A popular Bachelor franchise couple visited Wisconsin this week and had a hilarious yard sale debacle

A beloved Bachelor franchise couple visited Wisconsin this week — and had a hilarious yard sale debacle.

"Hello, I'm at Wisconsin at the lake," Hannah Godwin said at the beginning of a TikTok video she shared over the weekend. She was sipping on coffee to wake up because — in true Wisconsin fashion — she had "a few beers on the lake" earlier that day.

Godwin appeared on Season 23 of "The Bachelor," and her fiance, Dylan Barbour, was on Season 15 of "The Bachelorette." In 2019, the two went on "Bachelor in Paradise," which features former "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants, and ended up getting engaged during the show's season finale. The pair resides in San Diego.

In Godwin's "get ready with me"-style TikTok — filmed in Green Lake — she said she had an "interesting" story to share.

She and Barbour came across a yard sale after leaving the airport the day before.

"They have tons of stuff outside," Godwin said in the video. "We're like, 'Jackpot, this is good.' "

After doing some browsing, the people who lived there approached them.

"We make a little small talk and we're like, 'Bet y'all made some great sales today,' " Godwin said in the video. "They were like, 'What? We're not selling any of this.' "

Turns out, it wasn't a yard sale after all ... they were just cleaning out their garage.

Godwin left her 1.1 million followers with some advice: "Next time you go to a yard sale, make sure it's a yard sale."

In the video, Godwin said she and Barbour were going to a fundraiser for the lake later that day, where someone could win a date with them. When a commenter asked if she was in Lake Geneva, she replied: Green Lake. Over the years, the couple has shared numerous social media posts from there.

Godwin made it to the top three of Season 23 of "The Bachelor" before Colton Underwood ended things with both her and Tayshia Adams to fight for contestant Cassie Randolph, who left him. Underwood publicly came out as gay in 2021 and is now engaged to Jordan C. Brown.

Barbour was a contestant during Hannah Brown's Season 15 of "The Bachelorette."

Earlier this year, Godwin and Barbour decided to pause wedding planning to purchase a new San Diego home together, according to a People report.
