'Bachelor' Jason Mesnick Marries Molly Malaney

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.

Mesnick stirred up controversy at the end of his 'Bachelor' run -- he initially selected another woman, Melissa Rycroft, as the winner. Mesnick proposed to Rycroft on national television during the season finale, but in a wrap-up episode, Mesnick rescinded the proposal and instead chose the runner-up, Malaney.

Rycroft and her post-'Bachelor' beau Tye Strickland were married in December.

Close to 300 guests witnessed Mesnick, 33, and Malaney, 25, exchange vows in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The ceremony will be televised for the ABC special 'The Bachelor: Jason and Molly's Wedding'. Malaney, wearing a $45,000 strapless Monique Lhuillier gown, walked down the aisle to "Over the Rainbow," sung by 'American Idol' star Jason Castro.

Mesnick proposed lat October, while the couple vacationed in New Zealand. After a tropical honeymoon, the pair will return to Seattle and the home they've shared since September.

This was the WORST Bachelor show I have ever seen. I hope Molly is happy being married to someone who is wimpy and fake.

People, people, people!!! The Bachelor Show is FAKE, and so is The Bachelorette Show!! The producers twist and manipulate all the footage so we only see what they want us to see!! And the people IN the shows are being PAID!!! Get real! Those girls were paid for their tears, they didn't care!! Just like the current Bachelor Jake, he isn't going to choose either one of the remaining girls! He's going to choose Ali, the one who left the show! Hold on to your hats! :)

Gosh, there are so many negative people that post on here. Why can't people just be happy for one another when something good happens to them. So what if he changed his mind. He's not supposed to follow his heart? My goodness, there are alot of angry sad people in this world. Peace be with you!

Linda, if this show is fake and you don't like it..why do you watch?

Jason and Molly. What a couple of money grubbing, attention-starved network ho's. What next for them? Survivor? Amazing Race? Rent-A-Date? Melissa Rycroft dodged a major bullet. She's the real winner.

Jake is a sissy boy whimp. He'll most likely pick Chris.

To the people that think that Jason should have been miserable in his love life by marrying that spoiled Melissa...too bad. All's fair in love and war. That's an old time saying. Too many people marry just for the sake of it and end up unhappy and make the spouse unhappy too. At least he had the guts that most don't. Actually, I think that Jason found out something about Melissa that he didn't like and is being kind not to say what. There are many people that break off engagements. Just because it was televised...so what. After all, Melissa made out on the deal anyway -- from being on Dancing w/ the Stars and to now being a Network Correspondence. Sounds like she really didn't want to be a "little housewife" anyway. People who get pissed over other's choices, have NO life themselves. GET ONE!

Why are Jason and Molly after money any more than Melissa? They were all on TV and Melissa was on Dancing with the Stars? Why is that money grubbing for one but not for another. It is the way to make a living.

They won't last a year if that..
