It’s been a year since Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple met while filming Season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette in 2024. Fans then watched their love story unfold on the show when it aired in the fall, culminating with their engagement during the finale. Since then, Chapple and Vassos have been settling into their new normal.

With her in Maryland and him in Kansas, they do whatever it takes to see each other as much as possible, and have admitted that they have no plans to rush walking down the aisle. However, the lovebirds spilled some never-before-heard scoop about their wedding plans to Swooon for our Summer Catch-Up series!
