I am also assuming filming was going on as well though. It's quite possible they ask them to be quiet so it leaves some mystery and intrigue for viewers to tune in in October.

Looks like it was quite the engagement party though, looked like a mini wedding!

Looks like it could be a mini wedding. Lauren in a white dress and cup cakes, like Ben told J.K. They would have, for a cake. LOL?

I feel like for Des and Chris at least, but probably all the other marrieds too that I didn't follow as closely, the "engagement party" is when it became real, for real - sealed the deal. After that, wedding planning full force!

I think, outside of the actual wedding, I'm most excited for engagement pictures! I'm sure they will be beautiful!

As festive as this party was, I can't wait to see how they do a wedding!

I'm thinking if they do a tv wedding, it won't feel as intimate as this gathering was with close friends and family. As close as they are to Bachelor nation, I would imagine it will have a different vibe to have all the alums, et.al. at the wedding than what they seem they were trying to do here.

^ Did any of Ben's family and friends attend other than his parents?? From all the snaps and IG pics I've seen, it looks like it was all Lauren's family and friends.

It seemed like it was just Lauren's family and friends but the 4th of July in Warsaw seemed to have a lot of Ben's family and friends on attendance.

The only one for sure from Ben's side is Banks's owner (the cute puppy), he's Ben's bestfriend's father

yay finally an engagement party!

I bet Ben had more people there than we realize, though obviously it was Portland based and hosted by Lauren's side, so just easier for lots of Lauren's people to attend. It seems like everyone has been pretty hush, hush about it! I bet the show filmed and asked everyone not to say much of anything on social media for the sake of the show. If so, thanks Megan for going rogue so we at least got a pic of the couple!! laugh out loud

Thanks AmoreBella! What a lovely interview with Lauren. She continues to impress me more and more as I get to "know" her better. Absolutely a delightful woman. She and Ben are so well suited for each other. Two very kind and thoughtful people. I think they are truly meant to be.
I am going to enjoy watching their show. bestbud!
