"It's not all helicopters and volcano tours after you go home."
Ain't that the truth! While The Bachelor franchise has aired a collective 26 seasons, only seven marriages have come out of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad and Bachelor in Paradise over the last 14 years.
And the spinoff Bachelor in Paradise has produced two of those marriages in just two seasons, with Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert tying the knot in front of ABC's cameras at the St. Regis Monarch Beach in California on Jan. 24., which will air as part of tonight's The Bachelor at 20: A Celebration of Love special.
E! News was in attendance on the big day, and asked Bachelor Nation alumni, including the original Bachelorette Trista Sutter, who swapped vows with winner Ryan Sutter in a televised 2003 special, what advice they would give to Jade and Tanner to make sure their relationship lasts after the camera stop rolling.
"Communication, respect, trust, humor, friendship, honoring who they are as a person and encouraging that, great gratitude," Trista listed. "All of the above!" (Proving how much she respects husband Ryan, she let him skip out on doing press with her so he could watch the Denver Broncos game at the hotel bar!)
It was Trista's advice that the bride and groom were taking most seriously, with Jade telling us, "I've always been a hardcore Trista and Ryan fan, I love them! I was able to have a really great conversation with them...Trista is so great, she was just like,' Enjoy the moment, feel all the love and support from everybody.'"
And many Bachelor and Bachelorette alumni were offering their love and support, as well as words of wisdom, including Jason Mesnick, Andrew Firestone and host Chris Harrison, who officiated their ceremony. But given the franchise's track record, not everyone felt qualified to offer advice, like former Bachelor Bob Guiney, who said he's "made a mess" of many of his past relationships, and one-time Bachelorette Jillian Harris.
And most recent Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe and her beau Shawn Booth, who are engaged, said they may ask Jade and Tanner for tips, with Shawn joking, "We're going to ask them for advice after!"

The Bachelor at 20: A Celebration of Love special airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
