Why Aren’t Ashley and JP Going on a Honeymoon? Exclusive

After the dream wedding they had over the weekend, you’d think the last thing Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum would want is go back to reality. But Wetpaint Entertainment has learned that’s exactly what the former Bachelorette and her new hubby are doing. Yep, they’re skipping the honeymoon for the time being.

“They’ll do it at some point, but not right now,” an insider close to the couple tells Wetpaint Entertainment. “They decided to postpone because it’s too close to the holidays — both Chanukah and Christmas — and they want to be with their families.”

“So for now, they’re returning home to New Jersey with Boo and life will go back to normal,” the insider adds. “Then, when they really need it, they’ll take a fantastic trip. But in the meantime, they’re finally husband and wife, which has them both on cloud nine. They’re officially a family now.”

We couldn’t be happier for all three them.

I completely forgot that Hanukkah starts next Saturday night. I can definitely see why they'd want to be home to celebrate with JP's family and then spend Christmas with hers.

On a related note, does anyone know if Chris and Peyton have gone on their honeymoon yet? IIRC, they didn't do it immediately because they started filming their TV show shortly after their wedding.

This was my thought exactly. I like strapless but think it is a bit over done now.

Talk about a beautiful bride!

In Touch has obtained the first photo of Ashley Hebert from her weekend wedding to J.P. Rosenbaum, and The Bachelorette star looked stunning!

“Ashley's gown was $70,000 and designed by New York designer Randi Rahm,” a wedding guest tells In Touch of the bride’s dress. But even expensive gowns aren’t exempt from wardrobe malfunctions! Ashley’s fairy-tale dress ended up getting caught to — and from — the altar!

“Apparently Ashley got a little too excited to rush up the stairs to her waiting groom, and her dress got stuck!” our insider reveals. “The bride did a little dance on the platform of the arbor while J.P. rushed back down the stairs to grab her train.”

But it didn’t faze the bride!

“She began to walk, but looks over her shoulder and holds out her hand waiting for him to come with her!” our insider reveals of the cute incident. “After the ceremony, J.P. kisses his new bride, then she gets caught on part of the stairs. She knows J.P. is there to help her out, and he rushes down the stairs to get her train fixed.”

And while Ashley looked fantastic, her dress was apparently so heavy that she had problems dancing at the reception ... and according to our insider, there was a lot of it!

“The first dance was to Matt White's song 'Love,' which he performed for them," the insider tells In Touch. “This wedding was not for show — they are legitimately in love and so, so happy.”

But that was just the beginning. Joining in on the festivities, the guests and newlyweds continued to bust a move until the end of the night.

“At the end of the reception, they did the traditional Hora dance, lifting Ashley and J.P. up on chairs as everyone danced around them,” the guest shares, adding that “there was a really good DJ.”

Overall, the wedding seemed to be a hit and love was definitely in the air for the couple that broke the Bachelorette curse.

“The wedding was beautiful,” our insider shares. “I overheard a guest gushing, ‘Ash and J.P. are the real thing. It’s rare these days. You can tell he is so in love with her the way he rushed down to fix her dress...'"

Fans can tune in to see the newlyweds exchange vows on The Bachelorette: Ashley & J.P.’s Wedding, airing Dec. 16 on ABC.

The problem is that while Ashley has the figure to wear strapless, lots of other women do not. I think there's been alot of fashion pressure put on brides to wear strapless the last few years. In general it's just nice to see more variety of styles.

ITA with this. Love that she chose sleeves, and glad to see sleeves making a comeback overall.

Might be in keeping with Jewish faith or customs, to keep the shoulder covered. Someone who knows about this better than I can better address this.
Plus with Ashely's petite frame, I love that the dress is form-fitting.
