Katie Thurston Reflects on Her Post-'Bachelorette' Love Story with Fiancé Blake Moynes
After accepting a proposal from Blake Moynes on the “Bachelorette” Season 17 finale, Katie Thurston reflected on their post-show love story in a touching Instagram post.
“This was our first selfie together on May 18,” Katie captioned a black-and-white photo of herself posing with Blake. “We started our relationship in a bubble only to continue our engagement in a bubble.”
She continued, “For months we couldn’t be seen together. Our secret trips never felt long enough. We couldn’t wait to experience life together. Real life. The simple things that many of us forget to appreciate.”
Katie — who hails from Washington but bought a place in San Diego this year — then recounted special moments from her recent trip to Blake’s native Canada.
“Like the drive to get the coffee together. Or spending time together surrounded by family. Grandma taking a pic with her iPad. Or the simplicity of walking the dogs together. Walking through the ice cream isle deciding a flavor to share,” she elaborated. “Holding hands during that three hour road trip. Being a tourist in a city together. Laughing from the spontaneous moments. We finally had a taste of that together during my mini trip to Canada.”
Katie concluded by saying she is “already counting down the days” until she reunites with Blake again. “We knew life was going to be an adventure,” she wrote. “But for now, I’m still soaking up the simpler things in life.”
