Reality

The Bachelorette alum Andi Dorfman’s nuptials have begun, and Tayshia Adams, Hannah Ann Sluss, and Amanda Stanton were spotted arriving in Italy for the destination wedding.

Tayshia, Hannah Ann and Amanda have been documenting their “girls trip,” leading up to Andi’s wedding, on Instagram. The girls shopped at Chanel, enjoyed a boat ride, went cave diving, and claimed to have eaten “gelato before every meal.”

“Lol this is what a real girls trip looks like,” Tayshia captioned a photo of the women’s shopping bags and dessert via Instagram Stories on Monday, May 29.

“I am a happy girl,” the Season 16 The Bachelorette alum added. “I love Capri!”

In addition to posting a video of herself showing off her glowing skin, Tayshia also uploaded many solo pics of herself drinking coffee on a balcony, dining out at restaurants, and drinking wine.

For her part, Hannah Ann posted a list of “the best Italian restaurants” to eat at during her trip, according to her waiter.

Hannah Ann — who competed on Peter Weber’s The Bachelor season in 2020 — also wrote on Instagram Stories, “Shopping, gelato, sight seeing Italy, and awesome girl time… means for the perfect day!”

Hannah Ann later added, “Girls just wanna have fun! The ultimate girls’ trip.”

And Amanda — who initially competed for Ben Higgins’ heart on The Bachelor in 2016 — confirmed on her own Instagram account that the girls never passed up a dessert man during their days of exploration.

While all three women are in relationships, their significant others apparently stayed home.

Tayshia has been linked to former Summer House star Luke Gulbranson, although the pair has yet to publicly confirm their romance, and Hannah Ann is engaged and planning a “small” wedding to NFL player Jake Funk.

When asked why her husband Michael Fogel, a realtor and an originator, didn’t join her for Andi’s wedding, Amanda explained, “We are going on a family trip [to Hawaii] in a couple weeks so he couldn’t take too much time off work!”

“He’s at home with the kids and Moose,” the two-time Bachelor in Paradise bachelorette elaborated. Doing the girls end of the year school projects. So cute lol.”

Amanda also revealed that she and the ladies were able to visit Capri and Sorrento.

Andi previously shared with Us Weekly that she also invited The Bachelor alums Kelly Travis and Nikki Ferrell to her wedding.

Andi, who starred on The Bachelorette’s tenth season after a dramatic breakup with Juan Pablo Galavis on The Bachelor, is set to marry fiance Blaine Hart on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.

Andi accepted a marriage proposal from Blaine in March 2022.

After Andi and Blaine got engaged, they bought and moved into a house together in Greenville, SC.

Andi recently explained on Instagram how she chose to wed on a Wednesday because she “learned that destination weddings are better during the week because it allows people to travel on the weekend before and then have their own little vacation that week and then get back on the next weekend.”

Andi and Blaine chose to exchange vows in the same location where they reconnected in Summer 2021 after her time on The Bachelor franchise.

“You know, the wedding that I want at 36 now is so much different than the wedding I would’ve wanted in my 20s, and I definitely want it to be smaller, more intimate. And we also want to share our love of travel,” Andi shared with E! News in late March.

“Some of our friends have never been to Italy,” she added. “They’re so excited. We love hearing about where they’re going to be before and after. It’s really a chance for us to push our friends to enjoy travel like we do.”

Andi pointed out how marrying abroad actually made the wedding plans a little simpler, and it helps that the pair had hired an experienced wedding planner to assist them.

Since getting engaged, Andi has documented the couple’s road to the altar on Instagram.

Andi previously shared photos of her wedding invitations as well as her fun “La Dolce Vita” bridal shower with family and friends, which took place in Atlanta, GA.

“The dress is definitely my favorite part,” shared Andi, who will be wearing custom gowns by Mark Ingram on her big day.

“I mean, I am getting married for the dresses and obviously the marriage. But let’s be honest: I’m having a wedding for the dresses.”

Andi admitted to the world she was in love in February 2022, and then one month later, she announced her engagement to Blaine. Andi wrote on Instagram in March 2022 that it was well “worth the wait.”

Blaine popped the question on a beach in Los Angeles, CA, which just so happens to be the pair’s special “spot” where they often enjoy sunset cocktails.

Blaine proposed with a ring designed by the same jeweler who had created Andi’s mother’s engagement ring nearly 40 years ago. Andi told People last year that her ring “symbolizes so much love and happiness.”

Andi initially revealed on Instagram in November 2021 that she was dating someone special, but she didn’t disclose his identity at the time. She even posted photos on Instagram without showing his face.

But Andi officially introduced Blaine to the world via Instagram on New Year’s Eve, ringing in 2022 in a big way.

And then on New Year’s Day, Andi uploaded a photo of the pair posing side by side in formal attire outside of the swanky hotel.

“Cheers to a year filled with love and sparkles. 2022… I have a feeling you might very well be the best one yet! Happy New Year,” Andi wrote alongside her post.

Andi told People that she wanted to “protect” Blaine from the public eye for as long as she could.

“But it’s fun for me to share it now, and it makes me feel good to see that people are truly happy that I finally found love,” she said at the time.

Andi insisted her love for Blaine is different from what she had felt in past relationships.

“Not only do we love each other tremendously, but we like being with each other. We both just want to make the other happy and in turn our relationship is a lot of fun. That’s the word I’d use to describe our relationship: fun,” Andi boasted.

“It’s not about it being easy or hard; that’s not our barometer. I knew Blaine was different and I remember just hoping that the shoe wouldn’t drop and this was the real deal and it turned out it was!”

Blaine told Us last year that timing was “everything” when it came to how his romance with Andi got started.

Andi and Blaine had been friends and they happened to be in Italy at the same time, on separate vacations, in Summer 2021, about 15 years after they first met.

“He basically said, ‘I want to take you out for drinks’ [and we’ve] been together ever since!” Andi gushed to Us last year.

Andi recalled meeting up with Blaine and having “no expectations,” but she couldn’t deny his good looks.

“When he walked into the bar… I was like, ‘Dang, he’s so cute,'” Andi recalled.

Andi then tried to convince Blaine to move to Los Angeles, but he apparently won that debate.

Andi, a former assistant district attorney from Atlanta, found fame when she appeared on The Bachelor’s 18th season.

Andi proceeded to star on The Bachelorette in 2014, when she rejected runner-up Nick Viall and got engaged to winner Josh Murray. The finale aired in July 2014.

Andi and Josh announced their split on January 8, 2015. Almost two months later, Andi took to Twitter to reveal she had decided to move to New York City. She then relocated to California in June 2020.

Andi has written two tell-all memoirs, It’s Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak into Happily Never After as well as Single State of Mind, the first of which bashes Josh and how he had treated her during their short-lived relationship.

Andi had accused Josh of being verbally abusive, temperamental and controlling in her book — which Josh in turn called “fiction.”

“I was disgusted with myself for what I put up with. I was a strong, independent woman and I allowed [Josh] to be [emotionally abusive]. Now, I know I don’t want someone jealous or controlling. I know what won’t make me happy in [the future],” Andi told People in 2016.

“We all have red flags in our relationships that we don’t see. Looking back and seeing those red flags was very cathartic for me. I realized our relationship wasn’t the highlight of my life like I thought it was. So I took it off the pedestal and realized all was not lost.”

Andi admitted in January 2021 that she would have made very different choices on The Bachelorette if she could go back and do it all over again.

“Honestly, if I had to pick a different person from my season it would not have been Nick, who was second. It would have been Chris Soules, who was third,” Andi said on the Dax Holt and Adam Glyn’s “Hollywood Raw” podcast.

“He was my buddy, my friend. I really liked Nick and Josh… Chris was like my safety blanket. He was the guy I could go on a date with and I knew that we would have a good time. There wasn’t a ton of pressure.”

Andi, who was single at the time, said she wouldn’t want to do the show again, even though she really enjoyed starring on The Bachelorette.
