Will Joan and Chock from The Golden Bachelorette follow in Gerry and Theresa’s footsteps? Here’s what they said about what’s next

It’s been more than a month since The Golden Bachelorette couple The engagement of Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple went public, and just like we saw with Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist on the first Golden spin-off last year, audiences became interested in what happens off-camera: Do Joan and Chock live together? Are they really a real couple? Are they going to get married on TV? The duo answered these questions, and it looks like they’re excited to follow in Gerry and Theresa’s footsteps when it comes to the next big step: a televised wedding.

This time last year, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s wedding date had already been set and announced on The Golden Bachelor final. Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple aren’t moving on that quickly, but after initially wanting to keep their eventual ceremony modest, Joan had an interesting reason to eventually change her mind. She said on the Call it what it is podcast:

I thought, I just want it to be our family and friends and just be intimate and just be a couple – well not a couple that everyone is looking at, just us. And then this thought came to mind, now that I’ve seen people’s reactions to the show and how much hope it’s given them, and I want to just leave them at the curb – just when they can see, maybe the real finale is a wedding – that’s not the right thing to do.
