Bachelor Star Colton Underwood Finds True Love – Marries Jordan C. Brown in Dreamy Napa Valley Wedding!
Colton Underwood got married!
The Bachelor alum and Coming Out Colton star married Jordan C. Brown in a romantic wedding of 200 guests on Saturday at the Carneros Resort and Spa in Napa Valley.
Ashley Smith Events planned the three-day event, which began with a family dinner and welcome party on Friday night. On Saturday morning, the wedding activities began.
“On the day of our wedding, we’re having a pool party with a disco theme,” Underwood told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview before the wedding. “It’s going to be a fun wedding, “I’ll say that!”, he said.
For their wedding, the couple wore clothes made just for them by Tom Ford. As a nod to the natural setting of their wedding, Underwood chose a deep green dress, and his husband, a political planner, chose a blue dress.

Brown said, “We wanted trees and sunshine.” “We really wanted to get married outside.”
As guests walked to the ceremony, where a choir and orchestra played, they were greeted by a beautiful photo show that the couple had put together.
“One thing that’s really important to both of us is that we made this, which we call ‘our loving walk,'” says Underwood, who was on The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Bachelor before he came out as gay in a 2021 interview on Good Morning America.
“It was inspired by a coffee table book called Loving that was given to me after I came out as gay. It has pictures of guys in love from all over history. We blew them up, put them on canvases, and put them all over the lodge,” he says. “Next to them will be love notes from gay people from the 18th and 19th centuries that were illegal or that they had to send secretly.
Brown says, “It’s very cool. It’s a way to honor the people who made it possible for same-sex couples to get married.
The couple walked down the aisle hand in hand, swapped personal vows and rings, and then went to the reception to celebrate with friends and family.
Underwood says, “We wanted to break some of the traditional rules about what a ceremony and a wedding look like.” “And we know that for a lot of people who will be there all weekend, including our families and some of our friends, this will be their first gay wedding. We want to make it a big deal.”
As a fun surprise, the couple set up for the artistic swimming team from Stanford University to perform in the pool as everyone left the wedding. Brown said, “We wanted to keep the energy going.” “I like to bring people together by having them over. It’s our wedding, but we’re also having a three-day party for our close friends and family.”
Salads, veggies, steak, fish, and pasta were served family-style at the reception. “And lots of spicy margaritas,” says Brown of the couple’s signature 21 Seeds Tequila drinks, which included two drinks with cucumber and jalapeno for the couple’s dogs Scout and Zooka.
After the emotional speeches, the newlyweds cut into small wedding cakes and gave their guests Privé Revaux sunglasses. Other desserts included “the best chocolate chip cookie you’ve ever had,” according to Brown, and mini lemon meringue pies.
“The Good Ones” by Gabby Barrett was the first song they danced to together. “We love it,” Underwood says. “It’s just one of those songs that both remind us of each other and is special to us.”

Brown made it easy for Underwood to fall in love with her. “I’ve never been sure of something so much before. He is the best friend to everyone in his life and has the biggest heart. He goes out of his way to help his family and friends. That says volumes. One of the first things I noticed about him was that.”
In April 2021, they met at a party in Los Angeles. In February 2022, they got proposed in Big Sur, California. “The way it grew was very natural and organic,” Underwood says of their friendship. Brown adds, “We just both had a gut feeling.”
Now that the happy milestone is here, Underwood says he feels lucky to spend every day with his husband.
Underwood says, “I love the family we’ve made so far.” “With our two dogs, our house, and this wedding, we’ve really put together a life that fits and feels right.
