Rodney Mathews Officially Marries Fiancé Ari in Intimate Ceremony — See the Sweet Photos!
Congratulations!
Rodney Mathews became a fan favorite from his time on Season 18 of “The Bachelorette” and Season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Rodney took to social media in 2023 to go public with his relationship with then-girlfriend Ari.
And last year, the two announced that they got engaged in a beautiful proposal in Riverside, California.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star and his fiance have officially tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Beverly Hills City Hall.
Rodney and Ari both took to their Instagram Stories this week to share sweet snapshots from their special day.
The happy couple shared multiple photos taken outside of the courthouse, including excitedly walking hand in hand and admiring their marriage certificate together.
Ari stunned in a beautiful white dress and heels and held a small bouquet of flowers, while Rodney rocked a fashionable blue suit.
The two later went out to dinner to celebrate and posted photos of their rings with the captions, “Husband ♡ Wife 💍.”
Rodney and Ari also revealed that their larger wedding with friends and family will take place next month.
Ari excitedly shared on her Instagram Story, “The wedding pt. 2 in 25 days 🤭♥️.”
Fellow Bachelor Nation star Nayte Olukoya also posted a photo on his Instagram Story of a FaceTime call with the newlyweds and shared his congratulations.
Over a picture of the lovebirds posing with their wedding bands, he wrote, “Congratulations to my brother, my sister, my favorite couple! See yall soon 😎💒♥️.”
We are so happy for Rodney and Ari! We are wishing them a lifetime of happiness, and we’re sending them love in this exciting next chapter.
