The Bachelor golden couple Matty J and Laura Byrne have revealed that they’re adding a detail to their wedding that’s a nod to their time on the reality show together.
Laura competed on Matty J’s season of The Bachelor back in 2017 and ultimately was picked for his final rose. The couple’s relationship went from strength to strength and they are now engaged with two children, Lola Ellis and Marlie-Mae.
Now, three and half years after their engagement, Matty and Laura are finally set to tie the knot, and they have revealed that they’re including a detail inspired by The Bachelor. Surprisingly – that detail isn’t a bunch of red roses.
“We will have roses, but they won’t be red,” Matty told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“The biggest question for us was, how do we get Laura to the venue? We weren’t too fussed on getting a really fancy vintage car or anything like that. And then where we’re getting married, you couldn’t get a fleet of cars either. There was a lack of options when it came to vehicles.”
He continued: “So then I was like, look, there’s going to be you plus the kids plus your bridal party plus your mum and dad. Just a limo, like a Chrysler stretch limo, seems like the obvious choice. It means everyone’s together, you can do it in one trip, and there was one available.
“So it’s like the same type of limo that you’d see on The Bachelor where our love story began. It’s that same vehicle that will drop Laura off along with her bridal party at the venue.”

Matty added that the sweet detail is very “full circle” for him and Laura.
“Laura was saying it’s going to be really nostalgic being in that limo with all the other girls waiting to step out onto the red carpet, or in this case the white carpet, for the ceremony,” he said.
“This time she’s bringing a gift. Obviously, the rings have been made by Laura, she’s made her own wedding band and mine as well.”
Matty told the publication that he’s become overwhelmed by all the time and effort that wedding planning takes.
“I do feel a bit stressed at the moment,” he admitted. “It’s probably been the hardest event that I’ve ever had to pull together, and I’ve had some really tricky clients in the past. It’s been really hard.
“It’s also one of those tricky ones where we’ve had so much time because we’ve been engaged for almost four years, the wedding was originally meant to be last year but got pushed back, and I think that’s been like a false sense of, I guess like, how much time we’ve had. It just felt like it was never going to happen.
“Now that we’re weeks away, I’m still scrambling. We’re yet to write our vows and haven’t got flowers organised just yet, but that’s on my to-do list. It’s a very last-minute sprint to the finish line.”
