Rachel Lindsay Dishes New Details on Her Wedding to Bryan Abasolo (Including the Guest List!)

Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay hasn’t set a date for her upcoming wedding to fiancé Brian Abasolo, but she is making plans. Last week, she revealed that she would be ditching the traditional gown for something much more suited to her own style, and now she’s sharing some of her thoughts on the guest list.

Spilling the details to Us Weekly, the 32-year-old said that she and her bae have definitely considered which Bachelor Nation stars will be on the invite list for the big day. In fact, she’s reserving two full rows of seats for them.

“My new thing is that I think we’re going to have a couple of rows,” Lindsay explained. “A row dedicated to the girls from [The Bachelor] and a front row for my sorority sisters. He’s got the same thing, [a row for] Bachelorette guys, [and a row for] fraternity guys.”

The bride-to-be definitely bonded with a lot of women from her debut season on the franchise with Nick Viall. Several of them, including Danielle Lombard, Alexis Waters, Dominique Alexis, and Whitney Fransway, were at her recent engagement party.

As for the groom’s side, there are plenty of men who competed alongside him for Lindsay’s heart who would surely love to be at the ceremony, including Dean Unglert, Eric Bigger, Adam Gottschalk (who would likely show up with GF Raven Gates), and Peter Kraus. (Okay, maybe *he* wouldn’t be so keen to show up.)

As for who will be standing by her side when she says “I do,” the Dallas native has decided that it’s probably best to stick with family. “I don’t want to offend anyone with bridesmaids, so I think I’m just going with my sisters,” she explained to Us Weekly.

One thing she hasn’t quite decided is whether to share the nuptials with fans of the reality series. “That we don’t know,” she admitted. “We know that we want it to be next year. We haven’t, like, started seeking out if we want to do it on television yet.”

In fact, there’s even a slight chance that she might throw it all up in the air and run off with Abasolo for something more spontaneous. “Honestly, I could elope with Bryan tomorrow,” she told Us Weekly. “It’s so funny because my mom texted me the other day and she goes, ‘Secretly I would love for you to just elope.'”

Are you expecting and searching for a baby name that's classic and steeped in history? If so, look no further because old-timey names are making a major comeback.

By blending vintage elegance with a touch of nostalgia, these names have a unique charm that stands the test of time.

So, here are eight old-timey baby names that surely deserve a spot in today's world.

Scroll to see all the old timey baby names we rarely see anymore!

1. Daphne

Selin Hacıkerimoğlu

Greek in origin and graceful-sounding, Daphne means "laurel tree" or "bay tree." It also has deep roots in ancient legend.

Daphne, the daughter of the river god Peneus, was a nymph in Greek mythology. It's said that she was transformed into a laurel tree, a symbol of honor and victory, to escape the romantic pursuit of Apollo.

2. Asher

Foden Nguyen

Asher, on the other hand, has biblical roots. It's Hebrew and means "fortunate, blessed, happy one."

This gentle yet strong name comes from the Old Testament, where Asher was one of Jacob's 12 sons and the founder of one of the Tribes of Israel.

It has a soothing sound and is perfect for modern parents hoping to blend tradition with a contemporary feel.

3. Violet

casper somia

Violet is another elegant and romantic-sounding name that balances softness with vibrancy. It's derived from the Latin word for purple and was once a vintage favorite.

Now, Violet has surged in popularity again, making it one of the top floral name choices for baby girls.

Fans of period dramas like "Bridgerton" might even recognize this name from Lady Violet Bridgerton, the lead family's matriarch.

4. Jude

Alina Paduchak

Jude may be short, but it's undeniably strong and effortlessly cool. Plus, it carries both biblical history and a bit of star power.

As a Latin diminutive of Judah with Hebrew origins, Jude means "praised." It also feels fresh, despite its ancient roots, thanks to the legendary Beatles song "Hey Jude."

5. Genevieve

Mochi Mochi

Genevieve is a name that's chic, combining sophistication with strength. French in origin and derived from Genovefa or Kenowega, Germanic medieval names, it means "tribe woman."

It's also rich in history, most notably through Saint Genevieve, the patroness of Paris. She used wisdom, bravery, and prayer to protect the city from Attila the Hun.

6. Hugo

Sylo Mkaleh

As a Latinized form of Hugh, the name Hugo means "mind" or "intellect." Similar to Genevieve, it's thought to exude sophistication and is perfect for parents who value learning.

But while Hugo has a sense of refinement, this name still feels approachable, energetic, and stylish.

7. Mabel

Subin Cherian

Mabel is sweet, spunky, and definitely vintage. Derived from Latin and a diminutive of Amabel, it means "lovable," making this name fit for a little girl who radiates warmth and charm.

It was once a favorite pick among parents during the Victorian era, and now, it's rising in popularity again.

8. Ezra

leah hetteberg

Finally, Ezra is a bold name that's strong and fresh. Hebrew in origin, this name means "help" and actually has old biblical roots since Ezra was an important scribe in the Old Testament.

Even with this history, though, Ezra feels extremely contemporary because of its modern spelling and somewhat quirky ring.

How can I watch "The Golden Bachelorette"?

According to ABC, The Golden Bachelorette will air on ABC and be available to stream on Hulu the following day. Historically, the different installments of The Bachelor have aired on Thursdays at 8pm ET.

What is the cast of "The Golden Bachelor" up to now?

It just so happens that our most beloved contestants from The Golden Bachelor, Kathy and Susan, have been working on a podcast titled Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour. They've posted tons of episodes dishing on The Golden Bachelor experience.

The pair definitely showed some real chemistry during the first-ever Golden Bachelor, and the podcast is a true testament to their friendship.

“We can finish each other's sentences,” Susan told PhillyVoice about Kathy. “We're night and day, but yet we're the same in a sense. We just roll off each other, and it's so easy.”

As far as the winners of The Golden Bachelor, Gerry and Theresa, things worked out for a bit, but they mutually decided to end their marriage in April 2024. Many speculated that they split because they had settled down in different places of the country and found it hard to relocate for love.

“We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at homes after home,” Theresa said during an interview on Good Morning America, “but we never got to the point where we made that decision.”

How successful was "The Golden Bachelor"?

According to Variety, the first installment of The Golden Bachelor reached about 43.4 million viewers, making it ABC’s most-watched unscripted premiere on Hulu. The finale amassed 6.1 million viewers, deeming it the biggest episode in Bachelor history in nearly 3 years.

We had so much fun watching the very first installment of The Golden Bachelor, that we just can’t wait to see the roles reversed for The Golden Bachelorette. The hype is very real!

The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami

The Dream Hotel starts off with oppressed women being held against their will and ends with a revolutionary act that dismantles the very system meant to keep them locked away. Readers will meet Sara, the main protagonist, and other women who have been detained by the Risk Assessment Administration for being possible "threats" to society. In her case, she's charged with the fact she might put her husband's life in danger.

As readers can surmise, the rules aren't consistent at the center they're being held and their "sentences" stretch out to the point it's impossible for them to ever leave. But the RAA makes a miscalculation when they bring a new face to the center. Soon, the women they held back will expose them and others.

We've seen many iterations of Glen Powell over the last six years. Set It Up brought out Goofy Glen, while he gave us plenty of charm in Top Gun: Maverick and made us swoon in Anyone But You. But Twisters has given the people what we really needed: Country Glen. Which, if I'm honest, feels like his truest self (he is from Texas, after all). The Twisters press tour has had me giggling and kicking my feet (so did Glen giving Lily James his jacket) — and if you're still mad they cut his kiss with Daisy Edgar-Jones from the end of the movie, then keep scrolling for Glen's best behind-the-scenes moments.

Here are 8 moments Glen Powell got even hotter than he already was.

1. When He Tried To Prove He Was A Good Kisser

@filmxcx “I dont give a rip” bitchh hes funny i cant #twisters#twistersmovie#glenpowell#daisyedgarjones#movie#fyppppppppppppppppppppppp#hotones#interviews♬ original sound - filmxcx

During his Hot Ones Vs. with Twisters costar Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen really wanted to prove he was a good kisser. Don't worry Glen. I absolutely believe you.

2. When He Adopted Brisket

Glen Powell's dog Brisket has basically become the internet's dog at this point, and it's the greatest thing that could have happened.

3. Glen Powell Admitted He "Really Wants" Kids

@cbsmornings Glen Powell says that he’s not chasing love — but he told Gayle King that if love “comes and hits [him] in the face,” then he’s ready for it. #glenpowell#hitman#topgun♬ original sound - CBS Mornings

If you ask me, Glen's time with his niece and nephew proves he'll be a great dad. I'm swooning!

4. When He Shotgunned Daisy Edgar-Jones' Beer

@andimitchellll Lord help me #glenpowell♬ original sound - ANDI

I don't know why this is so hot, but it is. Is it the gentlemanly gesture of finishing Daisy's beer for her? Is it the backwards hat? Let me just rewatch the video for research.

5. When He Reminded Us Of His Roots

Glen Powell has been AROUND y'all, and his acting career goes all the way back to Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, where he made an appearance opposite Daryl Sabara. He says filming the scene was "one of the best days of my whole life."

6. Glen Powell Went All In On Brat Summer

@anthonyramosofficial Viral 🌪️ @twistersmovie #GlenPowell#DaisyEdgarJones♬ original sound - Anthony Ramos

Brat summer is about one thing, and one thing only: having a wild good time. And Glen looks like he's having a great time hopping on the TikTok dance trend.

7. He Conducted Red Carpet Karaoke

@username28565467 GLEN #unwritten#glenpowell#anyonebutyou♬ original sound - sammy

The most iconic part of Anyone But You features Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney singing "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. Not only is Glen smiling while fans sing the song, he's dancing, conducting, and singing himself. Cute!

8. When He Revealed His Parents' Roles In His Movies

@fallontonight Glen Powell calls his parents nepo-mommy and nepo-daddy now that they’ve made cameos in all his movies 🤣 #FallonTonight#GlenPowell#SydneySweeney#AnyoneButYou♬ original sound - FallonTonight

Glen Powell is really just a family guy at heart, and he LOVES his parents.
