Flajnik, 40, revealed on Instagram that he tied the knot with his “best friend” in an intimate ceremony last month, sharing a photo of the couple in full wedding garb.
In thepicture he posted on his Instagram, he and his bride could be seen beaming with wide smiles at the camera with an arm around each other. Flajnik wore what appeared to be a dark blue suit with a gray tie and white rose boutonniere, matching his new wife, whose name he kept private.
The bride looked beautiful in an off-the-shoulder white wedding gown that hugged her curves before draping out in a small train at the bottom. She wore a long veil that also reached the ground with flower motifs sewn into the fabric. She accessorized her wedding look with a pair of string pearl necklaces and carried a white rose bouquet.
“I’m so grateful to do life with you and thank you for your unwavering love and support,” he concluded the post addressing his new bride.
Flajnik first appeared onAshley Hebert’s season ofThe Bachelorette, failing to win her heart before he was asked to return inThe Bachelor. At the end of the season, he got engaged toCourtney Robinson.
The pair called it quitsless than a year later — though they revealed onThe Bachelor‘s “After the Final Rose” episode that theybriefly rekindled their romanceafter a broken engagement.
“We’re engaged. We’re in a good place,” Flajnik said at the time. “Now that the main part of the show, and all the negativity is gone, it can only get better … The root of the problem was us not being able to be with each other and talk about these things.”
