After Brad Womack proposed to Emily Maynard at the end of The Bachelor season 15, there was a distinctly different tone to this engagement than most that happen on the show. Even though they claimed to be happy, engaged and in love, the couple's After the Final Rose ceremony was decidedly more somber as Emily recounted how difficult it was to watch Brad kiss other women, and how she was unsure how their engagement would play out, especially given her daughter.
After that -- and I can really only speak for myself here -- it seemed particularly foolish to think or expect or really even dare to hope that Brad and Emily's engagement would lead to a wedding. It is one of The Bachelor's consistent ironies that it is a special couple indeed who actually makes it down the aisle. But it's an even more special couple who, despite all show's inherent obstacles and the breakup warning signs, can still surprise us with our own sense of sadness when they officially break it off.
