Zack Wickham Spills Behind-the-Scenes Tea from Jasmine Goode's Wedding & Meeting Bachelor Nation
Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation fans first met Jasmine Goode on Season 21 of “The Bachelor,” and she later returned to our screens for Season 4 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since her time on the shows, Jasmine found love off-screen with her wife Melissa Marie and the two officially tied the knot last month.
The couple has spent the past four years together traveling the world, sharing adorable moments on social media, and appearing together on the TV series “The Valley.”
And now, their “Valley” co-star Zack Wickham has joined the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast to share all things Bravo, Bachelor Nation, and spill behind-the-scenes tea from their wedding.
But first, Zack touched on his friendship with Jasmine and revealed they first met after her time on “Bachelor in Paradise.”
He said, “What’s crazy is, when Jasmine and I met, she had just done ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ and had just gotten off of that and I think that’s when she moved to L.A. And she moved to L.A — the craziest part was she moved in with a girl that was [related] with someone in my class from high school. Meant to be friends.”
Zack went on and shared, “Very connected from Day 1. And this was 9 years ago that she moved here. I moved to LA 10 years ago. And then from that, we had met at some social events throughout the first, I would say like year and a half, two years. Then she needed a roommate and we just happened to be talking at this party.” He revealed that they ended up becoming roommates and lived together for two years.
The reality TV star was a part of Jasmine’s bridal party, along with multiple Bachelor Nation alumni such as Alexis Waters, Jaimi King, Danielle Lombard and Brittany Paige Farrar.
Reflecting on the wedding, Zack expressed, “It was gorgeous. We had so many Bachelor people there. I can’t name them all… It was funny because we had Bachelor people, we had people from DCC from ‘Making the Team’ …It was fun! It was great. So beautiful.”
He also spilled the tea on a slight hiccup with the dress code. “They had technically told us black tie, but then didn’t really mention black tie. And then I forgot to tell [my partner] Benji that it was black tie,” he shared. “I don’t think all the guests got that memo, thank God because then a lot of people didn’t show up in black tie.”
Zack went on and reflected on hanging out with Bachelor Nation at the wedding.
He said, “I’ve known some of them for a long time, like Danielle Lombard — known her forever. Alexis [Waters] was there. So there’s like a lot of people — Rachel Lindsay — there were a lot of people that I've just known throughout the years because of Jasmine.” Then in response to the question of who parties harder, Bravo or Bachelor Nation, Zack teased, “I wouldn’t know the answer to that question because I was black out.”
