Clare Crawley Ties the Knot Legally with Ryan Dawkins
Clare Crawley, known for her time on “The Bachelorette,” has officially tied the knot with Ryan Dawkins. The couple recently celebrated a significant milestone in their relationship by obtaining their marriage license, almost a year following their intimate wedding ceremony.
Last year, Crawley and Dawkins got married during a cozy ceremony held in Sacramento, California. However, due to various circumstances, they had not filed the necessary paperwork to formalize their union legally.
On Instagram, Crawley shared the emotional background surrounding their wedding plans. She mentioned how crucial it was for her mother, who is battling late-stage dementia, to be present on their special day. Unfortunately, shortly before the wedding, her mother’s health took a turn for the worse. Without hesitation, the couple expedited their plans to ensure her mother could witness the ceremony. Crawley expressed her gratitude, stating, “It was truly perfect in every way and my beautiful mother was able to see us on our wedding day.”
The Journey into Parenthood
Following their wedding, life took an exciting turn for Crawley and Dawkins as they welcomed their daughter, Rowen, through surrogacy. Crawley reflected on this period, stating, “Soon after that, we found out we were having our miracle Rowen and closing on our dream house all within the next few months, and life got crazy!” She shared her prayers during this time for her mother to witness her become a mother herself, noting that it felt like a “miracle” when her mother met Rowen.
The couple found themselves enveloped in the joys and challenges of parenthood, leading to a realization months later that they had never obtained their marriage license. Crawley humorously remarked on this oversight, noting, “We decided since the first ceremony was so sentimental and perfect, that we would just have a blast getting our actual marriage license and make it the most fun love-filled day ever!”
Vegas Vows
In a playful twist to formalize their marriage, the couple decided to remarry in Las Vegas. Crawley joyfully shared that they exchanged vows at the Little White Chapel, complete with an Elvis Presley officiant. The experience was filled with laughter and celebration, and Crawley expressed her excitement, declaring, “your girl is OFICIALLY Mrs. Dawkins!”
Clare Crawley and Ryan Dawkins have had a whirlwind relationship, having met in 2021, gotten engaged in October 2022, and now fully married as of 2023. Their journey illustrates not only the excitement of love but also the enduring bonds of family and the significance of cherishing precious moments together.
