Confession time: I never watched Bachelor In Paradise before its second season nor any other of the Bachelor seasonal spinoffs. I thought they were just poor excuses for the real thing, but I'm here to tell you all that I was wrong. Why? Because not only was the second season of Bachelor In Paradise was the highlight of my week this summer, but it also brought together one of my all-time favorite Bachelor couples: Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert. They're getting hitched on television to celebrate 20 years of The Bachelor and had a beautiful ceremony in California, but that's not where they reside full time. So, where do Tanner and Jade live and do they live together?
This question actually caused a little bit of a stir when brought up as the show was coming to an end last summer. I swear, social media will be the downfall of every reality show secret — just before the finale of Bachelor In Paradise (during which Tanner proposed to Jade), Jade was having a Periscope chat with her fans online, and all was great — until one of the viewers realized that the chat had a geotag on it, and that geotag was located just outside of Kansas City. Well, Jade was supposedly living in Nashville at the time, and it was actually Tanner who lived in Kansas City. Jade quickly hung up the chat, citing Internet issues. It seemed to reveal that Jade was living with, or at least visiting, her not-yet-revealed fiancé.
But, now the show is over, and the two, according to their respective Instagrams, are happily allowed to brag about living under the same roof. They even memorialized Jade's move-in day!
Jade seems to have settled well into Kansas City, which is good, because Tanner and Jade have also just announced via Instagram that they're building a house together. Big steps, you guys!
In honor of building that house together, I've combed through Jade and Tanner's wedding registry for the gifts I would hypothetically be buying if I had been invited to the wedding (I'm still mad that I wasn't, but it's cool, yo).

I mean, does anyone use a tray to serve things anymore? I don’t (and probably wouldn’t), but this would look cute on an end table or something. Perhaps an ottoman?
