Lauren Bushnell And Ben Higgins Ready For TV Wedding? ‘I’m A Lucky Girl,’ Says Newly-Engaged Lauren B.
Lauren Bushnell was the first girl out of the limo on the Bachelor season premiere, and if the spoilers are correct, she will be the last girl standing at the final rose ceremony.
On Monday night, Ben Higgins will struggle with his final pick, but the Denver software salesman tells Us Weekly that with the help of his parents and God, he made a decision that turned out to be a positive one.
Spoilers indicate that Lauren B. is Ben’s final pick, so there’s a very good chance that she will be much happier when she appears on tonight’s live After the Final Rose special than she is ABC’s video preview (below).
To make the spoilers even more believable, Reality Steve confirmed on Monday that Caila Quinn was passed over for the Bachelorette and JoJo Fletcher will be handing out roses this May.

Still engaged four months post-filming, Ben told Chris Harrison on last week’s Women Tell All that he would marry his fiancee “tomorrow” if he could, and he’s “more in love” than he’s ever been.
On tonight’s ATFR, fans will find out what’s next for Ben and Lauren. Will they get married in the near future, and do they plan on televising their wedding?
First, viewers will have to get through a very emotional season finale before they find out what the couple’s wedding plans are and where they plan to live, although there’s a good chance they are just excited to go out on a real-life date.
The two-hour finale features both JoJo and Lauren’s final dates with Ben, during which both girls will get to meet Ben’s parents. Although Ben’s mother states in a video preview that her choice would be JoJo, there’s no doubt that she has faith in her son to make the decision that’s best for him.
After an emotional “goodbye” to JoJo, Us Weekly’s insider reveals that Ben calls Lauren’s father to get the “okay” to marry his daughter. Hours after his breakup, he waited for Lauren to arrive by helicopter with a Neil Lane diamond ring in his pocket.
The waterfront proposal spot in Jamaica was a beautiful backdrop for Ben’s proposal last November. He is rumored to get down on one knee and tell Lauren that she’s the “most beautiful woman” and that he wants to “wake up next to her every morning.”
A teary-eyed Lauren reportedly replies to Ben’s proposal with a “yes” and tells Ben, “I’m the luckiest girl.”
Ben’s romantic journey to find love will end with a one-hour live ATFR special with many of his former castmates from the Kaitlyn’s season of the Bachelorette in the audience.
Ben revealed before the finale that he’s happily engaged and ready to marry his fiancee, so get ready for some wedding news and possibly a hint that Ben and the future Mrs. Higgins will get married on an ABC Bachelor wedding special in the coming months.

Expect a flurry of post-show media interviews in the coming days before their relationship can reach some level of normalcy out of the spotlight.
Lauren is currently a flight attendant based in California and Ben lives in Colorado, so it will be interesting to see if they keep things traditional and live apart until they marry or if one of them will move so they can live together.
Unfortunately, the odds of Bachelor couples making it to the altar aren’t good, so Ben and Lauren’s relationship will be under media scrutiny in the coming months. According to Just Jared, Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are the only couple to get married in the past 19 seasons. Perhaps the 20th season will be a lucky charm for Ben and his bride to be.
Do you think Ben and Lauren will get married, and are you excited to watch JoJo as the 2016 Bachelorette?
