Zach Shallcross & Kaity Biggar Cancel Their Wedding Plans

Former Bachelor Zach Shallcross recently addressed speculation about why he and his fiancée, Kaity Biggar, opted out of their original wedding contract.

Speaking on the Almost Famous podcast, Zach clarified that the decision wasn’t due to any issues in their relationship but rather a reconsideration of how they wanted to celebrate their big day.

“We had been planning or talking about wanting to plan our wedding, figure out a date, figure out a venue, what do we like, what we don’t like,” he said in the recent episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast.

“Credit to our wedding planner, she took it and started to run with it and started just booking us at all these places,” he continued. “And we’re like, ‘Oh, wow, this is happening really quick.’”

Zach explained that while they had made progress in planning, they realized the initial arrangement wasn’t aligning with their vision for their wedding. They decided to pivot away from that contract and are now open to more personalized options, including the possibility of eloping.

Despite the change, Zach emphasized that he and Kaity are still very much in love and committed to building a future together. This shift in plans is simply a reflection of their desire to make their wedding day truly special and authentic to their relationship.

When their planner informed them that achieving their ideal venue would require going significantly over budget. With long-term priorities in mind, including purchasing a home together, the couple chose to reevaluate their plans.

“We pondered on it for a week and we’re like, ‘[It] does not feel good to just go so into this venue when we’ve already established what our priorities are,’ which is buying a house and not a down payment for one day,” Zach said. “So we backed out of the contract. Not saying we’re done with wedding planning. We’ve actually gone further in other areas, but we just couldn’t do that. I don’t know, like it’s so crazy nowadays.”

The couple is now considering eloping as an alternative to a traditional wedding ceremony.

“We’re planning to get eloped very soon, like very soon, and then we’ll figure out like celebration and all that, like the glitz and the glamour,” he shared. “It’s not a matter of when, it’s like the other stuff and like wanting to have all the family from all over come for it.”
