Bachelor Nation Stars Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell Elope in Private Ceremony

The couple tied the knot on December 12, 2024, in an intimate lakeside wedding, revealing the news through a YouTube video and Instagram post.

Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell secretly married in a small gazebo ceremony by a lake in Tennessee on December 12, 2024.
The couple, who got engaged during a live proposal on The Golden Bachelor in January 2024, chose to keep their wedding private, sharing the news later with fans.
Mandrell's 8-year-old daughter, Blakely, served as the flower girl, despite feeling unwell, and was carried to the ceremony by Bowers.
The bride wore a white dress with a dramatic slit and fur coat, while the groom donned a navy suit, with simple decor including Target-bought roses and festive garlands.
The pair explained on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast that they opted for an intimate ceremony to focus on their relationship rather than hosting a larger event for guests.
