Congratulations to former Bachelorette Michelle Young who married sales consultant Jack Leius on Saturday, June 7th.
Michelle gushed to PEOPLE about the couple’s “timeless” wedding.
The final rose:
Michelle and Jack were married inside a glass atrium set beneath a canopy of trees. Approximately 200 guests attended the ceremony. “It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, and our cheeks may get stuck from smiling so big!”
“We knew regardless of how things turned out it would feel like an incredibly special day. So many fun moments and funny stories.”
The runner-up on season 25 of The Bachelor, and later the season 18 Bachelorette, wore a white wedding gown custom-designed by Anne Barge. Once Michelle reached her man, they played a game of Rock Paper Scissors to pick who would read their handwritten vows first.
Jack told the publication, “My favorite thing about Michelle is the aura she brings. She has this contagious smile and laugh. She is just this magnetic person that people gravitate toward. I’ve loved watching how she navigates life with so much confidence.”
“Jack always sees the best in everyone and will go out of his way to help anyone,” Michelle lovingly told PEOPLE. “I can open up to him about anything and also have fun with him doing absolutely anything. He’s truly my partner in crime.”
After the bride and groom said “I do,” they walked down the aisle together as Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” played.
The reception:
Michelle and Jack “made a pact to stay side-by-side the entire evening.” The former teacher explained, “We wanted our day to be very intentional. It’s easy to get caught up in the planning of it all and not transition into the moment. So, we made sure to plan small moments aside with each other.”
Before the wedding, Young shared that she was most excited for “dancing until our feet fall off.” Mission accomplished!
