Zach Shallcross of The Bachelor fame has married winning contestant Kaity Biggar.

The couple, who got engaged during the long-running show’s 27th season in 2023, walked down the aisle on May 23 in Texas, according to court docs reviewed by TMZ.

It comes after the 28-year-old stud’s two proposals — one that aired on national television, and another that took place privately during a Portugal vacation.

The plan was always to wait two years for marriage, with Shallcross telling People in March 2023: ‘Right now, the main emphasis is living together in Austin, getting to know each other more and more, and just [seeing] how things go. There’s no rush.’

Kaity, 30, agreed, ‘We have the rest of our lives together, so why does everything need to be a rush? It doesn’t.’

Zach and Kaity announced their marriage news on Wednesday’s episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.

‘We got married May 23. We just did a cute little chapel celebration with our closest loved ones,’ the nurse shared.

Her new husband added, ‘We kept it very intimate. Very private.’

Guests included Zach’s parents, two younger sisters, plus Kaity’s mom, aunt and brother. 

The twosome admitted that they previously planned to have a bigger ceremony, but scaled back after considering the investment.

‘I just took a step back, and I was like, “I don’t know if we need this,”‘ Biggar reasoned.

She explained, ‘The whole point of a wedding is just staying true to the love and the connection of both of us, and I felt like I was honing in too much on little details, like, “Oh, well, my mom would like this, but these people would like that,” and I think I was getting caught up in details, and then I was losing the whole premise of it.’

And the blonde beauty explained one of her family member’s role in bringing the couple together. 

‘My aunt, who was actually the one that nominated me for The Bachelor, she was the one who found this chapel that we ended up falling in love with,’ she shared, adding, ‘It was perfect.’

For their honeymoon, they will enjoy a trip to Italy in March 2026.

‘What we’re excited about is planning our honeymoon,’ Zach said, ‘Because that’s just us, celebrating that high of our wedding.’

His second proposal to Kaity took place in Lisbon, Portugal last November on their two-year anniversary.

‘How lucky am I to get to say ‘yes’ to you twice!’ Biggar wrote at the time, along with a carousel of photos on social media.

Shallcross reshared the post on via Instagram Stories, writing ‘I love you.’
