She’s the first black lead, and abc isn’t giving them a tv wedding🤔 I would have watched because I love them❤️

[@SalveRegina8]

rockberrychick SERIOUSLY!!! ❤️

[@jame4930]

That’s what I said, 🤔.

[@nacyadams5377]

rockberrychick why spend money on an opportunist that will not last.She had to convince Bryan to set a date?This is such a Shan.Bryan is sneaky and wants more from ABC.I am so glad that they distance themselves from them months ago.They bled ABC more than any other contestant.100,000 ring,250,000 yo be the lead, on all episode250,000, Bryan 8,000 watch, a two weeks trip back to Spain.Now she wants a million dollar wedding from ABC when no one cares about them.Sneaky users.I thought the dad suppose to pay for his daughters wedding?She can keep her shabby wedding, since she do not want to pay and walk her ugly ads yo the court house a d let her dad married then.Her dad do not even want to be apart of she and Bryan relationship.He feel Bryan should have bought his daughter her weddi g ring.

@@nacyadams5377 Wow, you talk a lot of mess for somebody who don't know ANY OF THEM and for someone who can't spell to save their life...smh. There is a such thing called proofreading... And there is an "edit" button that you should've touched to correct all of your misspelled words.

[@puppylove422]

i hate conspiracy theories. TRUST ME if this was a racist action, it would be VERY clear. And if they are getting MORE attention for being minorities or black, how is that bad?

[@natsaidthat]

Rachel interviews are the best!!! She is always so sincere and honest. Bryan and Rachel deserve a TV wedding. Regardless, she will be a beautiful bride.

[@normielovesalot3538]

Somebody tell this girl to make her own KZbin channel. Be your own boss! Post your wedding yourself and make money from streams. Post little updates. You don’t have to be a daily vlogger, just show big updates and cute stuff! Like when you get pregnant, and have a baby, and move to Miami or wherever.

[@bbwalk100]

Do you follow her on facebook or Instagram? You can leave her a message.

[@RTRT-ZAM]

Good idea!!!!!

[@Jackiluv777]

You’re smart... and motivational... great advice!

[@TRIPLEMLUXE]

Normando Lovesalot YESS! I AGREE!

[@sarahkelly3234]

I just saw Arie & Lauren wedding. Clips all over social media. I think there are so many outlets to show off a wedding without tv.

[@ninavaughn-didanielli3920]

Arie's wedding is being televised. I had to watch 3 hours of him breaking it off with the winner. Controversy gets rewarded and a beautiful ending like Rachel and Bryan's does not. Really, I am Latina...can't we see a wedding with the best Bachelorette ever (African-American too) and a Colombian-American? This would be a historic moment for the Bachelor franchise. It's not like you give us much diversity in the first place. This is the only reality show I watch.

[@goldrush18x]

They honestly owe it to Bryan & Rachel after portraying their love story in such a negative light. I mean, so many people were left rooting for the runner up even though Rachel wasn’t in love with him. They hid the true depth between R&B and played into this weird, fake forbidden love angle between her and Peter. They quite literally trashed their first interracial love story in favor of hyping up a basic white man and his emotionally abusive relationship with the lead. It says quite a lot that Rachel’s breakup with Peter ran longer than her engagement/the morning of her engagement. Not a shock that they won’t give them a tv wedding.

[@emilymcqueen4548]

The interviewer asked great questions! She made sure she got all the tea.

[@anonymousperson1327]

HELL NO!!! Give her a TV wedding! I guess the producers either figure a doctor and a lawyer can afford their own wedding or that Bachelor nation doesn't want to see a minority wedding. Either way, Im disappointed!

[@mycoshe]

Or maybe it's because she can't make up her mind about a wedding date?

[@anonymousperson1327]

@@mycoshe ---She's been saying for almost a year now that she wants a winter wedding between December 2018-January 2019. Many Bachelor couples who were offered weddings in the past had absolutely no idea when they wanted to get married. Prime example, Ben and Lauren.

[@mycoshe]

@@anonymousperson1327 I get that but it's obvious she can't lock on a date because now she's saying first half of 2019. Last I checked there are six months in the first half. I know it's none of my business but...

[@anonymousperson1327]

@@mycoshe ---The reason it's later is because she needs more time to plan her own wedding, as she mentioned in another video. It seemed like she was counting on ABC giving her a wedding, which it would've only taken them a month or so to put it all together for her. At this point I don't really care why they didn't offer her a wedding, I'm just disappointed because I really wanted to see her wedding day!

[@mycoshe]

@@anonymousperson1327 I was also looking forward to seeing her wedding. I followed her season and to be honest, I haven't watched the seasons after and I definitely won't be watching Colton's.

[@wt30001]

Rachel such a lady and well handled.

[@ninavaughn2150]

Terrible. Rachel and Bryan are the guy African American and Latino and it is the only wedding I would have watched. I have never seen the others.

[@daniellediaz2516]

I watched Trista and Ryan's wedding. It was beautiful. I would've loved to see Rachel get married. 💜

Rachel & Sienne both have beautiful eyes, it grabs your attention. Its like when they look at you they can see your soul.I know its random, but does anyones else notice that.Rachel looks gorgeous by the way.

SHE DOES GREAT INTERVIEWS NOT BORING.. very fluent 🙌

[@Jojobreez]

They don’t want to promote “this kind of interracial couple”

[@Jojobreez]

Lovely_Day they promote black men with white women quick

[@janicecooper2291]

Please give them a televised wedding. I've been waiting for this moment. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

[@lightnlovelylightnlovely3208]

Jojo Breez whether it's promoted or not, they still are not married yet. Black women be Leary. I see Meagan Markle half white self got married very fast.

[@lightnlovelylightnlovely3208]

Lovely_Day , Jo-Jo breeze is either mentally slow or just too nieve to see. This man didnt really want her like that. Even if they do get married I still don't think he is in love with her. he's just milking this for his own gain and to be on TV. He would have put a ring on the finger by now. Especially when he knows everyone is watching. And he has not done so , in private or in public . Some people just need to get a clue . Even the woman interviewing her knew it.

[@Jojobreez]

LightnLovely LightnLovely she’s married to a prince who tf wouldn’t marry at the speed of light tf

[@FutureSoapStar09]

I wanted a TV wedding for them but I didn’t think it was going to happen so I’m glad they’re moving ahead and getting married regardless. With social media and everything there’s ways to make sure us fans can see it. I just want them married.

[@vanessastlouis2851]

Rachel is so gorgeous and beautiful. Omg. You go girl, we love you guys, and king copper of coarse.

maybe it's for the best if it's not on tv, that way it'll be more special :). I wish them all the hapiness in the world

[@mandiemeier228]

So let me get this straight....Arie, the most hated bachelor that literally no one wants or cares to see get married gets an offer for a televised wedding. But Rachel, one of the most liked Bachelorette's, doesn't........................

[@sarahkelly3234]

Arie wasn't offered anything. He was open but nobody offered him anything.

[@mandiemeier228]

he still sucks & they still endorse him to no end lmfao

[@jame4930]

Not surprised that ABC didn’t make it happen for them, but disappointed as well. I wish them both all the best. For me, Rachel and Brian was the best bachelorette yet!

@@kerrian2731 I think there a lot couples right now about to get married. Arie and Lauren, Jared and Ashley, Jojo and Jordan... did I leave anyone out? I think Ashley and Jared confirmed they will be getting married next year on TV. It's just strange to me because Rachel was a bachelorette. Ashley and Jared were contestants.

[@blesseddaughter4358]

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to it. ABC does not want to dish out the money. Also maybe because she has some negative things to say about how her season was portrayed.

Why no TV wedding. Rachel is so bomb, so well liked. She and Bryan are so real. Give them a TV wedding. There will be so so many viewers.

[@miny4558]

They didnt offer a wedding I think because her season was so controversial. There were lots of people that didn't like bryan and were team peter and didn't agree with the way she handle everything. She lost my respect when she dumped peter only because he couldn't promise to propose. To me that says I want a ring not a relationship.

[@maureenmucureezi7099]

U get him.. He's yours for the keeps. I wonder why everyone is strung on that. He didn't want to be with her.. He had doubts until the moment the curtains closed on him.. Get over that my goodness

I am over it I really could care less . I am just saying that controversy is probably one of the reasons she was not offered a tv wedding. Her fans were pissed.
