'The Bachelorette' Alum Jillian Harris Celebrates Bachelorette Party After 8-Year Engagement
Jillian Harris revealed she recently celebrated her bachelorette party at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Canada ahead of her fall nuptials 15 of her closest loved ones attended the events, which included dinners, canoeing and dancing Harris and fiancé Justin Pasutto are set to tie the knot in Europe in Fall 2025Jillian Harris is celebrating her soon-to-be wedding with loved ones. The Bachelorette alum, 45, shared a look at her bachelorette party — eight years in the making — ahead of her European nuptials with fiancé Justin Pasutto. 'After eight years of being engaged, I finally had my Bachelorette party, and here's how it went…,' she wrote over a video showing her and her friends throwing off their cowboy hats in celebration in front of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Canada. Clips showed that the girls decorated the space with the words 'Last Hoedown,' and Harris even had a white 'bride' cowboy hat for the occasion. She showed a bartender pouring cocktails and the girls sharing drinks and dancing. Additional clips showed them doing yoga and taking a dip in a lake. 'All of my favorite things, we did it all,' Harris said in the video, as she and her closest loved ones got into a canoe and rowed down a lake. The girls also chomped down on several different meals and drank wine. 'Going back to my Alberta roots with 15 of my besties was exactly what my soul needed,' she captioned the post. 'We made so many unforgettable memories. From the yummiest food, to morning pilates and canoeing on the lake, dancing to country music, singing, belly laughing, and stories we'll be telling for years.'

'Honestly, I couldn't have imagined a better way to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who are so special to me. My heart is SO full.🤠🫶🏼🥹🏔️🥂👰🏽♀️ #hosted,' she concluded her caption. Harris confirmed earlier this week that she and Pasutto were planning a 2025 European wedding after eight years of being engaged. The couple met in 2012, got engaged in December 2016 and share two children: 8-year-old Leo and 6-year-old daughter Annie. They had initially planned for a Summer 2020 wedding, but postponed it due to COVID. Then, while the couple was planning a family trip to Europe to celebrate Harris' mom's 70th birthday in 2024, she had an idea to 'just get married' there. They eventually postponed it one more time, landing on a Fall 2025 wedding date. "Yeah, it's going to happen. We were going to pull it off this fall, and everything was looking great, and we told everybody that was in our wedding party and the people that were coming that it was happening," Pasutto told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview last summer. Harris chimed in, saying that the couple was "excited" for the big day, particularly since they've settled on a location. "Justin is Italian, and I love Europe," she shared. "We just couldn't think of anywhere that felt right, and when we're there, we just love the bread and the cheese and the music and the laid-back culture, and it just feels like you could do something a little bit more laid-back there. And we love traveling, so that is the plan." Read the original article on People
