The Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos wants a small wedding with just "close friends and family"

In the interview with Parade, The Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos shared that it had only been some time since they revealed their relationship to the world, so they didn't have any full-fledged plans for their wedding ceremony yet.

She mentioned that they weren't allowed to make plans with others before the finale. However, now that their relationship is public, she and Chock plan to focus on their wedding. She clarified, though, that they don’t intend to get married right away.

"We kind of are excited to be out in public and getting to know each other’s friends and family for a little while, and then, some time in the next few months, we’ll start thinking wedding,” The Golden Bachelorette added.

Joan shared that they would likely get married in 2025. While marriage is on the horizon, she emphasized that they are committed to starting their life together regardless. When the time comes, their wedding will include a celebration with friends and family.

The Golden Bachelorette was a bit uncertain when asked about her idea of a dream wedding. She said that the whole experience was "so new" and she never thought that she would be having a second wedding.

"I had a pretty big first wedding so initially I thought, small, just friends and family. We’ve both done that [big wedding] already, and maybe it would just be about us and our close friends and family,” Joan added.
