In the tumultuous and dramatic Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, only a few couples persevered until the end. Among the beloved pairs, Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch successfully navigated the challenges on their journey to the finale.

Following the finale, Kenny and Mari made it clear they were still together.

In October 2021, Kenny posted a few photos of his fiancée via Instagram with the caption, "There's something about Mari," with a heart. Mari shared a similar post, writing, "Taken forever" alongside heart and heart-eye emojis.

We're not that surprised, to be honest. Throughout their journey on the dating show, they shared romantic pictures with each other, so it was always clear that Mari and Kenny were on good terms at the very least!

After a two-year engagement, Mari and Kenny said "I do" in front of 65 guests at Hacienda Don Carmelo in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023. Kenny's sister officiated the ceremony.

Regarding her and Kenny's wedding date, Mari explained to People, "I do believe in signs and numbers, and so 11/11 is obviously seen as a special number, and it means good things."

Mari and Kenny also expressed excitement about spending the rest of their lives together.

"As a little girl, I always dreamed of my wedding day and what's it going to look like and what am I going to wear, but as you get older, you realize that that's not the important part," Mari said. "The important part is actually finding a person that you want to spend the rest of your life with and that you get along so well with."

She continued, "And it wasn't until I met Kenny that I was like, oh yeah, I'm not thinking about that as much as this is the kind of person that I want to be with. ... I know that Kenny is the kind of person that I want to be with forever."

Kenny, on the other hand, admitted that he didn't think he would get married, telling the outlet, "As you get older, you get comfortable being alone for a while; it gets normal."

"So, to be able to end up where we are and the way we met each other, it's just wild to me how many things had to happen for us to even meet and get to where we are right now," he added. "So many stars had to align for this to happen. She brings me a lot of peace."

Kenny continued, "It'll be exciting to see what happens in the next five years. I feel like at some point we might start a business .... But it's nice to know that the future's bright with a lot of possibilities for us. We've already lived together for a really good chunk of time, so we already know that things are going to already are going to work out.”
