“Tears and laughs were had and I’ve never felt so present with another person in my life,” Flajnik said of the wedding
The Bachelor alum Ben Flajnik has found his true love!
Flajnik, 40, revealed on Instagram that he tied the knot with his “best friend” in an intimate ceremony last month, sharing a photo of the couple in full wedding garb.
In the picture he posted on his Instagram, he and his bride could be seen beaming with wide smiles at the camera with an arm around each other. Flajnik wore what appeared to be a dark blue suit with a gray tie and white rose boutonniere, matching his new wife, whose name he kept private.
The bride looked beautiful in an off-the-shoulder white wedding gown that hugged her curves before draping out in a small train at the bottom. She wore a long veil that also reached the ground with flower motifs sewn into the fabric. She accessorized her wedding look with a pair of string pearl necklaces and carried a white rose bouquet.

“Last month, in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family I married my best friend and it was the most incredible day of my life,” the reality star captioned the post. “Tears and laughs were had and I’ve never felt so present with another person in my life.”
“I’m so grateful to do life with you and thank you for your unwavering love and support,” he concluded the post addressing his new bride.
Flajnik first appeared on Ashley Hebert’s season of The Bachelorette, failing to win her heart before he was asked to return in The Bachelor. At the end of the season, he got engaged to Courtney Robinson.

The pair called it quits less than a year later — though they revealed on The Bachelor‘s “After the Final Rose” episode that they briefly rekindled their romance after a broken engagement.
“We’re engaged. We’re in a good place,” Flajnik said at the time. “Now that the main part of the show, and all the negativity is gone, it can only get better … The root of the problem was us not being able to be with each other and talk about these things.”
However, the couple did not make it through and Robinson eventually married Humberto Preciado, with the couple welcoming two children with a third on the way.

Flajnik also previously revealed on the She’s All Bach podcast earlier this year that he dated Jennifer Love Hewitt prior to appearing on The Bachelor. He said the I Know What You Did Last Summer actress, 43, even went so far as to ask him not to become the Bachelor, but he had his heart set.
“I was like, ‘Well, there’s not much I can do here now,’ ” he said. “We’re dating for a couple weeks — I wasn’t going to not do The Bachelor.”
