Who gets married on Bachelor in Paradise Season 9?

Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch

Host Jesse Palmer said on the season premiere, “One couple will actually get married right here on the beach.” While he didn't reveal who, it would be understandable to assume he meant someone from the current season, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

“There is a wedding this season which is not a thing that normally happens in Paradise," Bartender Wells told Parade. "Jesse [Palmer] is the officiant. I was the ring bearer in this one. I did have a job, and it was a relatively important one.”

Reality Steve reports that former Bachelor in Paradise couple Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch from Season 7 return to the beach to tie the knot.

Reality Steve surmised that this wedding was probably a favor to the show because Mari and Kenny actually plan to marry in November 2023 in her native Puerto Rico. The two will also have another wedding in Kenny’s hometown of Chicago in early 2024.

After Rachel angrily split from Sean when he decided to make a play for Jess, she got excited by flamboyant Brayden.

“Brayden’s definitely the best kisser on the beach,” Rachel told the cameras. “I was definitely so surprised by how much chemistry we have. I do feel happy.”

But according to a Reality Steve spoiler, Rachel and Brayden wound up just being a fling. The earring-wearing hunk left Mexico after the fourth rose ceremony, he said.
