Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar—who met and got engaged on Season 27 of The Bachelor—are officially married, and they announced the news with a wink at the franchise’s reputation for short-lived romances.
In a set of wedding photos shared online, Biggar captioned the post with the line: “Who said Bachelor couples never work out?” Entertainment Weekly reported the couple married on May 23, 2025, in Texas, citing county marriage records.
A low-key legal wedding, followed by a bigger celebration
Their path to “I do” wasn’t the usual reality-TV fairytale wedding rollout. People reported that Shallcross and Biggar legally tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in Texas on May 23, 2025, citing court documents first reported by TMZ.
Later, they celebrated more publicly. People also reported that the couple held a larger wedding celebration on Nov. 15, 2025, at Tiger Lilly in Austin, Texas, about five months after marrying in an intimate ceremony at Chapel Dulcinea in the Austin area.
Why did they choose a simpler approach
The couple had previously been candid about not wanting to pour a huge budget into a traditional wedding. In earlier reporting, Biggar described seeing wedding quotes that were far higher than they expected, which pushed them toward a courthouse ceremony and a later party with friends and family instead.
It’s a practical move, not a “settling” move—and honestly, it’s also a smart one: you can make the legal part simple and still throw a meaningful celebration when timing and money make sense.
From engagement to marriage
Shallcross proposed to Biggar during the March 2023 finale of The Bachelor (Season 27), which capped their on-show relationship and set them up as one of the season’s success stories.
Their wedding announcement effectively closes a long chapter of “are they still together?” speculation that follows most franchise couples after the cameras stop rolling.
The quote that made the headline
Biggar’s “who said…” line landed because it’s aimed directly at the stereotype: Bachelor relationships often flame out once real life kicks in. Their update doesn’t prove the franchise “works,” but it does put them in the smaller group of couples who moved from a TV engagement to an actual marriage—and they clearly know that’s the exception people notice.
