‘The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson Give Update on Wedding Location
Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are in the thick of wedding planning. After taking some time to get used to being a couple, The Bachelor stars have finally hired a wedding planner and are moving along in the process of heading down the aisle.
While they still have a long way to go, they have started to narrow some things down, including where they want their big day to take place.
“California, the Carolinas, the upper East Coast,” Anderson told Swooon at Hulu’s Get Real event about the couple’s wedding location ideas. “I think that we’re open right now, but definitely want good weather, and California typically has good weather. But then the Carolinas do as well.”
Graziadei added that he and his fiancée are currently making decisions about “location, size, [and] all those types of things.” He also admitted that they haven’t fully narrowed down their guest list just yet, but said that they have a stipulation in place to help make the process easier.
“We both haven’t gotten to the point of actually sitting down and making the list, and that’s the first thing we need to do because we both have good-sized families,” Graziadei explained. “But I’ve heard this rule all the time, and I think it’s an important one: You shouldn’t meet someone at your wedding. It should be everyone there you actually do know personally, someone you’ve had a relationship with. Now, that doesn’t always work out perfectly, but I like the idea of just having it be personal. So whatever that size ends up being, that’s what we’ll do.”
The couple also said that they’re open to having a televised wedding, but “haven’t gotten that far into that conversation” just yet. “If there’s a world where someone wants that to happen, we’ll take the meeting,” Graziadei explained. “We will talk about it.”
Anderson added that having camera crews around “would be a lot” on top of an already stressful time. “[It] might add a little extra stress, but again, you just never known,” Graziadei confirmed. “That’s something that’s down the road, and all we can do right now is focus on what we want to do, and then if that comes along and that makes sense, and it aligns, then we might be open to it.”
