It has been 20 seasons since Alex Michel handed out the first rose on Season 1 of "The Bachelor." To celebrate the long-running reality TV show, ABC aired a special Sunday night called "The Bachelor at 20: A Celebration of Love," where "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" stars Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert got married.
While the special aired on Valentine's Day, Roper and Tanner actually tied the knot on Jan. 24. at The St. Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point, Calif., according to USA Today. The wedding was a "Bachelor"-filled affair with tons of past cast members in the audience, such as current star Ben Higgins, Chris Soules, Ali Fedotowsky, Andrew Firestone, Ryan and Trista Sutter, Carly Waddell, Andi Dorfman, Nick Viall, Ivana Bozilovic, Bob Guiney and Jessica Canyon.
"You went from a girl I thought was cute on TV to my best friend in the entire world and I wouldn't spend my life with anyone other than you," a beaming Tolbert said to Roper during the ceremony.
"Jade and Tanner looked ecstatic and so happy as they recited their vows," a guest at the wedding told Us Weekly. "Jade was totally focused on Tanner and listening to every word he said. They were both overcome with emotion and beaming. When they were officially married, all the guests cheered and hollered and they shared a long passionate kiss."
