Abigail Heringer & Noah Erb - Bachelor in Paradise 7 - Discussion

That's so sweet!! He is over the moon for her.

I am familiar with the Wigilia Polish tradition. Very similar to the Italians. She's in for the shock of her life.

@GuardianAngel Had to google Wigilia as I was unfamiliar with it! Gotta love those families that have such strong traditions.

What I like about Noah is he has completely respected Abigail's desire to take it slow. That in turn built trust from Abigail. I wish more contestants would learn from this example. You can't force love. It happens, if it will, when it will. They seem to be themselves around each other and have such a good time together.

@Norcalgal I totally agree. There's no rush imo, there's a lot of memories to be made in the dating stage.

Beautiful post by Abigail

As 2021 starts to wrap up, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for this past year. The amount of support and love I’ve experienced through DM’s, comments and more continues to blow me away.

When I first got the call saying that they wanted to cast me for the Bachelor, I called my mom in a panic. I was excited but also so scared and unsure if I wanted to talk about my hearing loss on tv, especially on a show that hasn’t had much disability representation. What if people weren’t going to be kind? What if they were going to be ignorant? After countless awkward interactions growing up, I had become so used to trying to “act normal” which meant to me, undermining my hearing loss. Acting like I had nothing different about me. I wouldn’t tell new friends, first dates, teachers and I felt guilty about it. I had something beautifully different about me and so when my mom said “if sharing your story can help just one person, one family, you should do it”, that’s all it took for me to say yes.

Since then, life has been crazy and practically changed overnight. But gaining the confidence to post a picture showing my cochlear implant or talking about my hearing loss didn’t happen as quickly. It took me 26 years. But I got here and I’m not ready to stop sharing. I’d like to think a lot of you are here because either you have a similar situation, know someone that is deaf or hard of hearing, or simply just curious and want to learn more. And I’m happy you’re here

Gosh darn they're cute as anything

I'm sure Abigail has helped some people be more confident about hearing loss. That is a very touching post not only letting us know what her life has been like living with hearing loss but how being on the show has enabled her to embrace her hearing loss. She is adorable.

They are the cutiest couple always hamming it up having fun!

They are a cute couple. I wish the shows stopped pushing for engagements putting needless pressure on people and instead encouraged a commitment that leaves room for fun and the chance to get to know each other more.

I think this is especially important for this couple. Noah had a very conservative upbringing - homeschooled and life was centered around church and family. Not sure about Abigail. But if they can enjoy each other and embrace a life together, despite the ups and downs, it's far better to have an engagement later than earlier. Plus they are both YOUNG!

Another cute post from Abigail and Noah. Sorry but the IG button isn't working for me
