Former reality television star Cassie Randolph has officially tied the knot with her long-term partner, musician Brighton Reinhardt. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony held in Costa Rica over the weekend, surrounded by close friends and family.
A Personal and Simple Celebration
The wedding took place at a luxury villa in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, a venue special to the couple. Seventy guests, comprising their nearest and dearest, witnessed the 30-year-old Randolph and 28-year-old Reinhardt become husband and wife. In a deeply personal touch, the ceremony was officiated by their brothers—Landon Randolph and Cole Reinhardt.
The newlyweds later told People magazine that they intentionally planned a wedding that felt "like us." Reinhardt emphasised their desire for a classic and simple day. "Nothing over-the-top, nothing distracting or taking away from the actual moment," he explained. "We wanted it to feel personal and full of memories we'll cherish forever."
The couple wrote their own personal vows for the ceremony. During the reception, their first dance was followed by a poignant musical performance from the groom, who sang a song he had written for his bride titled Wherever We Are.
A Decade-Long Journey to the Altar
The love story between Randolph and Reinhardt is one of friendship turning to romance. They first met in 2015, but their relationship remained platonic for years. Their friendship blossomed into romance in 2020, and after four years of dating, Reinhardt proposed in November 2024.
The proposal took place at one of Randolph's favourite spots, Crystal Cove beach on the Newport Coast in Southern California. Reinhardt surprised her during what she believed was a pre-dinner walk with her family. After she said yes, they celebrated the engagement with her family over dinner.
The couple had been engaged for approximately one year before their Costa Rican wedding. They chose The Point Villa in Tamarindo as their venue, having previously stayed there during a family holiday with Reinhardt's family several years earlier.
From Bachelor Fame to a New Chapter
Cassie Randolph rose to public prominence as the winner of the 23rd season of The Bachelor in 2019, where she received the final rose from Colton Underwood. She and Underwood dated for nearly two years before a high-profile split in May 2020. The breakup led to Randolph filing a restraining order against Underwood, alleging stalking and harassment, which was dropped two months later.
Underwood later came out as gay in April 2021 and publicly apologised to Randolph for his past actions. He has since moved on, marrying husband Jordan C. Brown and welcoming a child last year.
For Randolph and Reinhardt, their Costa Rican wedding marks the joyful beginning of their next chapter together, built on a solid decade-long foundation of friendship and love.
