There’s a wedding happening during the BIP season finale this week, and host Jesse Palmer hints it’s a “full circle moment.” What does that mean? Keep reading for all the details.

BIP Has The Highest Success Rate

Of all the dating shows in Bachelor Nation, it’s surprising that more couples find lasting love on a beach in Mexico than they do at the Bachelor mansion.

Season 7 of BIP resulted in several marriages and engagements. Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt got married for the second time in September 2023. Their first marriage was a simple courthouse wedding a year prior in New York City.

Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs got married shortly after she welcomed their first child.

Season 7 contestants Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb broke up on the beach but reconnected after filming. They’re now happily engaged and planning their wedding.

That’s not to say none of the other franchises result in a happily ever after. Trista and Ryan Sutter are still going strong after nearly 20 years.

In fact, their wedding was in December 2003. In a Bachelor Nation first, the wedding was televised on ABC.

But it won’t be the last. Golden Bachelor couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s wedding next month will be broadcast live.

Bachelor Nation fans were initially skeptical about rumors of a beachside wedding on Season 9. However, host Jesse Palmer has assured fans that the wedding does happen.

He stopped short of revealing the bride and groom but dropped a huge hint.

“Of course, I can’t say who it is, but it’s really a full circle moment, which I think is going to be really, really great,” he told The Wrap.

In fact, the teaser for the season finale shows a pair of hands exchanging wedding rings.

Who Could Be Getting Married?

The last episode of Bachelor In Paradise saw multiple exits. Blake and Tyler weren’t feeling their relationships with Jess or Mercedes, respectively, and chose to leave the beach solo.

After Jordan accepted a rose from Mercedes, Bachelorette alum Rachel also chose to self-eliminate. That leaves any of these couples (via Decider) as possible candidates for the BIP wedding:

  • Eliza and Aaron B.
  • Kat and John Henry
  • Kylee and Aven
  • Olivia and Michael
  • Sam P. and Peter
  • Jess and Tanner
  • Mercedes and Jordan

If you read online spoilers, you probably already know the fate of each of these couples.

If you’re staying spoiler-free, let us know in the comments who you think is getting married on the season finale.

Tune in to ABC on Thursday, December 7, at 8 PM Eastern to see how the season ends.
