One Bachelor couple has been going strong for 20 years!
Bachelor Nation has helped bring together quite a number of couples through the years -- and while many of them have aired their engagement on television, not all of them have allowed fans to watch on as they said, "I do." Only a select few couples have actually chosen to televise their nuptials, welcoming millions of viewers into their wedding ceremony. Those who have opted to tie the knot on camera have no doubt made some lasting memories -- and earned a pretty penny while doing so.
Read on to remember all the televised Bachelor weddings…

View Story5. Marcus Grodd & Lacy Faddoul
Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul were the only couple to get engaged during the first season of Bachelor in Paradise. When the second season premiered, Marcus and Lacy returned to Mexico to tie the knot in an intimate beach wedding. Unfortunately, the ceremony wasn't actually legal, and things went awry for the couple shortly after. Marcus went off to basic training with the military, and when he returned, Lacy allegedly didn't want to make things official.
"When I came back, it was just a very different situation with her. It was kind of like postponing our plans. That was the drop of our relationship," Marcus told People. "She didn't want to live together anymore. She wanted to be able to take time apart again. Things just drastically changed after I got back. It wasn't the best situation to start planning a ceremony here in California."
The couple eventually went their separate ways.

The ceremony featured many Bachelor alumni, including Carly Waddell, who served as a bridesmaid and performed a song she wrote for the couple. The event also featured a performance from singer Matt Nathanson.
