I've always dreamt about having kids more so than my wedding day. When it comes to colors, flowers, dresses... no idea. But if you ask me about kids; how many I want, names, genders? I'll have a full list for you!Collection: Wedding
When I was approached with the idea of two Bachelorettes, I was definitely not jumping for joy. It was more like, pouting for hours.
I wear T-shirts and backwards hats and buy my shoes at Payless!
I love when a guy has some sort of talent.
When a woman says the connection is gone, don't tell her how hot she is. A connection is more than someone's appearance.
I'm attracted to men who know what they want and go after it.
Truth is, I have been scared of birds since I was a little girl. I think it's genetic because my mom shares this fear with me.
The very idea of family is something I hold so close to my heart.
I have two great examples of a father. My dad is honestly my hero and sets the bar high for how a man should treat a woman. My stepmother is a caring, genuine and supportive woman. My mom is a spunky strong woman with a huge heart. And my sister is just a pure angel. There is a lot of love in my family.
I have an amazing family dynamic.
I am an honest person, and that includes showing my emotions - good or bad.
My grandparents were best friends in kindergarten and never loved anyone again.
How come no one warned me how hard being the Bachelorette was?
There is something about a guy who has a great relationship with his sisters.
When you decide to come on to 'The Bachelor' or 'The Bachelorette,' you make a conscious decision to share your journey. But what people sometimes forget is our families don't necessarily make that same choice. They aren't the ones who sign up for this experience.
I am human, and I am also honest.
Do I have some regrets? Of course.
Let me tell you, I am not a girl who loves to get flowers. I love the sweet gesture, but those things are high-maintenance!
I have a really crazy cackle laugh, and I think sometimes people don't realize that they're not laughing at my jokes, they're actually just laughing because of my laugh.
I kind of want to start doing some prank calls.
I think a lot of women feel pressure to have kids, especially when you get engaged. And for me, I'm like, I don't want that pressure on myself.
It's always my biggest insecurity - disappointing myself or my partner.
I love being in a dance studio.
I believe men and women should be afforded the same opportunities.
I think when you're looking for a lifetime partnership, intimacy is obviously a part of that.
Sometimes you need to take a moment and take a step back to think about what you are fighting for and if it make sense for your long-term happiness.
Like, I just feel like the way a man speaks to a woman - the way that people speak to each other - it's a respect thing.
I think a few bullets have been dodged in my 'Bachelor' journey.
The Bachelorette' is always entertaining.
I always think about taking 10 random people off the street and trying to pair them. Probably a lot of them are not going to work out, but randomly one might. That's basically what they're doing on 'The Bachelorette.' Here's 25 guys, see if you like one of them and it might work out.
I love going to Broadway shows.
I grew up dancing and singing and I just love everything about that.
If you had asked me when I was little, like, 'Imagine you were on Broadway,' I'd be like, 'Yeah, right.'
My mom would always over decorate the house to the point where she'd switch like soap dispensers and all the towels. We would blow fuses in our house all the time because we have too many lights going on and I just feel like we did Christmas right around the Bristowe residence.
I've loved and been so passionate about dance since I was three years old, and it's really what I wanted to do as a career.
I'm obsessed with my scrunchies!
Yeah, I grew up doing ballet and jazz and tap, but I stopped at the age of 25, and I've never stepped foot in a ballroom.
For me, everybody knows I'm outspoken.
I seem to stand my ground.
I am so not one to share body pictures, not that I have anything against them, it's more just like I've never gotten into that.
I always eat pretty healthy.
Life is about connections, and some people have better chemistry with others. That don't make you bad people.
When women come together, we're unstoppable.
I share a lot of my life with everybody.
