Bachelors and Bachelorettes Wed

Every Monday night over 5 million viewers sit down in front of their television with their glass of Pinot Grigio to watch what is one of America's favorite and longest reality television shows.  The Bachelor and the spin-off The Bachelorette has created many invested fans (both women and men).  At the end of every season, viewers expect a ring and engagement and are seriously disappointed when it doesn't happen (I'm talking to you, Juan Pablo!).  Since fans see the entire relationship unfold from their first meeting to their happy engagement, some couples have chosen to televise their wedding.

Trista Rehn was the runner up from Season 1 of The Bachelor and was named the first Bachelorette.  She married Ryan Sutter on television on December 6, 2003. This was broadcast over a three episode series called Trista & Ryan's Wedding. According to sources, they were paid 1 million dollars by ABC for allowing them to televise the anticipated event.  The mini-series drew over 26 million viewers, making it one of the most viewed reality episodes of all time. 

Most recently, Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici tied the knot at the beginning of 2014.  Sean became fan favorite during the eighth season of The Bachelorette and won the spot of The Bachelor by a landslide for season 17.  Their wedding was also televised, but this time ABC put a new spin on it: their wedding would be shown LIVE. Lowe says, "The Bachelor is such a cool experience because people at home feel like they know us and they're invested in our relationship.  We have no problem sharing the actual wedding with everyone who has been with us so far."

Because these couples from the past have chosen to publicize their wedding on television for fans, currently engaged Bachelor/Bachelorette couples are feeling the pressure to do the same. Currently all eyes are on engaged couples, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried and Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray. They were both seen at New York Bridal Fashion Week last weekend so of course wedding buzz is following them.  My main question for this blog post is: Where do they draw the line? Are they going to let ABC start filming the birth of their children? Are there going to be spinoff shows to follow them around in their life? 

Although I am one of these viewers deeply invested and I completely appreciate the fact that they televise their weddings, they're normal people too? Do they not want their privacy even a little bit?

Would you tune into Andi Dorfman & Josh Murray's wedding?
