'The Bachelor': Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham Reveal Wedding Date, Plans
The royal wedding is behind us, but there's a silver lining: Bells will ring over Bachelor Nation within the next year.
"The Bachelor" Season 22 star Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his second chosen one, Lauren Burnham, have officially set a date. The two announced their plans for matrimony on "The View" Wednesday. After getting engaged amid controversy in March, the two are planning a destination wedding in a beautiful setting.
"We are very excited to tell you guys that we have booked a venue," Burnham said, according to People. "We're getting married in Hawaii on January 12th next year."
The two shared that they're planning to invite about 100 guests -- and no, that list won't include an ABC camera crew. Luyendyk Jr. described it as "a private wedding" with "just a close group of friends." The Maui venue, Haiku Mill, is an 150-year-old site that once was a sugarcane processing factory. Its website describes it as "Old World Europe meets natural Hawaiian splendor."
The couple's big news comes just a day after Luyendyk Jr.'s "Bachelor" winner and now-ex Becca Kurfrin announced that she got engaged, too, during her season of "The Bachelorette." Talk about a big couple of days for Bachelor Nation.
