SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO: 'Bachelor in Paradise' stars Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin have found their happily ever after.

As per People magazine, the reality TV stars recently exchanged their vows in front of a total of 65 guests at Hacienda Don Carmelo in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico on November 11, 2023, Saturday. 

While having a conversation with the media outlet, Pepin revealed the significance behind the wedding date of the pair.

She told the publication, “I do believe in signs and numbers, and so 11/11 is obviously seen as a special number and it means good things."

The pair's wedding celebration took place over Veterans Day and it holds a special meaning for Pepin as her dad served in the military for 25 years.

She further added, "I'm his only daughter, so that’s special. He hasn't had the best association or memories with Veterans Day, so hopefully this year we'll change that and for Veterans Days moving forward.”

The couple wanted their wedding to be “smaller, easier to manage” and “more intimate.” Along with their close friends and family members, their fur babies, Dice and Monster also marked their attendance at the wedding in Puerto Rico.

For the big day, the bride wore a Justin Alexander gown, meanwhile, the groom opted for a black tuxedo.
