You Sitting Down? Bachelor Pauses Wedding Plans

He's an officer, a gentleman and, technically, still on the market. ABC's most recent Bachelor, Lt. Andy Baldwin, and chosen one Tessa Horst have put the brakes on their engagement, if only because the military man might be on the move. "We are very much in love and committed to our relationship," the couple says in a statement. "[But] with the possibility of reassignment to a new location, we decided it was not the ideal time for Tessa to uproot herself and move out [to Hawaii] right now. Our relationship continues to deepen, and we're very hopeful about our future together."

Speaking of halted altar runs, House costars Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer have ended their own engagement. (Yes, the InStyle Weddings curse continues. It's frightening, really.) See the TV Guide News Report for more.

Putting plans on hold in the military is not that unusual. Friends who were military brats tell me the tales of many moves during their school years. For Andy and Tessa to wait until he gets put somewhere for awhile makes sense. So, I wouldn't call their engagement "halted" so much as "postponed due to circumstances beyond their control." It happens.

What I don't understand is why they don't just get married and she follow him to wherever he gets stationed next. Isn't that what military wives do? I guess this is another situation where they just don't love each other enough. That's disappointing. I really had high hopes for these two.

Ohhh what a surprise. You had to have known that this sorta thing was going to happen.

pattijen2222, seems to me more like they're just trying to avoid two big moves. Why should she deal with the hassle and expense of a move to a faraway place when it's just going to happen again in the near future? Looks to me more practical than anything else. I postponed a wedding for a somewhat similar reason myself, didn't mean I loved the guy any less...

No, that's NOT "what military wives do." The odds are about 50-50 that he'll be deployed to an active duty base where there's no family/spousal housing--Iraq, for example. If he's been told he's up for reassignment, there's no point in her moving anywhere until he's actually reassigned, and they know what the housing situation is and how long his tour of duty will be.

But even if they are waiting til he gets a more stable assignment, why call of the engagement? Can't they still be engaged while they wait? ">
