Bachelor Bob No Longer
Don't call him Bachelor Bob anymore.
Bob Guiney, who couldn't pull the trigger on ABC's The Bachelor, has gone matrimonial offscreen, tying the knot with All My Children star Rebecca Budig over the weekend, People reports.
The wedding, described as a "surprise ceremony" by the magazine, took place Saturday at Guiney's family vacation cabin in Long Lake, Michigan.
"They were married outdoors by the lake," Budig's mother, Mary, tells People. "It was low-key--just family and friends."
About 50 guests attended the ceremony--presumably none of which was Estella Gardiner, the woman Guiney didn't quite propose to on the finale of The Bachelor in November 2003.
Budig eschewed an A-list designer for her wedding duds, opting instead for a two-piece white cotton dress with blue trim and appliqu? flowers designed by a friend.
The whole shebang lasted about 20 minutes and featured vows written by the betrothed. The Bachelor wedding was followed by a celebratory barbecue.
Guiney and Budig met in January 2003, while taping a segment for Bachelor XYZ, an ABC Family recap show composed of Bachelor highlights.
Guiney, who had just been given the boot by Bachelorette Trista Rehn, was instantly smitten with the soap-star host of XYZ, but the attraction wasn't mutual--Budig was dating someone else at the time.
However, by November, with both newly single, Guiney and Budig reconnected. They announced their engagement this May.
Saturday marked the first trip down the aisle for Budig, second for Guiney, who frequently cited his divorce as his reason not to commit on The Bachelor.
This time around, Guiney says he had no trouble going all the way, telling People: "I wanted her to feel how committed I am to our relationship. We just have an absolute blast together. We are best friends on top of everything else."
