Former Bachelor Jake Pavelka Ties the Knot at 48 — See Inside the Intimate Wedding!
Just married!
Bachelor Nation fans got to know Jake Pavelka on Season 5 of “The Bachelorette” and again when he returned to our screens for Season 14 of “The Bachelor” as the leading man.
Jake proposed to Vienna Girardi at the end of his season, but unfortunately the couple split a few months later.
Since his time on the shows, Jake has kept fans updated with his life as an airline pilot and entrepreneur. And in 2024, he revealed he found love with girlfriend Aimee 14 years after his time on the show.
Earlier this year, the couple announced they were officially engaged after two years of dating. And now, the two have tied the knot in an intimate California wedding at Tuscan Rose Ranch on Sunday, June 7!
In an exclusive article with People magazine, the former Bachelor stated there was a time he didn’t think his wedding day would come.
"I wasn't sure I would get married — and then I found Aimee," he said. “It almost doesn't seem real. There's a sense of peace and certainty that comes with knowing I get to spend my life with my best friend."
Jake also revealed he and Aimee wanted their wedding to feel intimate and made their guest list "intentionally small." He shared that they wanted the day to feel more like a "gathering in our living room.”
Aimee comes from a family of hairdressers and shared that her mom, sister, and sister-in-law helped with her bridal look. "My mom's side of the family are all hairdressers," she said. "They're all doing my hair, the bridal parties' hair and some guests as well. That makes it incredibly meaningful for me."
The two exchanged their vows in an outdoor ceremony under a row of trees and enjoyed an intimate outdoor reception with winding tables. The newlyweds then danced the night away to a live band and cut a three-tier white frosted cake with cherries on top.
So beautiful! We’re sending huge congratulations to Jake and Aimee on their marriage. We’re wishing them a lifetime of happiness together!
