Bachelor contestant ’ alum Lauren Bushnell, country star Chris Lane get married in ‘secret garden’ ceremony in Nashville
Relations October 26, 2020 0 COMMENTSFormer “Bachelor” contestant Lauren Bushnell and country music star Chris Lane have tie the knot, just four months after getting engaged.
The newlyweds made if official on Friday in Nashville, in an indoor “secret garden” ceremony, according to People.
“I’ve just looked forward to the day for quite some time and I’m glad that it’s finally here,” Lane, 34, told the magazine. “I feel like I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be marrying her.”
Bushnell, the 29-year-old TV personality, who was engaged once before — when “Bachelor” Ben Higgins gave her the final rose on the 20th season of the ABC show, in January 2016 — also thinks she’s the “luckiest” person alive to be marrying Lane.
“We both recognize what we have is special, and we feel very lucky,” she said.
The couple have known each other since 2015, when the two met at a radio event in Austin, Texas. But it wasn’t until 2018 that the friendship turned into something more serious.
In August of that year Lane “randomly asked” Bushnell to join a group of his friends to go on vacation in the Bahamas. The mutual interest, though concealed, started to bubble up to the surface.
After the vacation ended, and they both got back to their normal lives back home, Lane said he couldn’t get Bushnell off his mind. Daily phone calls led to an increasing number of one-on-one dates, and the couple finally realized that they were in love.
In November 2018, the two made their coupled status official, after an appearance at the Country Music Awards week in Nashville.
“I finally found my take back home girl,” Lane told People, referring to his hit 2017 Tori Kelly duet, “Take Back Home Girl.”
A happily-ever-after future seemed to be materializing for the couple.
In April, Bushnell told US Weekly that she was certain that Laine was the real thing.
“I definitely know that he’s the person I want to do life with forever,” she said. “We have so much fun together and it’s been by far the easiest, most natural relationship I’ve ever been in. I always used to kind of laugh, not laugh at people, but I didn’t really understand when people said, ‘When you know, you know.’ I thought they just said that ‘cause it sounded cute and it sounded romantic, but now I actually know what they’re talking about ‘cause you just kind of know.”
A few months later Bushnell moved to Nashville to be with him, and over the summer Lane popped the big question. He proposed to her on June 16 in the in the backyard of her family’s Oregon home.
Even after helping to pick up the 3.5-carat, emerald-cut diamond, wedding ring, however, Bushnell said she was surprised with the proposal.
“Truly until I heard the words, ‘I’m going to ask her to marry me,’ that’s really when it all hit me,” she told People.
The wedding ceremony, attended by 160 family members and friends, was capped by the arrival of a Shake Shack food truck, which serve “late-night snacks” to the guests.
The couple they are thinking of going on “real honeymoon” after Lane finishes touring this year. But for now they have a quick post-wedding escapade in store.
