Last night, March 24, 2025, The Bachelor Season 29 wrapped up with day trader Grant Ellis popping the question to Juliana Pasquarosa in a nail-biting finale that aired on ABC. After weeks of indecision that had host Jesse Palmer calling him the “most torn Bachelor ever,” Grant got down on one knee in the Dominican Republic, and Juliana said yes.
As of today, March 25, 2025, it’s not just the ring that’s trending—it’s the marriage vibes Grant and Juliana are stirring up online, from “no rush” nuptials to rethinking what tying the knot even means in 2025.
Grant’s journey ended with Juliana over runner-up Litia Garr, a choice that capped a rollercoaster of “I love yous” to both women during Fantasy Suites.
“I just want you to know I love you, and you’ll make me the luckiest girl in the world if I get to spend my life with you,”
— Juliana to Grant
Grant sealed it with:
“I see a forever love with you,”
handing over a three-diamond ring symbolizing their bond.
The live “After the Final Rose” special showed the couple grinning ear-to-ear, but what’s got folks talking isn’t the proposal—it’s what they’re saying about marriage now.
Grant and Juliana dropped a bombshell to People post-finale: they’re engaged, but not racing to the chapel.
“Marriage is the ultimate goal, but there’s no rush,”
— Juliana
“I’m excited for the little things—dinners, dancing in the kitchen, seeing our families,”
— Grant added
They’re now living together in L.A. with their dogs, focusing on building a life before the vows. That decision has sparked a wave of chatter about modern marriage timelines.
Grant’s flip-flopping—he told Litia “I love you” just days before choosing Juliana—has fans analyzing what marriage really looks like in 2025.
“For me to not know what I’m going to do, I’m feeling overwhelmed,”
— Grant in a finale clip
Juliana’s “no rush” stance echoes other Bachelor alums like Kaity Biggar and Zach Shallcross, who are planning a 2025 courthouse wedding but taking their time.
As the finale streams on Hulu, the marriage talk is louder than the proposal itself.
Grant’s indecision and Juliana’s “no rush” message are trending because they’re real—messy, modern, and rewriting the Bachelor script.
Whether or not they make it to the altar, they’ve sparked a conversation:
In 2025, is marriage about the ring—or the life you craft around it?
