Clare Crawley Answers Questions About Her Wedding and Opens Up About Being a Stepmom
Exciting new chapter!
Former Bachelorette Clare Crawley got engaged to Ryan Dawkins in October of last year shortly after introducing him to Bachelor Nation a month prior.
Then last week, the two officially tied the knot and Clare shared gorgeous photos from their wedding day.
Now, Clare is opening up about their big day in an Instagram Q&A with fans.
One person asked how the wedding day was and Clare wrote, “It could not have been more perfectly tailored to exactly us! Each and every detail was so meaningful. Even my bouquet was made of white lilies in honor of my mama (her name is Lilia).”

Clare went on, adding, “It was not a secret and not a surprise to the people who we are close with. I’ve always said even publicly that I wanted a very intimate/micro wedding soon after we got engaged.”
Another person asked Clare if she is planning on having kids in the future.
The former Bachelorette wrote, “Children are in my present. My husband has children, that makes me a step parent now to them and they are incredibly special to me. They count.”
And when it comes to having more children, Clare candidly wrote, “I understand the good intention behind this, but it is never ok to ask someone this in my opinion. You never know what someone’s private/personal health journey is. I can promise you this, I will always share what I am comfortable sharing, so you do not need to ask.”

Clare also shared that she and Ryan got married at the spot where they had their very first date in Sacramento, California.
Alongside a video of the two of them dancing over the course of their relationship, Clare wrote, “Our first date was at the state capital So it was only fitting that we got married at the place where it all began.”
How sweet! Congrats again to the newlyweds. We can’t get enough of these two!
