They did it! Bachelor in Paradise alums Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti are married!
The 31-year-old starlet had long pursued 30-year-old Haibon across several seasons of the popular reality show, eventually getting her man on TV — and now, after a weekend wedding in Newport, Rhode Island, she’s got her man in real life, too! So great!

During the ceremony, which went down in front of 180 guests and was officiated by Bachelor producer Elan Gale, the couple exchanged both traditional and personalized wedding vows. In the setting of an intimate church in Newport, things reportedly got very emotional very quickly, with both Ashley and Jared breaking down at different times as they pledged their love for each other.
The entire evening was memorable, with a source telling E! News about the nuptials (below):
“It was a beautiful, stunning, gorgeous celebration filled with so much love.”
Awww!
Plenty of Bachelor and Bachelorette alums were in attendance, too, including Nick Viall, Dean Unglert, Becca Tilly, Amanda Stanton, and couples Jason Tartick and Kaitlyn Bristowe, and Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone. Keepin’ it all in the family!!
Ashley spoke to People about the special evening, too, making light of her history of crying and joking around about how it would be Jared’s turn to break down when he finally saw his bride in her wedding gown (below):
“I hope that Jared cries. There’s so much pressure on Jared to cry because this entire time I’ve been the crier right? Everybody’s seen me cry. I want him to cry this time. I just hope that Jared thinks that I truly look the prettiest I’ve ever looked on this day. And I hope it takes his breath away.”
Awww! So funny… and so cute!
Iaconetti stunned in her two (yes, two!) wedding gowns split over the ceremony and celebration, opting to go with a lace Ines Di Santo gown from Lovella Bridal in the El Lay area for the actual nuptials, as well as half of the reception. It proved to be a VERY memorable choice!
She told People about her dress choice for the ceremony, revealing (below):
“I never thought I would be a two-dress kind of girl, but I found my reception dress first and couldn’t say no. This dress needs to be shown off as much as possible! It is unreal. It is everything I ever wanted. It’s the kind of dress that you wear and you are so thankful you chose that one, because you’re going to look back on it fifty years later and be happy you went with that style. I will never regret it and I think I’ll always think it’s the prettiest dress that I’ve ever seen. It’s timeless, classic elegance.”
Awwww!
As you can see in their official wedding photo via People (below), she did look AMAZING:
