Ben Higgins' Fiancée Jess Clarke Said Yes to a Wedding Dress!
Jess Clarke can officially cross one major item off her wedding checklist.
On Tuesday, People revealed that Jess found her wedding dress — a custom look by Atlanta designer Anne Barge.
According to the outlet, Jess traveled to Atlanta with her mom and Ben’s mom for the fitting. Luckily for Jess, she found a dress at her first spot!
Shawne Jacobs, president and creative director of Anne Barge, explained to People that Jess tried on a variety of designs and styles, such as a "minimalistic crepe gown" as well as some "princess ballgowns."
Jess said of the experience, "Shawne and Erin at Anne Barge made the experience even better than I could have imagined. With every dress, they allowed me to imagine different changes and assured me that anything was possible."

She added, "I have never felt more beautiful and I left feeling so peaceful and confident. It was an experience I will never forget."
Ben Higgins and Jess recently marked their six-month engagement anniversary. They also enjoyed a celebratory dinner at their first date location spot in honor of their two-year anniversary. Though that isn’t until December, they opted to spend it together early because Jess’ school schedule might prevent them from being together on the actual day.

Jess posted an Instagram Story that showed Ben explaining all the details about that fateful night.
"When you first came to Denver, we went to a restaurant in Evergreen called Willow Creek. We didn’t know each other well. We just had messaged," he said. "We sat at Willow Creek for 3½ hours. We started at maybe 2 o’clock and we sat until dinnertime, when they had to ask us to leave."
Ben said that was "the moment I knew that I was in trouble."
Congratulations on finding the dress, Jess!
