Bachelor - Bachelorette International - Former Leads - Contestants - Updates - Discussion

@Bobette Just came from the JoJo and Jordan wedding thread where we were discussing messy family dynamics and now possibly with Sophie, too? Geez - hasn't covid taught us that we should hold precious those we love as life will always throw curve balls?

Bobette wrote:@Agent99 Oooh why - do they not like him?  I don't follow Sophie but have a soft spot for her.  I like the fact that they eloped rather than make a big attention-seeking fuss like so many do, but perhaps it was precipitated by family disapproval?

I assume so  @Bobette.  Can't actually remember where I read about their "estrangement", but this DM article is sort of what I remember.  Honestly, reading between the lines, I would hazard a guess it's about money.  Money & family is a red flag to me (we need a red flag emoji here ).

Congrats to them. She looks lovely!

Money will do it. Greed is a horrible thing.

@Norcalgal IA material world seems more important than family.

@Norcalgal @GuardianAngel Yep, agreed.

Thanks for the link @Agent99.  If they've been together 4 years I don't really see how her family can say it was a rushed decision.  I find this interesting too:

Sophie admitted to her close friends that she was working on becoming financially independent from her family.

 

I would have thought she made enough money on her own but that makes it sound like her family are minted and perhaps thought he was coming for it.  

It's sad if they didn't think Sophie was enough of a catch without assuming he was only after her family fortune. She'd be a catch even dead broke IMO!

Big congratulations to Sophie Tieman who got married yesterday in Sydney 🤍 she makes such a beautiful, timeless bride.

I'm not a fan of strapless but that is a gorgeous gown. I love the headband the way she styled her hair and the long white gloves. I have to say one of the prettiest bridal outfits I've seen in a long time.




The strapless dress, with its pearl detailing, matched the retro style headband that Sophie wore atop her head. A full skirt in soft satin trailed behind the beauty, with a long train fanning out as she walked. Sophie added a pair of pearl earrings and wore her hair down in romantic waves.Wow! The 29-year-old former Bachelor star looked absolutely stunning in a white gown featuring an ornate, beaded bodice and matching opera gloves

@GuardianAngel I agree. Gorgeous. One of the best I've seen. Very Grace Kelly.

Here's a close up of that fabulous hair band. From her IG stories, if someone local can tell me what kind of orchestra that is, TYIA. Fantastic music!

She looks very pretty.

Honey Badger's having a baby.  Good for him.  I have a soft spot for Nick.  He should never have done the show and his management did him dirty IMO.  



Britt H has turned out to be nothing but a shallow fame seeker IMO but Nick and Sophie both seem to be doing well after leaving the show far behind.
