This season of The Bachelor might have you wondering if Nick Viall really is there for the right reasons. The show is supposed to end with an engagement, followed by a wedding, right? Fortunately for Nick, there are quite a few former Bachelor contestants he can look to as role models.
Trista and Ryan Sutter, the couple that was born from the first-ever Bachelorette, is one of our favorite romantic success stories. They wed in 2003 and are still going strong. Another one of our favorite couples is Sean and Catherine Lowe, who welcomed their first son, Samuel, last year.
And now that Bachelor in Paradise has entered the franchise, there’s even more opportunity for engagements, just look at Jade and Tanner! Even if you didn’t watch their season, you probably know all about the magical things that happened at their wedding, thanks to Liz (who hooked up with Nick, if you missed her talking about it every five seconds). To bring you a little hope for this season, we’ve rounded up all the couples from the Bachelor franchise who are still in it for the long haul.
