
And it's cute cause we only dated
like, 8 weeks, just like in "The Bachelor" world.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
It's funny, my mom's like, "Since you were
"on "The Bachelor," you expect relationships
to happens so fast and it did."
You are easily one of my favorite people
to have ever been on this show.
Of course you were also on "Bachelor Pad."
What do you remember about that?
Uh, I just remember, Jake and Vienna
fighting, like, all the time.
So much drama on "Bachelor Pad."
You probably don't eat eggs anymore, ever.
- No, that was bad. - Well, congratulations.
- I appreciate you being here. - Thank you.
And let's take a look back
at the wild ride we called "Bachelor Pad."
[instrumental music]
(Chris) 'Welcome to "Bachelor Pad."'
[all cheering]
Each of you with a chance to find love..
Yes, you got it!
...each of you with a chance
to win $250,000.
(male #12) As soon as the first challenge happens
this game is gonna explode.
[burping]
Oh, God!
[indistinct chattering]
(William) Erica as a canvas out there.
It's like Picasso went to town on her back.
One, two, four. One, two, three, four. One..
It's such a mess.
No, God!
[sobbing]
I'm done. I can't take it anymore.
Come here, come here.
I'm sorry that he upsets you.
You swore to me that you would protect me
and all you been doing is getting mad at me
about everything.
You encouraged me, but I [beep]!
[beep] hear you, dude, you don't have to [beep]
scream at me. I'm a grown-ass man.
(Chris B.) Everyone knows that there's potential
to find love on the "Bachelor Pad"
but at the end of the day, it's about
playing the game and winning the money.
Sorry, girl.
He is a manipulator.
And the little puppet master
'lost at his own game.'
He's a horrible friend
he's a backstabber
and I am serving justice and this is karma.
(Chris) Who will walk outta here
with a quarter of a million dollars?
(Chris) 'If you both pick share'
then you're gonna split the prize money evenly.
- So I'm gonna share with ya. - Yes!
She will always be my teammate.
Whoo!
And so I decided to keep it.
[gasping]
This is a dirty [beep] game.
Coming up, a look at Jade and Tanner's path to love.
Then it's time for the most romantic wedding of the year
to begin, and with love in the year
let's see if any new "Bachelor" couples form
at the wedding reception. Who knows what could happen?
It's all coming up next
on the "Bachelor At 20, A Celebration Of Love."
[instrumental music]
'Welcome back, the big moment is almost here'
but before the wedding
I've a couple of friends I want to bring up.
Two men that helped paved the way
for all bachelors that came after
Bob Guiney, Andrew Firestone.
- Hi, buddy. - What is going on?
Yes, thank you for having us. The dinosaur edition right here.
The geriatric edition of "The Bachelor" begins right now.
Very much so. Welcome back.
We have your walkers in your rascals.
Thank you, rascal, thank you.
Um, you know, first, I'll, I'll start with you.
You, you were on Trista's season of "The Bachelorette."
That's where America
and "Bachelor Nation" fell in love with you
and then you became the bachelor.
(Chris) What do you remember?
- How are you, sir? - I am doing well.
- You feeling alright? - I'm feeling real good, yeah.
- A little nervous. - Good. Well, that's natural.
I mean, I was terrified, you know?
Honestly, my biggest fear was that it wouldn't..
I would ruin it, so it wouldn't last.
- That was my fear, as well. - Yeah, season four.
And it's been a really good run, guys. Thanks so much.
- And scene. - And scene, and we were out.
(Chris) 'How about you, any, any memorable'
'moments, standout moments?'
You know, I, I get asked this a lot
and you know, my, the takeaway
that I have from "The Bachelor."
And you know, now I have
beau, three beautiful kids
a loving wife and I-I, I think
in some small part of that is in thanks to "The Bachelor."
(Chris) As we start this right now
do you know which ten women
will be getting these roses tonight?
No, I feel like I know them well
and this isn't a decision I'm going into lightly.
You know, I-I just sort of trying to take it all in
right now. It's, it's, it's a lot.
All these moments in front of the camera
in front of, you know, with you talking about what
you know, what I wanted out of life
what I wanted out of a partner
out of, you know, family
all that stuff came into fruition.
As a 27-year-old guy, I would never
have that conversation with myself.
So I'm, I'm, I'm grateful for "The Bachelor"
for making me grow up.
(Chris) 'Two of the best right here.'
- I love you guys. - If you had to pick one though.
Well, it'd be, obviously, I'm closer to him.
So it would be me, yeah. I'm standing in the middle.
Now, this, this has been fun. Thank you for including us.
Love you guys. Get off my stage.
Thanks, buddy.
Now, as the officiant
I need to go get in position
but before the ceremony commences
let's take a look at the special moments
that went into planning this dream wedding.
I'm Tanner from Kaitlyn's season of "The Bachelorette."
And I am Jade and I was on
Chris Soules' season of "The Bachelor."
And we found love on "Bachelor In Paradise 2."
Do you know where we're exploring?
Yes, I know.
(Jade) On our first date, Tanner just made me feel
completely comfortable that I could be honest and open.
and be myself.
It made us close right away.
(Tanner) When I met Jade, I started caring
more about her feelings than my own.
Cheers.
I knew I didn't want it
to end after "Paradise."
I love you, Jade.
I love you too, Tanner.
(Jade) Things do move fast in "Paradise"
but for both of us
it just felt so right.
Oh, my God.
Will you make me the happiest man on Earth and marry me?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God.
(Tanner) I was a little worried that outside of that perfect world
that it mighty not go as smoothly, but..
Ooh.
...much to my surprise
it actually went better.
Oh, my God.
You're tellin' me.
[instrumental music]
(Jade) Wedding planning is going really good.
It's just been like full speed ahead.
We're havin' a ton of fun.
This is a whole new adventure
and I couldn't be happier.
I mean, it is so sparkly.
(Tanner) Seeing her face light up trying on
that wedding band was awesome.
I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her
and love her every single day.
[instrumental music]
I am so excited to see the dresses.
(Jade) Tanner and I got a ton of the planning done
but there is just one thing that he can't help with.
So both of our moms and his sister
and my maid of honor are helping me find my dress.
- 'Oh, my God!' - Holy cow, that's beautiful.
It's just breathtaking.
- I love that. - Wow, you look stunning.
Oh, wow.
You look like a vintage movie star.
- 'Gorgeous.' - 'Beautiful.'
[laughing]
This dress makes me feel
like a beautiful bride.
(female #13) 'You're absolutely'
drop-dead gorgeous in that dress.
- And I love it. - 'Yeah.'
I think this is the one, you guys.
Having my family there
and, like, seeing them
feel attached just like..
...is exactly what you want.
You know, and it's just so special.
[instrumental music]
Today is the day thatI get to marry
the man of my dreams.
Everything that's happened in my life
has led me to this moment.
And what I feel for Tanner
is something deeper than I've ever felt.
And it is, it's just feels like this completion
that, um, that everything does just come together
and everything is right.
[all cheering]
While a wedding is so special
the most important part is that I am marrying my best friend.
Happy wedding day!
I'm literally just, like
counting down the minutes.
I can't wait to see Tanner.
[instrumental music]
(Tanner) This is the biggest day of my entire life
and something I've been looking forward to
for a long time.
I can't wait to be married to Jade
because I want to be her support system.
I want to be the reason that she has a great life.
Knowing that I get to spend the rest of my life with Jade
makes me feel like the luckiest man in the world.
Oh, my God!
- 'Stunning. Wow.' - So pretty.
(Jade) Watching the last-minute things in the ceremony space
getting put together and it's just so beautiful.
It really is perfect.
All my friends, all my family
all my bridesmaids are by my side
and I get to marry Tanner.
I'm getting married today!
[all cheering]
- Hey! - There he is!
(Tanner) What's up, boys?
- What's up, buddy? - How are ya?
(Jade) What's so special about today is just
dedicating ourselves to each other
and sharing that love with our family and our friends.
I'm really happy for you guys.
I'll, I'll take care of your little girl.
- Don't worry. - 'Okay.'
And just remember, the woman's always right.
- Th-that's the advice I give-- - That's actually in my vow.
[all laughing]
[upbeat music]
- Hi, Paul. - Hi, Jade, how are you?
- Are you so excited? - I'm so excited.
Paul from Sally Hershberger is doing my hair for the wedding
and I know he's just gonna make me look so beautiful.
You excited to see Tanner?
Yeah, uh, I haven't seen him
in, like, his full tux and everything.
So I'm excited to see how handsome he looks.
Yeah.
- 'You look so beautiful, Jade.' - Thank you.
You look beautiful.
Thank you, mom.
"The Bachelor" has completely changed my life.
If I look back, like, a year and a half ago
and where I was and where I am now
I mean, I wouldn't have found the love of my life without it.
- Do you feel ready? - Yeah.

(Chris) Thank you. Please be seated.
'Well, first of all, good evening, everybody.'
Welcome.
Of course, we are gathered here this beautiful evening
to celebrate the love and share the union
'of Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert.'
It is truly a gift for two people
to find one another and to love so deeply
that they embrace the bond of marriage.
All of us here today have our own love stories.
'Some are short, others long'
'some are yet unwritten'
'while others are just getting to the good part.'
Jade and Tanner
'we all watched your love story unfold.'
'Each of you came to "Paradise" hoping to find love.'
'And from the first moment'
'you met on that beach there was a spark.'
'We all saw it.'
'Your love continued to grow and deepen over the weeks'
'that you spent'
sweating profusely together in Mexico.
'By sharing your love story with us'
'you give us all a glimpse of the magic'
'that is love.'
'But before we continue'
'it is customary to ask'
is there anyone here today who objects
to the marriage of this man and this woman?
If so, speak now
or forever hold your peace.
- You guys ready? - Yes.
Let's do this.
(Chris) 'Tanner, do you take Jade'
'to be your lawfully wedded wife'
'to have and to hold from this day forward'
'for better, for worse'
'for richer, for poorer'
in sickness and in health
until death do your part?
Of course, I do.
[chuckles]
(Chris) 'Jade, do you take Tanner'
'to be your lawfully wedded husband'
'to have and to hold from this day forward'
for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer
in sickness and in health
until death do you part?
I do.
(Chris) 'Much like love'
'music transcends language and time.'
'Jade and Tanner's close friend, Carly'
will now perform an original song she wrote
just for the couple.

- We love you. - Thanks, Carly.
[audience applauding]
(Chris) 'Let us proceed.'
'Marriage at its core is the promises'
'made and kept by two individuals.'
'You've written your own vows'
and I invite you now to speak them
to each other.
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 soon.
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 other than you.
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..
[laughing]
...and I am always wrong.
Jade, you're 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.
[chuckles]
There came a point
in my life where
I never thought I was going to get married.
I had seen marriages..
...in my family give their best and fail
and I became afraid to fully
open myself up to somebody.
And that is until I met you.
Until I experienced the love that you provide.
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 my life
for loving you we'll never grow old.
On this special day
I choose in faith
to join my life with yours
to become one family.
Pippa, the cats and all.
[laughter]
I love you.
- Oh, my gosh. - You're shakin'.
I know.
(Chris) 'The rings that you're about to exchange'
'serve as the symbol of your union.'
Take that, sir.
If you can with those shaky hands
please place the ring on Tanner's finger
'and repeat after me.'
'You're more special to me today than yesterday'
"You are more special to me today than yesterday.."
"You'll be more cherished tomorrow.."
"Please wear this ring.."
"And see it as a symbol of my love for you."
"A love that transcends all of our yesterdays.."
"All of our todays.."
(both) "And all over tomorrows."
[instrumental music]
(Chris) 'By the power vested in me'
'by the state of California'
I now pronounce you
husband and wife.
Tanner, I think you know what to do.
[chuckles]
[music continues]
[audience cheering]
[chuckles]
(Chris) 'Ladies and gentlemen'
'it is my honor to present to you'
Mr. and Mrs. Tolbert.

you can't deny the fact that everybody just loves love.

(Andi) Seeing a wedding like Jade and Tanner
tells you and gives you proof that, like
this can work, this can happen.
If I could, uh, have our bachelor alum come join us
'on the dance floor.'
There's a lot of great amazing couples that have come out
of this franchise, and, it's-it's pretty cool to see.
- You're so stiff. - Help me.
- Yeah. Like that. - Like that?
- You, you're holding my thumb. - Oh!
It's crazy, like, you could like, like a guy a little bit
and you'd still want, like, the wedding night
between your friends to be a good night for you, too.
I don't think it's weird for me to say that I hope, like
tonight's a good night for me and Jared.
I mean, yeah, I hope, it's like
on the more romantic side.
[instrumental music]
You have paradise body language.
I have paradise body language.
I can't believe six months later I'm still saying this
however Jared is still as hot to me as he was in paradise.
And it drives me crazy.
I mean, I would go to third base with Jared tonight, that's fine.
[upbeat music]
(Ali) Every time there is another bachelor wedding
it's just romantic and heart warming and fun and exciting.
I'm just happy to be here and celebrate love
and Jade and Tanner.
There is a lot of single people here tonight
soyou never know.
That's the thing about the bachelor world.
You never know what could happen.
[laughing]
Somethin' on your mind?
Ashley I is one of the sweetest people I have ever met.
And she cares a lot about me and I care a lot about her.
Why are we here?
You never know what's gonna happen in the future
but right now we're really good friends and..
...that's amazin' to me.
I..
Well, let's talk about Tanner and Jade.
I mean, that's why we're here, right?
(Ashley) 'Okay fine, go ahead. Talk about Tanner and Jade.'
Well, aren't you happy for the happy couple?
Oh, yes, they are so perfect.
Um...yeah. I mean, that's.. Yeah.
Ashley and I are really good friends.
The greatest thing about this entire show has been
the friendship's that I have made.
Both "Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise," so..
It's the best part of the show.
(Ashley) Yeah, everything's good.
[sniffles] We're really good friends.
[sniffles] I just guess, like..
[sniffles] I just wanna be with him.

it has completely changed my life.

fall in love with my best friend.
So in front of all of our friends and all of our family
I love you forever.
I promise to wake up every morning
and fall in love with you all over again.
Every day we are together

[sniffles]
(male narrator) Coming up tomorrow night, it's an all new episode of
"The Bachelor."
(Ben) Welcome to Warsaw, Indiana
the place that I grew up.
Okay, so this is my high school.
'This is where I played football.'
(Emily) This place is such a huge part of who he is
and to see it first-hand
I get why Ben is who he is.
(Ben) The crowd goes wild.
(JoJo) This is the week before hometowns
and I feel myself falling in love.
This is the perfect time to move my relationship forward.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he took her home.
For Ben to introduce anyone to his family
that's a huge deal.
How can you give someone that much provocation?
(woman) We all care so much now and it's intense.
- I didn't expect this. - Oh!
It's, it's like, why am I here?
The easiest thing to do would be to run
and to just remove myself.
That alone made be just like sick to my stomach.
(Ben) I am just overwhelmed with emotion.
(Caila) Something feels off.
Maybe I'm not what he's looking for.
And that's...scaring me.
[sobbing]
[voice breaking] I don't know what to do.
I thought it was gonna be clear and it's just..
I don't know what am I gonna do, man.
(male narrator) It all continues tomorrow night on "The Bachelor."
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my goodness!
'Look at them.'
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Jade and Tanner. Hey!
We're doing dance lessons today.
- You guys ready to dance? - I guess.
- Yeah. - Let's get started.
Coming into the lesson I thought Tanner was gonna have
a hard time, but I'm finding
myself kind of, like, not getting
the basic moves down with my feet.
Back, side, together. Forward on your left.
'Right, left, good.'
'Back, side, together.'
- 'Forward, side..' - 'Nice.
Do you, either of you have any, like, sign..
...signature dance moves?
I mean, just the twerk, obviously.
'Um, I'm gonna have to see that.'
[laughing]
(Jade) Tanner's got twerking moves.
It was good, I liked it!
(woman) 'I think he's gonna break the wall.'
[laughing]
- Whoo! Go baby! - Nice!
