"Yes, I watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette&amp;amp;#8212;and, fine, Bachelor Pad&amp;amp;#8212;obsessively, but I&amp;#x27;m not watching for the romance or the happily-ever-afters*. *I&amp;#x27;m mostly watching because my girlfriends and I like to cook dinner and then watch together, so we can make fun of people. Did I tell you about our Vienna sausage-themed dinner party? But I digress. In 16 seasons of The Bachelor and seven seasons of The Bachelorette only three of the 23 couples are still together: Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter from season 1 of The Bachelorette are happily married with two kids. Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum from season 7 of The Bachelorette are still going strong&amp;amp;#8212;and planning a move to Jersey! And Ben Flajnik still has bad hair. I mean Ben Flajnik is still pretending he didn&amp;#x27;t cheat on Courtney Robertson. I mean Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson, from the most recent season of The Bachelor, are still together. If you meet in front of the cameras, the odds of finding love on The Bachelor are pretty much stacked against you. But what if you get to fall in love behind the cameras? Pete and Cassie (above with ill-fated Bachelorette couple Ali and Roberto) met while both were producers on The Bachelor family of programming. Thanks to their jobs, they got little more &amp;quot;together&amp;quot; time than your average 9-to-5 co-worker couple. &amp;quot;We spend about 60 days a year on airplanes,&amp;quot; says Pete. Their jobs also meant the pair found themselves in locations that were decidedly more romantic than a cubicle farm: Anguila, Belize, China, Costa Rica, Fiji, South Africa, Switzerland, and Thailand, to name a few. So Pete and Cassie got all the same forced togetherness and romantic backdrops that the Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants get. But they also got the chance to get to know each other behind the cameras. (And off the pages of Us Weekly.) And they weren&amp;#x27;t forced to make any make-or-break relationship decisions three months after meeting each other. And after more than three years (and one messed-up proposal!) Pete asked Cassie to be his Mrs. at the &amp;quot;whispering gallery&amp;quot; in New York&amp;#x27;s Grand Central Station. (If you&amp;#x27;re not familiar with the whispering walls, our friend Joanna will fill you in! SO romantic!) In true Bachelor fashion, Pete proposed with a Neil Lane engagement ring, which he custom-designed with Neil. Swoon! More Neil Lane engagement rings from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette! And in a fun, Bachelor-y twist, Bachelor host Chris Harrison will officiate when Pete and Cassie say &amp;quot;I do&amp;quot; in California this summer! (No, NOT at The Bachelor mansion! (Although that would be pretty fantastic.)) How sweet is their love story?! Did you meet your groom at work? Congrats, kids! p.s. Even if you don&amp;#x27;t love The Bachelor, please play nice in the comments. This is a real couple&amp;#x27;s love story and wedding!
