Remember, this all started when Ashley dodged a bullet on The Bachelor. First off, Brad Womack let her go before the final rose ceremony, so she didn't have to bear the embarrasment of that. And, second...she's marrying the guy she met on The Bachelorette!
The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison leads Ashley down the path to her future—or at least down to the driveway where she'll await the arrival of 25 suitors vying for her hand.
This season, the producers dreamed up the idea of the suitors roasting the Bachelorette, possibly the most nauseating group date of all time.
Hallelujah! Before things got too serious, Ashley saw a bunch of ripped dudes—including her future hubby— with their shirts off when the group date called for Muay Thai boxing.
Viewers doubted Ashley's sanity when she totally fell for the d-bag that was Bentley Williams, the contestant who couldn't stop complaining that he wished Emily Maynard had been the Bachelorette and then just tried to manipulate Ashley as much as possible for the fun of it.
Ashley and Ames Brown hit it off from the start and the portfolio manager made it all the way to the final four. After making it no further, however, he later made the regrettable decision to hop into Jackie Gordon's limo and leave Bachelor Pad in a blaze of ultimately futile romantic glory.
Ashley visited Constantine Tzortzis' hometown and everything, but the I-don't was on the wall when he declined the overnight date in the Fantasty Suite.
Brimming with confidence, winemaker Ben Flajnik managed to completely ignore Ashley's body language and propose before she could break the news that she wasn't in lovew tih him. Obviously scarred, he went on to propose to now-ex-fiancée Courtney Robertson on the subsequent season of The Bachelor.
J.P. Rosenbaum had us all biting our nails as he wondered aloud whether he wanted to go through with the proposal. But he did and Ashley said, "Yes!" A million times,yes.
The betrothed duo smile for the camera after all goes right on the season finale of The Bachelorette.
