JoJo Fletcher Says Yes to Her Original Wedding Dress with the Help of Becca Tilley
Though she flirted with the idea of trying something new, JoJo Fletcher is sticking with her original wedding dress.
The Bachelor Nation star explained why in an Instagram post this week.
“For a wedding dress try on UPDATE: after we tried on the OG dress + a million other new options… I kept coming back to my first pick even 1.5+ years later,” she wrote, accompanied by a photo of herself posing with fellow franchise alum Becca Tilley and media personality Tanya Rad, who helped in the decision-making process.
“So I’d say thats a win!” JoJo jokingly added. “Now need to unfollow every bridal account known to man to stop my wandering eye…”

Last month, JoJo revealed via social media that she was reigniting plans to marry fiancé Jordan Rodgers after multiple delays due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. At the time, she said that saying yes to the dress — whether it be new or not — was her first order of business.
“Will be seeing my wedding dresses for the first time since picking them out in 2019,” she wrote, adding that she was grateful to have Becca by her side. “So that will be fun and exciting and nerve wracking but at least @beccatilley will be there to talk me through the emotions.”
Back in May, JoJo opened up to Us Weekly about the recent challenges she and Jordan have faced along their journey to becoming husband and wife — five years after getting engaged on “The Bachelorette.”
“This has been just a very fluid situation and one that I feel like Jordan and I have done a really great job of rolling with the punches and just realizing that a lot of it’s out of our control,” she told the outlet, noting the impact of the pandemic.

“We’ve already postponed it a year from the last time. And when we rescheduled it for this year, it was supposed to be [in May],” she continued. “And when we had to make our final call, our venue is still at a 10-person maximum capacity. And everyone says, ‘Well, why wouldn’t you just move the venue and change your location and do all those things?’ Well, guys, it’s not that easy because there’s a lot of money tied up that we wouldn’t be able to get back!”
JoJo went on to say that she and Jordan “absolutely love the venue that we chose.” The Texas-based couple had plans to tie the knot in June 2020 and then May 2021 before postponing their nuptials both times.
“We’re at peace,” JoJo said. “We don’t want to sacrifice that day.”
