'Bachelor in Paradise' season 9 teases a wedding — but who's getting married?
- The "Bachelor in Paradise" trailer seems to suggest a wedding happens on the beach in season 9.
- In August, Reality Steve reported on which couple ties the knot this season.
The "Bachelor" franchise famously loves a wedding, so it's no surprise that the trailer for the new season of "Bachelor in Paradise" suggests that a couple ties the knot on the beach this year.
The "Bachelor in Paradise" contestants only have a few weeks get to know one another. According to "Bachelor" spoiler expert Reality Steve, season 9 only filmed for about 17 days. So, it'd be surprising — though not completely out of the realm of possibility — if a couple from the new season feels confident enough in their new relationship to not only get engaged but marry so soon.
Here's what we could uncover about the on-air wedding coming up this season on "Bachelor in Paradise."
Potential spoilers ahead.
Who got married on the 'Bachelor in Paradise' beach in season 9?
Reality Steve revealed on his August 23 podcast episode that it's Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch who tie the knot in Mexico this season.
Mari and Kenny met and got engaged on season 7 of "Paradise," and Reality Steve suggested that their wedding on this season of the spin-off was potentially a favor to production. The couple had previously spoken to ET about their plans to have two weddings — one in Puerto Rico, where Mari is originally from, and one in Chicago, which is where Kenny is based.
Mari and Kenny also weighed in on the drama that plagued season 8 of "Bachelor in Paradise," with Mari telling ET: "I'm glad that we are where we are on the other side of it and getting to watch them. At the same time, I kind of feel like we're mentors almost and we get to help them out a little bit, give them advice, which is cool."
In addition to interviews, the two frequently discuss their plans for their weddings on Instagram, chatting with followers about locations, registry tips, and more.
And they're not the only couple from the "Bachelor" franchise to celebrate a major relationship milestone on the spinoff. Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon got engaged while visiting the contestants on season 5 of "Bachelor in Paradise," and other "Bachelor" couples, like Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, have tied the knot during televised ceremonies.
