Last season on Bachelor In Paradise, Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul found love and became engaged. Today they are still together and surprise the 2015 cast members, by having their wedding featured on the premiere episode of season 2. The wedding was "small and quaint" with several family members and friends making the trip to Mexico to see Faddoul get walked down the aisle by her father.
A stylist for The Bachelor, Cary Fetman, helped Faddoul get her wedding dress, and she wore her mother's bracelet and a blue knot necklace that said "You're the only one I want to tie the knot with" from Grodd. It was a five-course meal with a wedding cake, of course, and the new BIP cast members were surprised by the nuptials. Currently, Grodd has joined the Coast Guard and he is busy with training. The happy couple live in California, where Lacy works as an elderly care facility owner.
All brides are beautiful, but Lacy definitely earned her spot in the world of Bachelor televised wedding gowns. Last season, viewers saw Marcus (Andi's season) and Lacy (Juan Pablo's season) fall in love almost immediately after they met on the show last year. To date, there have been only five successful marriages in the Bachelor franchise - Sunday night's televised wedding makes happy couple number six, with a slim chance that Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shwan Booth will increase that number to seven.
Chris Harrison tells Reality TV World that he is "confident" with the way the show works - as far as love connections go - because contestants have "percentage-wise, a better opportunity" on BIP than they do on the Bachelor or Bachelorette. One of the couples who finds love on BIP may surprise fans. Justin Reich who was eliminated early on in Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of the Bachelorette, supposedly falls in love with Cassandra Ferguson (Juan Pablo's season). They don't get engaged on the show, but left the show with plans to continue dating. Both Cassandra and Justin are single parents, so perhaps that brought them closer together on the show. She hails from Michigan and he lives outside of Chicago.
