In January 2013, ABC declared that the nice guys “finish first”. Sean LoweHis journey to find love began.
Sean has become a fan favorite over the years Emily Maynard‘s season of The Bachelorette. And while season 17 of The Bachelor had a lot of drama – um, Tierra LiCausi – the Texas native eventually proposed Catherine Giudici during the finals… but not before he had to send out the runner-up Lindsay Yenter packaging.
“I didn’t expect our relationship to come. … You blew me away, you really did,” Sean Lindsay said. “I want to give you my heart, but my heart takes me somewhere else.”
He later proposed to Catherine.
“I miss you every time we have to say goodbye,” Sean said before getting down on one knee. “I don’t want to say goodbye anymore. Katherine, I want to spend the rest of my life telling you I love you.”
Sean and Catherine were married live on ABC on January 26, 2014.
In June 2020, ABC aired a condensed version of Sean’s season in one night as an episode The Bachelor: The Greatest Season — Ever! Continuation of the dating show, which he hosts Chris Harrisonit came after the production of the 16th season The Bachelorette suspended due to the corona virus pandemic.
A day before the special aired, Catherine reflected on her decision to go on the series via Instagram.
“When I was originally cast, I was very flattered, but somewhat grounded by the fact that I would be one of the faces representing people of color,” she wrote. “I knew that one of the reasons why I was probably chosen was because I am Filipino. I considered myself his fiancee because of what I assumed Sean liked. I thought I was just there to check a box, but I ended up getting a lot more. I became present to the process and as he began to notice me for who I really am, I allowed this experience to open up to the possibility of being fully loved and appreciated for all that I am.”
She continued, “I ended up being cross-racial, found Christ (LOVE my testimony!) and married the most amazing man I’ve ever known. I would say hosting this show was one of the best things that ever happened to me. ❤️
(Don’t count on yourself. You are destined to do greater things than just check a box.)”
The The Bachelor: The Greatest Season — Ever! will air Mondays on ABC at 8:00 PM ET for 10 weeks.
