Saving her final rose. The Bachelor‘s Madison Prewett was candid about remaining a virgin until marriage before she exchanged vows with Grant Michael Troutt.

Bachelor Nation fans met the Alabama native during Peter Weber‘s season in early 2020, and her strong faith quickly became part of her story line. She delved more into making the “commitment to myself” during a dinner date with the Bachelorette alum, explaining that she didn’t “expect” him to have made the same decision.

While Weber acknowledged that he would “always respect” her choices, he also noted that he couldn’t “lie” about his own journey. In turn, she reminded her now-ex that “actions speak louder than words.”

Prewett previously discussed the situation with her mother during her hometown date. “I haven’t fully talked to him yet about I guess, like, how I view intimacy and how I feel,” she revealed at the time. “That is something that I have saved for marriage and something I want to save my marriage. I don’t know how he is going to respond to that, and so, yeah.”

When she finally did have her conversation with Weber, the former Miss Alabama Teen USA said her ideal husband would be someone who “embodies the same qualities and characteristics” as her father. “Faith is more than passed down into me, it’s my whole life and who I am,” she added. “In a marriage, I want someone who has that relationship with the Lord … I want to know if we’re able to be on the same page that way and grow with each other in that way.”

Eventually, Prewett sent herself home after learning that the then-Bachelor had been “intimate” with another finalist. The pair briefly reconciled after Weber’s whirlwind engagement to Hannah Ann Sluss, but they called it quits for good in March 2020.
