Who Gets Engaged In Bachelor In Paradise 2021
Alright, beach bums and rose lovers! Let's dish the dirt on who actually put a ring on it (or several rings, thanks to Neil Lane) down in Paradise back in 2021.
The "Yes!" Crew
First up, we have the golden couple, the pair that practically defined "relationship goals" for anyone watching: Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch. They were like, glued at the hip from almost day one, even after that whole pie-gate drama. Remember when she left his birthday bash to go on a date with another guy?
Kenny, bless his patient heart, wasn't giving up. He saw something special in Mari, and she eventually came to her senses. He gave her a wholehearted proposal. It was beautiful, it was real, and it was definitely a "we're not crying, you're crying" moment.
Must Read
Next, we have Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian. These two brought the heat to the beach, and their connection was undeniable. Seriously, you could practically see the sparks flying every time they were on screen together.
They had their moments of vulnerability, especially when opening up about their pasts. However, their love ultimately shone through stronger than ever. Riley dropped to one knee, Maurissa said yes, and everyone rejoiced (until... well, more on that later).
The "Almost" Engaged
Now, let's talk about the "almost" crew. These were the couples who made it to the final days, but ultimately decided paradise wasn't quite engagement-worthy for them.
Becca Kufrin (yes, the former Bachelorette!) found love (again!) with Thomas Jacobs. It looked like it was smooth sailing, and everyone was anticipating another Neil Lane appearance. But then... plot twist!
They decided against getting engaged, choosing instead to continue their relationship in the real world. Surprise! However, this story has a happy ending; they actually ended up getting engaged later!
Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb were another couple that chose to leave together, but not engaged. Their journey had its ups and downs, mainly due to miscommunication. But ultimately they saw a future, just not one rushing down the aisle right that second. Well, just like Becca and Thomas, they also got engaged in the real world!
Post-Paradise Update
Here's the not-so-fun part: not all Paradise romances are built to last. Sadly, Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian announced their split just a few months after their engagement aired. It was a real heartbreaker for fans who were rooting for them. Some say they were too different. So sad!
On a brighter note, Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch are still going strong, proving that some Paradise love stories can survive the real world! They officially tied the knot! Hooray for love!
So, there you have it! A whirlwind romance, some sparkly diamonds, and a whole lot of drama! Bachelor in Paradise 2021 certainly delivered. It reminds us that love is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes, it even comes with a side of tequila and questionable tan lines. What is there not to like!
