Charity Lawson celebrated her upcoming wedding to Dotun Olubeko with a Bahamas getaway, where some of her fellow The Bachelor alums joined her for a weekend inspired by the show that brought them together.

Charity, 30, and Dotun met and got engaged on Season 20 of The Bachelorette, which aired in June 2023 on ABC.

The New York-based couple continued to fall in love and deepen their relationship in the real world, and they've been in the process of planning their wedding for a while now.
One of Charity's wedding events was a big party over Halloween weekend with a particularly fitting theme: "The Bachelorette's bachelorette."

The ladies spent the weekend at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, an oceanfront resort in Nassau, People reported.
Charity celebrated with Kat Izzo, Gabi Elnicki, Jess Girod, Mercedes Northup and Kylee Russell, along with other close friends and family members, including her sister Mia and future sister-in-law Teju.
"It's crazy when, as a little girl, you think you can envision what these moments look like, but you can't because they will always surprise you in the best ways," Charity told the magazine.
The venue was decked out with roses, red balloons, hearts and candles, along with a cardboard cutout of Dotun.
A custom lace sign and a bar sign reading "Will you accept this cocktail?" brought more Bachelorette touches to the party, while some of the bridal attire read "Mrs. Olubeko."

Charity said having all of those women in one room was "a moment in time I want to stand still in."
The group swam with pigs and sea turtles, spent a day on a boat, took a cooking class, went dancing, shared meals together, and had an impromptu karaoke session. They also stayed in for games and stories on the first night of the trip.
Kat pointed out that the group had returned to the same location where Zach Shallcross' Season 27 of The Bachelor was filmed nearly three years earlier, almost to the exact date.

And Gabi also noted that "many tears were shed," adding, "She's literally the cutest crier I've ever seen."
Charity said the celebration made her "that much more excited" to get married, adding, "To celebrate these moments with these girls will always be the best memory."
Back in May, Charity shared wedding-planning details on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast and how she wanted to book a three-week honeymoon in Tanzania.
That same month, Charity and Dotun celebrated the three-year anniversary of their engagement.
Charity revealed in February 2026 that her bridal party is going to be reserved for family only.

She also teased three outfit changes for her wedding: a "timeless and traditional" dress for the ceremony, a "flirty, festive and high-glam" look for the reception, and a cultural outfit change that will make Dotun's Nigerian family proud.
In January 2026, Charity confirmed she and Dotun had set their wedding date, although she said they wouldn't be publicly revealing it.
Charity and Dotun said they got the ball rolling on wedding planning in April 2025 after admittedly putting the process "on pause" in 2024 because they felt overwhelmed.

Charity explained that she and Dotun wanted to take their time with the wedding because they didn't want to get stressed out.
In addition to her journeys on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Charity also competed on Dancing with the Stars' 32nd season and made the finals.
