Season 20 of “The Bachelorette” is over, and leading lady Charity Lawson is now engaged to her one true love. Or at least one of her true loves.
Season 20 of The Bachelorette is over, and leading lady Charity Lawson is now engaged to her one true love.
Or at least one of her true loves.
After all, when Monday night’s season finale kicked off, the 27-year-old therapist from Columbus, Georgia had already professed her love for two different men—finalists Dotun Olubeko and Joey Graziadei—and before she could start her happily-ever-after with one of them, she had to break the heart of the other.
And before she could do that, she had to send one boomerang-contestant back where he came from.
As viewers saw during the season’s penultimate episode, Aaron Bryant, who failed to get a rose back in Week 6, had flown to Fiji in hope of getting one more shot with Lawson. When the finale opened, she briefly gave him just that.
“I still see you as a wife,” he told her. “I still see you as a mother of my children.”
But when the first rose ceremony of the night took place, it was clear she didn’t see herself in either of those roles with him. In between giving Graziadei her first rose and Olubeko her second, she gave Bryant the boot.
From there it was time for the final two to meet Lawson’s family (minus her Undercover Brother).
Lawson warned her parents that she’d given her heart to both men, and that they both loved her, too. Most importantly, she had no idea who she was going to choose. But after they saw each of the men fawn over their daughter and swear devotion, they didn’t know who she should choose, either.
