Jess Edwards Reveals Which ‘Bachelor’ Star Will Be in Her Bridal Party & Thoughts on Single Culture
Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation saw Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards fall in love and get engaged on Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since then, the two have been keeping fans updated with their adventures online and enjoying their lives as a couple. The Bachelor Nation stars recently found a home together in Texas and moved in at the end of last year.
The couple recently shared on “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” that they’re not in a rush to start wedding planning, but they have made certain decisions already.
Jess revealed that while she’s still figuring out her bridal party, she knows “for sure” that one of her fellow Bachelor Nation stars will be a part of it. “I have no siblings, but that’s okay. I have my best friends and I have plenty of cousins,” she shared. “Lea [Cayanan] for sure will be in it… Lea is my girl.”
Spencer chimed in that his one concern for the wedding is Jess being able to find enough bridesmaids. He said, “The one thing I am worried about too is her finding enough bridesmaids to match how many [groomsmen]. I have four brothers… and then at least three or four friends, for sure, that are going to make the cut.”
Jess also revealed that she and Spencer are planning to switch sides during the ceremony, so she’ll stand on the right so the left side of her face will show since it’s her “good side.”
“I’m gonna stand on the right side. I am not going to settle for hating every single one of my wedding pictures because my right side is the one that’s showing. So, we’re switching it,” she said.
The Bachelor Nation star also teased the venue will most likely be in Tennessee to accommodate her “Mamaw” attending since she doesn’t fly. However, she noted that they are “still open” to other locations.
Jess then chimed in with her thoughts on single culture and what she's learned about not settling.
“When you find yourself making those excuses [for people], it’s like, ‘No. No, you shouldn’t have to make excuses for anyone,’” she said. “Of course everyone has their bad days. Like I said earlier, no one’s perfect. There are always going to be things, but I think the huge thing is, is your partner being understanding? Is the person that you’re dating being understanding if you’re having a moment? ...Are they trying to find ways to support you?”
Jess stated that if it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right. “If you have to bring these things up multiple times and you’re seeing no effort in them trying to make it better then that’s your answer. They don’t care.”
Spencer also chimed in, “I do think that people don’t socially interact with people enough. In modern-day dating, I think that adding a phone is adding another layer of disconnect between people. And I think that it’s really easy to have back-and-forth of two or three messages and write someone off completely. Or have a few messages and think that they’re the best thing ever and then you have zero context on who they actually are as a person.”
