They just got engaged on The Bachelorette finale, bringing in big ratings for ABC. So … will Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez tie the knot on TV next?
On Live with Regis and Kelly today, they say they haven’t ruled it out. “We’ve talked about it a little bit,” Ali said of a TV special. “Definitely a possibility.”
“[But] not because we want to be on TV again.”
So for the money then. Hey, it’s honest! Ali said a TV wedding could “be practical for our marriage, our life, our relationship. Weddings are expensive and [Roberto] has a huge family. When I met his mom, she said 700 people will be at it!”
Kelly Ripa concurred: “Let ABC pay for it!”
Should Alberto marry on a Bachelorette special?
“We figure we are in love,” Ali Fedotowsky said, further explaining her reasoning. “We can invest that [wedding fund] money and invest our whole lives.”
Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney were the most recent (and only the second ever) couple from the franchise to get hitched on TV, marrying in March.
As for Bachelorette runner-up Chris Lambton, who she sent packing before their final date,” Ali said, “I’m sort of glad I went through the motions, but at the end with Chris, I had to let him go … I just had to be with Roberto … I think he’ll be okay.”
Roberto Martinez isn’t sure: “I don’t think so. He took it really bad.”
TV wedding or not, will Ali and Roberto last?
