“It was December 6, 2003. and I didn’t think I could be happier,” she wrote. “🤍 When I look back on this incredibly special day, I realize that I was actually insanely happy. Definitely the happiest I’ve ever been. But throw in a life woven over 21 years of babies and fur babies, peaks and valleys, love and lots and lots of laughter — and I know a different kind of happiness. Real, solid, faithful happiness where I feel seen, known and deeply loved.”

Two decades after finding love on the first season of The Bachelorette, Ryan Sutter admitted he’s faced some highs and lows in his marriage to Trista Sutter. “They never said it would be easy, but this year has been one of the craziest, most challenging and most unpredictable years of our 20s together,” (…)
She then added: “We’ve had bumps in the road, just like anyone else, but it’s really about staying focused on each other and making time for each other.”
In 2020 Trista talked about the experience of a televised wedding, revealing on an episode of the “LadyGang” podcast that A maiden child manufacturers have had plans certain storylines during her big day.
“I know this has been going on since my season, but it’s TV,” she shared during the November 2020 interview. “That’s what they have to do. Editors need to know who these people are and be able to pull certain clips from their ITM (currently). It’s a TV show, it’s always going to be a TV show. I feel like it’s becoming (will be) more of a TV show compared to how it used to be.”
