After placing third on Andi Dorfman's season of The Bachelorette, Chris Soules, an Iowa farmer and then-fan favorite, became the 19th Bachelor in 2015.

While some of his record-breaking 30 contestants were concerned about living in Arlington, Iowa, which has a population of about 400, there were a few standouts on his season who were willing to risk it all for love.

Though Chris didn't stay with his fiancée Whitney Bischoff for long after they got engaged on the show, viewers fell in love with quirky spin instructor Kaitlyn Bristowe and bombshell beauty / waitress Britt Nilsson.

Both Britt and Kaitlyn were named as the leads for Season 11 of The Bachelorette, but there was a big catch. The contestants were able to cast their vote for which woman would get to stay on as the Bachelorette, and which would leave empty-handed.

Kaitlyn was ultimately picked to stay on, and suitor Brady Toops chased after Britt to continue dating her off the show. Their whirlwind romance was also featured on the show.

Since Britt's brief stint as The Bachelorette, many things have changed.

He explained that he had gone on the show for her, and that he wanted to pursue a relationship off the show. The two dated while Kaitlyn's season was airing on ABC. Viewers were provided weekly updates about their relationship on the show.

"Yes, it is true – Brady Toops and I are no longer together. We had a wonderful, sweet, and life-giving relationship that I appreciated, learned from, and thoroughly enjoyed. Brady is one of the most genuine, godly, encouraging, generous, kind, intelligent, and all-around amazing men on the planet. We broke up about two months ago, but still remain very close friends..." she wrote per Us Weekly in the now-deleted Instagram photo.

Within a year of her breakup with Brady, Britt began dating salon owner and singer Jeremy Byrne. The two originally met in July of 2011 when they were set up by a mutual friend, but they parted ways before Britt went on The Bachelor. Jeremy later got engaged to someone else, but they reconnected after Britt broke up with Brady. Interestingly, Brady and Jeremy were friends before Brady went on The Bachelorette. 

Britt and Jeremy announced their engagement in May of 2017, and Britt later revealed on Instagram that he proposed while the two were sitting on their couch at home. 

While planning her wedding, Britt appeared on an episode of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta, which aired in 2018

Jeremy and Britt got married in September of 2017 at a ranch in Vista, California.
