Chris Harrison has been the face of Bachelor Nation from day one, which often requires him to be the officiant. How many has he done? Let’s investigate.
Bachelor Nation couldn’t imagine the franchise without its host, Chris Harrison. He’s seen it through all the seasons of Bachelor, Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise. Over the course of all these seasons, Harrison has had the honor of seeing people fall in love and come together in marriage.
And many times, it’s been Harrison that has been the officiant at the weddings, as is seen in PEOPLE’s slideshow documenting each one. He’s done a handful of Bachelor Nation weddings including Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham’s and most recently Chris Randone and Krystal Nielson. He’s the Bachelor Nation Papa Bear, and we adore him for it.
Let’s revisit all of the weddings Harrison has been a part of–it’s actually pretty darn adorable.
Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham
Earlier this year, Arie and Lauren tied the knot in Hawaii and just about four months later, had their first child together, a baby girl. You’ll all remember that Arie’s season of The Bachelor was quite the controversial one after he broke up with Becca Kufrin after proposing to her in the finale.
It was the ultimate heartbreak and something we had a very difficult time getting over for quite some time. As horrible as that way, both Arie and Becca have moved on in their lives, but it’s something we can probably never get over.
Harrison, of course, was there to officiate Luyednyk and Burnham’s wedding in January and witnessed all the drama that unfolded during the course of their relationship.
