Bachelorette Season 18 ends in engagement

As Michelle Young got closer to handing out her final rose, speculation arose that one of her suitors wasn’t ready to propose. At the end of Season 18, she had to choose between all-in Brandon Jones and reluctant Nayte Olukoya.

The Season 25 alum ultimately sent Brandon home and put her faith in her relationship with Nayte.

Despite his previous hesitation, Nayte got down on one knee and asked the elementary school teacher to marry him.

Unlike most Bachelor Nation couples, Nayte and Michelle seem to be on the same page about their future. In fact, fans of the franchise might see a Bachelorette wedding before the end of 2022.

Michelle Young and her fiance have been making the rounds of media interviews following their engagement. Speaking to E! Online after the finale aired, the newly engaged couple spilled some wedding details.

They are eyeing a Summer 2022 wedding. “We want warm weather,” Michelle explained.

 The couple was also guests on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. Host Becca Kufrin put them on the spot, asking for “any wedding plans, any dates, any ideas, anything.”

Her co-host, Tayshia Adams, lightly scolded Becca for asking. However, Nayte and Michelle seemed unbothered by the question. “Summertime,” he told the podcast hosts.

While they didn’t give more details, Michelle did reveal that Nayte was the first to get the wedding planning rolling. “So when do you want to start talking about dates?” she recalled him asking.

Will Bachelor Nation viewers get to see the wedding?

Will wedding be televised?

Neither Nayte or Michelle discussed filming the wedding for ABC. However, it’s highly likely that they are contractually obligated to allow the network to film their wedding.

During the interview with E! Online, the couple also addressed the surprise gift presented to them at After the Final Rose. Host Kaitlyn Bristowe revealed that ABC was giving the couple 200k for a down payment on a house.

Nayte confirmed to the outlet that he plans to move to Michelle’s home state of Minnesota. However, the gift didn’t change his plans: it “just kind of really expedited the process by a few months,” he said.

Do you hope Michelle and Nayte’s wedding will air on ABC? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Congratulations to the happy couple on their engagement.

Don’t forget to tune in to Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor, premiering on Monday, January 3, 2022.

  1. I can’t believe she choose this man. I don’t believe he loves her. She will end up having her heart broke in the end.
    So no, I don’t believe this will happen.
