In the video, the pair — who got married at a New York City courthouse last year — were joined by several members of Bachelor Nation, including Andrew Spencer and Heringer, 28.
Amabile and Pitt met on the BiP beach in 2021, getting engaged during the season finale. In October 2022, they surprised Bachelor fans when they spontaneously went to a New York City courthouse and got hitched.
“We started the wedding planning process and we were like, ‘This is gonna take a while. Why don’t we knock out the marriage thing?’” Amabile said during an episode of his now-defunct “Click Bait” podcast at the time. “We thought it would be fun. We had some friends that did it.”
Stars Who Had Multiple Wedding Celebrations

Pitt and Amabile, who forgot to pick up wedding rings in time for the last-minute nuptials, always planned to hold a second ceremony.
“I think it was super weird at first. It’s taken me a little bit of getting used to saying husband, but not in a bad way! Like, it’s fun to say, we love saying it,” Pitt told Us in July, teasing that she picked out two wedding gowns for the Charleston celebration. “It’s just we were only ever fiancés for, like, a year and a half and now we’re husband and wife.”
The pair further revealed to Us at the time that they were in the middle of writing their wedding vows. BiP bartender Wells Adams, who had a front-row seat to their early romance, will be the officiant.
