“It was so random because we did this appearance and Montell Jordan was there, and he’s like the coolest guy,” Luyendyk told formerBacheloretteRachel Lindsay on theBachelor Happy Hourpodcast.
To that, the singer-songwriter revealed that he was an “ordained minister” and offered to “marry” the couple.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll go with you!'” said Luyendyk. “So him and his wife Kristin jumped in the car and then they came with us to The Little White Chapel.”
