Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown spares no expense on 'timeless' wedding to Adam Woolard in France
From reality TV heartbreak to a French fairytale ending, Hannah Brown finally got her happily ever after.
After navigating a whirlwind journey of public romances, including her broken engagement to Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette, the Alabama native, 30, has officially traded in her final rose for a wedding ring.
On Saturday, July 26, Brown, said 'I do' to Adam Woolard, 38, during a romantic ceremony on the French Riviera after four years of dating.
The reality star married her real-life leading man at the Domaine du Mont Leuze in the South of France, surrounded by 101 guests and sweeping views of the coast.
'We wanted something really timeless and classic, and really just the celebration of our love with our friends and family,' she told People.
Longtime fans of the popular TV personality know her road to love wasn't exactly smooth.
Brown first captured hearts in 2019 as a contestant on The Bachelor, then became the lead on The Bachelorette, where she famously accepted — and quickly called off — an engagement to Wyatt.
After that, she had a brief post-show spark with runner-up Tyler Cameron and a short-lived reunion with Peter Weber while his Bachelor season was airing.
But it wasn't until she left the behind looking for love on TV and joined a dating app that she met Woolard, and found a very real connection.
Their wedding weekend kicked off with a beachside welcome party at Le Negresco Beach Club in Nice, where guests arrived dressed to the nines in 'beach chic' attire and were treated to a four-course meal by the sea.
Despite her busy schedule, Brown was all in on making the wedding personal, romantic, and full of intention.
She praised Woolard for being a hands-on groom and wedding planner Neillie Butler for bringing the vision to life.
'We want our community to feel loved and appreciated and we want to pour into them, but we also have to make sure the day's about us and we feel connected,' Brown explained.
That emotional connection was front and center when the couple shared a private first look the morning of the wedding.
During the ceremony, guests were serenaded by a string quartet performing The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun, and the bridal party, including Brown's Bachelor bestie Heather Martin, walked down the aisle in colorful Show Me Your Mumu dresses.
Brown made a grand entrance in a custom Mira Zwillinger 'Cheyan' ballgown — complete with embroidered leaf detailing, Jimmy Choo pumps, and a cathedral-length veil.
'I feel like it is so classic, timeless, but also feels a little unique. I love it,' she gushed. 'I always knew I wanted to take up space on my wedding day… I feel like a princess, and I feel like that's exactly how you should feel on your wedding day.'
Woolard, emotional as he watched her walk down the aisle, said he'd pictured the moment for years.
'Seeing Hannah walk down... is something that I've always had a very clear picture of and how I would feel in that moment,' he said.
The ceremony, officiated by their Nashville pastor, included traditional vows, plus personal handwritten ones.
Cocktail hour featured live piano music and signature cocktails like the Pretty Lavender and French 75, followed by a multi-course French feast.
'One thing my mom was really adamant about is that I had a traditional wedding cake,' Brown said.
Later, Brown changed into a second look, the 'Bayne' dress from Mark Ingram Bride's Spring 2025 Collection, for the reception.
The couple shared a 'lightly choreographed' first dance to Ray LaMontagne's You Are the Best Thing, a song Brown sent Woolard early in their relationship.
'It reminds me of when we really had started to be boyfriend and girlfriend,' she said. 'And I think now more than ever, all the lyrics are really true.'
After dancing the night away, the newlyweds made a stylish exit in a vintage 1984 Mercedes-Benz Gazelle, with Brown donning a flirty Zimmermann departure dress.
After marking their latest relationship milestone, Brown and Woolard are looking forward to settling into married life in Nashville and honeymooning in Croatia.
'We're really focusing on making this house a home together,' Brown said. 'Spending time with our families and just having a little bit of a slower pace for just a little bit.'
Earlier this year, Brown admitted she's not in a rush to have children.
'We'll, get there when we get there,' she said in May on Maria Menounos' Heal Squad podcast. 'I go back and forth.'
She continued: 'I definitely think I would like to have a child. I don't want to miss out on that experience, but I haven't been quite ready yet. Which I think makes sense. I want to get married first. I want to be able to do that. I've never been somebody that's just waiting waiting waiting for that to happen.'
