Here comes the bride…on national television?
This is the question friends.
Just a few days ago, Joan Vassos ended her tenure as The Golden Bachelorette by getting engaged to Chuck Chappelle.
Yes, that is his real name.
“I never thought in a million years that I would feel this kind of love again,” Vassos said after Chalk proposed in Bora Bora on the November 13 series finale.
Where do things stand now between this couple?
So far, it’s going surprisingly well, it seems, as Joan and Chuck remain together and committed to their future – something that most couples who have been involved in any version of this franchise can’t say. Are.
According to this couple, they have every intention of getting married.
Not now Very Soon, at least.
“You’re not going to see a TV wedding at all in three months,” Joanne said in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
Of course, not so long ago, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist met and fell in love on The Golden Bachelor, got married in front of the ABC cameras a short time later — and then got divorced.
“I loved that ending of Gerry and Theresa,” Joan told the tabloid above.
“The reason we’re not getting married in three months has nothing to do with Gerry and Theresa. I just don’t want anything else, I have to make plans now. When we come together for a wedding, which may be a TV wedding, may not be, it will not happen in three months.
“I don’t want to plan anything else right now. We love being together and I want to take time to get to know each other’s families and friends.
Joan and Chalk will likely move to New York City together, and are showing no romantic signs of slowing down.
“Living through your golden years is special. You are no longer responsible for raising a family or running a business. You really enjoy life,'” Vassos also told Us Weekly.
“Travel is important for us. Buying a house together one day. After John passed away, I felt like my future was this black hole. And now it looks much brighter. The possibilities for us are endless.
“It’s a weird thing to say at this age, but I feel that way.”
