He caused outrage when he refused to propose to Nikki Ferrell after choosing her on the final episode of ABC's The Bachelor.

But while he doesn't seem interested in a wedding of his own, Juan Pablo Galvais is happy to celebrate friends' nuptials and enjoyed a trip to the Dominican Republic with Nikki to celebrate the big day of some pals.

Nikki shared a picture of them both on Instagram and wrote: 'Wedding fun in the Dominican Republic with @juanpagalavis and this gorgeous view (sic).'

The picture shows Juan Pablo dressed in a dapper suit, looking every inch the perfect groom, as he smiles for the camera.

He posed with his arm around blonde Nikki, who looks beautiful in a red dress.

However, the reality TV contestant does appear to look quite skinny in the dress, with perhaps the excitement of the hectic past few weeks catching up to her.

The couple's wedding fun came soon after Juan Pablo revealed he would never take part in the show again.

Writing in his People blog, he said: 'I will always be thankful for the opportunity, but if you asked me to do it again, I would definitely say, "HELLLLL NOOOOO" jejejejeje (sic).'

No other Bachelor in the history of the show has been as vilified as the single dad but in his blog he insists people just can't cope with his honesty.

He said: 'When I was announced as The Bachelor, Chris Harrison said, "In the history of this show, no guy has made a greater impact with less screen time." Have you thought about why people apparently liked me at the time? Why I didn't have that much screen time?

'Well, so you guys understand a little bit more, it is because of my honesty and that I don't like drama at all – something that viewers appreciated from the little they saw of me on The Bachelorette.

'I believe my direct approach and honesty unfortunately ended up hurting some of the women and that was never my intention.

'I have always cared deeply about the women and have stayed true to myself and wanted to be respectful of them and not waste their time. I believe I have a different style than others who have been on this show.'

Juan Pablo recently released a touching YouTube video dedicated to the winner that he titled Adventures In Loving You, an odd choice considering he would not tell the beauty he loved her while on the show.
