Bachelor in Paradise alum Hannah Godwin has celebrated her bachelorette party in Las Vegas ahead of her Summer 2023 nuptials with fiance Dylan Barbour.

"I can't believe I'm a bride walking around Vegas right now, like [at a] casino," Hannah, 28, said in a Friday, May 12, video via Instagram Stories of her evening the night before, according to Us Weekly. "I don't know who I am. It's too much attention!"

Hannah partied with her friends -- including her mother and best friend Dina, her maid of honor -- at the Venetian Hotel, where they enjoyed fancy dinners, poolside cocktails and glamorous nights out in Sin City.
Barbies resembling Hannah and Dylan were strewn about the girls' hotel suite, and certain outfits were Barbie-inspired.

"It's happening!!!!!" Hannah captioned a TikTok video on Friday. "@DylanBarbour buckle up."
In one video, the bride-to-be donned a white mini dress with a matching veil while most of her besties wore black. One friend, however, wore a white tube top, which was a noticeable mismatch from the other girls.
"I approved everyone back off," Hannah told a troll in a TikTok comment after a social media user criticized the called out the contrasting outfit.
Hannah jokingly told Dylan in the comments to "cancel" her pal Dena Sukar, who wrote, "I'm just wearing what you gave me."
The bachelorette bash continued on Friday with a "pool day," according to Hannah.

For the "stunning" occasion, Hannah rocked a white bikini. She later changed into a gold, off-the-shoulder dress for the night.
"I'm getting married," Hannah exclaimed from the group's limo in a subsequent video on Instagram Stories.
Hannah posted additional photos on her Instagram account of herself posing under white balloons and gambling in a casino.
"Bridal Barbie is here to STAY!!!" Hannah captioned one slideshow of pictures.

Hannah wore a variety of mini dresses throughout the weekend featuring corsets, sparkles and sunglasses.
Hannah and Dylan, who got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season in June 2019, previously revealed they'll be tying the knot at a destination wedding in August of this year, but they have yet to share where exactly they're going to get married.
"We might end up sharing it. I don't want to make it this big, weird secretive thing. I think it's just more for us. I kind of like that, for once, we're not just sharing everything, especially with social media now, I just share everything," Hannah explained to Caelynn Miller-Keyes, Dean Unglert, and Jared Haibon in late March on the "Help! We Suck at Being Newlyweds" podcast.
The model and social-media influencer added, "I mean, we got engaged on television! So this is kind of for us, and it's kind of fun. Who knows, it might just come out one day."
Hannah did share, however, that she invited 150 guests to the wedding and it will take place in Europe or Mexico.

As far as which members of Bachelor Nation may attend, Hannah listed off Mike Johnson, Katie Morton, Demi Burnett, Tyler Cameron, and Chris Randone.
"It's now almost April and I still don't have a dress or even really an idea of a dress," Hannah admitted on the podcast episode, which was released in early April.
"I'm just kind of annoyed at myself, but I've been holding off. I think I'm going to work with a designer and she's going to help me do the whole thing... But I don't really know what I want."
Hannah said the "issue" was that she liked everything she had tried on, many different styles, and so she'd probably end up with two dresses for her big day.
She also revealed Dylan was planning on having his bachelor party in Miami, FL.
Hannah complained that once she and Dylan tie the knot, fans are probably going to be asking her when the kids are coming.
"I get the excitement and curiosity, but I'm like, 'It's really never ending!'" Hannah said.
"Now that we officially have a wedding date and all of this stuff... now it's like, 'Oh, we're getting married. We should talk more about future stuff.'"

Given they're both 28-years-old, Hannah said she and Dylan are going to wait at least five years to have their first child -- but she knows Dylan will "crush" being a dad.
"But honestly, some days, I'm like, 'Oh yeah, we could totally do this. I would love to have a little kid.' But then some days, I don't even know what I was thinking and I can't even book appointments for myself, let alone a child," Hannah explained.

When it comes to their wedding priorities, Dylan said in February he wants "good cocktails" -- including Espresso martinis and tequila -- cigars and "good music," not old wedding classics like "The Cha Cha Slide" or "Shout!"
"I want it to be very elegant, classic, and timeless, nothing trendy," Dylan explained.
And Hannah said she wants the whole event to be "fun" while she stays present and "in the moment." She'd like to blend in, hang out with loved ones, and not feel like "the host" of a party.
The pair -- who said they pictured the event being a formal black-tie affair -- also don't care about having an expensive wedding cake, and they said they were considering writing their own vows.
For several years, Hannah and Dylan were in no rush to get married after their Bachelor in Paradise engagement.
In fact, the pair revealed last year that they had decided to postpone their wedding in order to cut back on spending since they had just bought a new home together in San Diego in late 2021.
Hannah and Dylan have also been traveling the world together in recent years, including a recent vacation to Paris, France.
Hannah and Dylan initially decided on an early 2020 wedding, but their planning got derailed due to the global outbreak of coronavirus -- and now more than three years have passed.
"[The date has been] pushed back a bit. We've been eyeing 2023 so we'll see how it goes," Hannah told Us Weekly in September 2021.

Dylan said at the time he and Hannah hoped to wed in Spring 2023 because they don't want to exchange vows in the winter, and Hannah shared how they had already hired a wedding planner.
"We're loving being engaged," Hannah gushed to the magazine in 2021. "We are excited to, like, start the next chapter whenever that is though. We are getting eager for it."

But Hannah and the Vizer app co-founder confirmed early into the wedding planning they don't want to get married on television for ABC cameras and viewers.
"For our wedding, we'd just want it to be personal, like, as close-knit as we possibly can. We want to just keep it personal and small," Hannah explained.
Prior to meeting on Bachelor in Paradise, Hannah competed for Colton Underwood's heart on The Bachelor's 23rd season and Dylan appeared on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season.
During Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season, Dylan called Hannah the love of his life and said he had no doubts in his mind that she was his person.
Dylan basically fell in love with Hannah during the first week of Paradise, but Hannah was a little terrified of investing her heart so quickly into a man following her breakup with Colton.
Dylan, however, never gave up on their potential, even when Blake Horstmann was trying to charm Hannah and steal her away.

After Hannah worked through "a few obstacles" inside of herself, she and Dylan got engaged on the beach in Mexico.
During the reunion portion of Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season, Dylan said popping the question to Hannah was "the best decision" he had ever made.
"We talk all the time, like, 'How did this all work out for us?' But for some reason, it did. He's my person and I have a different kind of love for him that I knew existed, and that's really special," Hannah shared in Summer 2019.
After the show, Hannah moved from Birmingham, AL, to California in order to be closer to Dylan and his job.
