The couple became engaged in Thailand at the finish of filming on the 17th edition of The Bachelor in November 2012. The Bachelor: Sean and Catherine’s Wedding, hosted by Chris Harrison, also will give viewers a look at the wedding planning.

Past Bachelor and Bachelorette couples who will be on the guest list, along with participants and the wedding location, will be announced at a later date. The couple currently resides in separate locations in Dallas.

Lowe and Giudici join Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney and Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenberg as the fourth couple in franchise history to marry. All of those ceremonies were telecast on ABC.
