Ben Higgins is no longer a bachelor!
According to People , the 32-year-old Bachelor alum married his longtime girlfriend Jessica Clarke on Saturday in a romantic ceremony at The Estate at Cherokee Dock near Nashville, Tennessee. Higgins expressed to the outlet:
“I am so excited. We have so much to look forward to. And I know we will have a beautiful marriage. ”
The couple exchanged vows in front of their loved ones and friends, which included many stars from the franchise such as Nick Viall , Becca Kufrin , Thomas Jacobs , Jared Haibon , Ashley Iaconetti , and Wells Adams , who apparently served as a groomsman. People also reported that Ben and Jessica spoke personalized vows, featuring quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh that were hand-selected by the pair.
Before walking down the aisle, Clarke gushed about her hubby-to-be to the publication, saying:
“Ben doesn’t just make me want to be a better person, but he actually makes me a better person. He assures me in all of my dreams and all of my goals. I never thought I’d possess a partner that accepted every part of me. ”
Like many couples, Ben and Jessica postponed their wedding because of the pandemic. The reality star popped the question to the gym owner the year and a half ago in the backyard of her parent’ s home in Tn.
Fans first met Higgins in 2015 while on Kaitlyn Bristowe ’s season of The Bachelorette , where he made it to the final three. He then went upon to lead season 20 associated with The Bachelor in 2016 and got engaged to Lauren Bushnell . However, they later broke up in 2017.
