Move over, Trista and Ryan Sutter – another couple from the ‘Bachelor’ franchise has made it to the altar. Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney exchanged vows on Saturday, reports PEOPLE. Former ‘Bachelorette’ Trista and her husband were in attendance, along with Jillian Harris, one of the women who competed for Mesnick’s affections on the show.

Harris attended the ceremony with her fiance Ed Swiderski, whom she selected when she starred on ‘The Bachelorette’ last year. “We’re really excited for them,” she said of Mesnick. “They are very ‘normal’ in one sense, but on the other hand both of us have been through things in terms of the tabloids and drama after our shows were over.”

“We’re so sympathetic to each other’s relationships that we’re huge supporters of each other,” Harris added.

What did Molly Malaney potentially give up to be with fiance Jason Mesnick? A starring role in the next installment of The Bachelorette! Also considered: Melissa Rycroft.

In this week’s cover story, Mesnick reveals to Us that show producers — a week after his ill-fated proposal to Rycroft — “kept asking me if I thought Molly would make a good Bachelorette.”

But ultimately, the Bachelor “realized I was not willing to let Molly go on TV and have 25 guys fight over her.”

What about Rycroft? “Melissa is a great girl, but there wasn’t any chemistry,” he admits. “So I broke up with her after Christmas, about a month after we wrapped.”

Mesnick insists to Us that when the pair taped the After the Final Rose special in January — in which he dumped a visibly shocked Rycroft and begged Malaney to take him back — they had already split in private, despite appearances to the contrary.

One key party still in the dark? Would-be Bachelorette Malaney, whom Mesnick was contractually prohibited from contacting until The Bachelor had completely aired. “And at that point, she already would have started filming The Bachelorette!” Mesnick says of his logistical dilemma.

He admits that the controversial After the Final Rose taping (complete with tears and a broken engagment) wasn’t the ideal venue to rekindle things with Malaney and win her back. “Obviously, I didn’t want it all on TV, but I had to take the chance if it meant getting her back. I’d rather have picked up the phone, trust me!”

Recently engaged to Malaney, the groom-to-be insists that he and Rycroft “were still on good terms after we taped After the Final Rose. Producers asked her to be the next Bachelorette, so we talked about that for weeks. We don’t talk anymore, but I wish her nothing but the best . . . I never intended to humiliate her.”

Jason Mesnick, who infamously reversed his decision after the finale of “The Bachelor” to choose Molly Malaney instead of original choice Melissa Rycroft, has popped the question once again, asking Malaney to marry him in New Zealand.

Last fall, as cameras rolled there, Mesnick sent Malaney home on the final episode of “The Bachelor,” choosing Rycroft instead. Jason then memorably announced during the “After the Final Rose” special that he had made a mistake, dumped Rycroft on national television, and embarked on a romance with Malaney.

Now the couple, who have been maintaining a long-distance relationship (he lives in Seattle, she lives in Milwaukee) have returned to the site of Jason’s ill-fated first choice so “Jason can do what he should have done in the last time he was here, and ask Molly to marry him,” says a source close to the couple.

Tuesday night, as part of a romantic weeklong trip in New Zealand, he did just that, proposing to Malaney, who giddily accepted.

Bachelor Jason Mesnick has quit his day job to become a matchmaker for single parents! Jason, who worked in the insurance end of estate planning, recently launched jasonsplace.com as a dating and information forum for single parents looking to mingle, bankrolling much of the project himself. “Jason hopes to become bigger than online dating sites like match.com,” his pal reveals about the father to 4-year-old Ty. “He’s a single parent and knows how hard it is to date, so that’s why he’s doing this web site.”
