Love is in the air for two Bachelor and Bachelorette alums! Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul will be tying the knot soon, according to UsMagazine.com. The former Bachelorette contestant got another shot at love after being left brokenhearted by Andi Dorfman on the show’s tenth season. The 25-year-old sports manager picked up the pieces and has since been able to glue them back together with Faddoul, who appeared on the season 18 premiere with Juan Pablo Galavis, on a spinoff show, Bachelor in Paradise. A source reveals the pair got engaged during the show’s taping, which filmed in June and is set to air Monday, August 4th.

What are some ways to meet your partner on vacation?

Cupid’s Advice:

For some, they experience hot, steamy summer flings every year. For others, they get the once in a lifetime opportunity of meeting someone while on vacation and it actually turning into a real romance. What are the chances, huh? This does indeed happen and Cupid has a few ways to show you how to meet your [future] partner while on vaca:

1. Explore: First and foremost, go out. A vacation may be about relaxing and time away, but that does not include being cooped up in your hotel room. The possibility of you meeting someone while doing this is slim to none. Devote a few hours to sight seeing . . . you may just meet him/her in the midst of doing so.

2. Socialize: Speak to a few strangers along the way. Make small talk and see what you may have in common with the other vacationers or residents. Just sit back and see where the conversation leads (maybe to your future).

3. Do not expect long-term: Think of having fun and thoroughly enjoying yourself. After all, that is somewhat the point of the trip. Avoid any expectations, such as, finding your soul mate or someone to build a family with. Once you get rid of any related notions, you will be on the right path of believing “if it happens, it happens.”
