After dating for a total of four years, the former contestants on “The Bachelor in Paradise” have taken the next step and been married.
The marriage between Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes has been finalized.
After participating in season 6 of The Bachelor in Paradise and leaving the island together in 2019, the two former contestants have now tied the knot. According to People, the couple chose a secluded mountain resort in Meredith, Colorado, for their wedding in order to pay tribute to Dean’s ancestors and celebrate his heritage.
The couple chose to have their wedding centered on their shared love of summer camp, as well as an homage to Dean’s late mother, Debbie Bell, who passed away while her son was a teenager. Camp Bell was the subject of their wedding. According to the site, the couple intends to alter their surnames to Bell in the near future.
The bride wore a gown designed by NWLA as she made her way down the aisle. She eventually changed into a dress designed by Katherine Tash later in the evening. Dean was dressed to the nines in a black tuxedo. Jackson, who is Dean’s closest buddy, served as the celebrant for the wedding.
At the event hosted by Cealynn and Dean, there were a total of 75 people present. The song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” was playing as Dean came into the ceremony, and “Kiss Me” by Sixpence was playing when the bride entered.
“We both love the [Colorado] area and it made it even more special,” Cealynn told People about how making the ceremony personalized for everyone involved made it seem even more meaningful to her. “We also wanted a means for everyone to be together for the whole of the weekend, as opposed to just for one or two nights. After seeing the location, we had no doubt that it was the ideal setting for our event. Everyone is staying in their own cabin and enjoying the amenities of the resort.
Unglert proposed to Miller-Keyes first in October of last year, followed by Miller-Keyes two months later. Less than a year after they each proposed to each other in 2022, the reality TV couple announced that they were getting married.
Unglert posted a sequence of photographs from his proposal on a beach in Hawaii with the phrase “under promise. over deliver. 10.24.22.” Concerning his new wife, it would seem that she popped the question to him when they were out horseback riding together.
“If you ask Dean, I believe that we can now call ourselves engaged! We decided a while ago that we would each propose to the other sometime in the near future. After Dean helped me overcome my fear of heights before he proposed to me, I felt it would be right for him to overcome his sole fear, horses,” Miller-Keyes later revealed in an Instagram post. “I had a lot of ideas on how I would do it, but after Dean had me conquer my fear of heights before he proposed to me.” “I can’t wait until we spend the rest of our lives challenging each other to step outside of our comfort zones.”
Fans speculated that the couple was already married due to the fact that both of them wore rings during public appearances many years before their wedding day. Although their wedding day has finally come, fans speculated that the couple was previously married due to the fact that both of them wore rings.
During an episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever! in 2020, Unglert said, “In my opinion, I don’t need the title of husband to show the world that I’m committed to one person,” “Therefore, the fact that I’m wearing the ring demonstrates exactly that — namely, that I’m committed to Caelynn and only Caelynn,” she said. That is the reason I’ve been wearing it.”
“I’ve been wearing it for the better part of the last half a year or so at this point. She also wears what I would call her fun little ring,” Unglert said, pointing out that the rings were neither wedding nor engagement rings. “It’s our way of telling the world or the people that we’re around that we’re committed to each other,” you might say. “It’s our way of showing that we care about each other.”
Despite this, it was quite evident from the beginning, regardless of whether or not Miller-Keyes wore a ring, that she was head over heels in love with her guy.
“He has the biggest heart out of everyone I’ve ever met,” she gushed to ET in 2019, referring to her boyfriend. “He loves everyone he meets and just makes everyone feel so special and so loved, and he makes me feel that way, and what more can you ask for?” “He makes me feel that way, and what more can you ask for?”
