Some Bachelor Nation couples hit different. The Bachelor franchise has been matchmaking since 2002. Back in 2003, Trista Sutter (née Rehn) and Ryan Sutter became the first Bachelor Nation couple to walk down the aisle. The twosome, who met while filming season 1 of The Bachelorette, celebrated 21 years of marriage in December 2024. "I struggle to find new words to describe how much I love you or new ways to express how much you mean to me. It's difficult to explain but so easy to feel," Ryan wrote in a heartfelt Instagram tribute at the time.
