Kelsey Anderson Shares Update on Wedding Venue and If She’s Found a Dress
Here comes the bride!
Bachelor Nation fans saw Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei fall in love and get engaged on Season 28 of “The Bachelor.”
Since their time on the show, the two have been enjoying their lives together and are starting to plan their wedding.
Recently, Kelsey revealed that she and Joey are planning on officially tying the knot early next year.
And now, she’s sharing an update on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast about their wedding venue and whether she’s found a dress yet.
While chatting with podcast hosts Charity Lawson and Rachel Recchia, Kelsey revealed that she and Joey are about to confirm their venue.
“We have looked at four different venues in the past couple weeks,” she said. “So that’s been really exciting, being able to be like, ‘Okay, we like this, we don’t like this.’ It’s a process, but we’re hoping to have a venue locked in next month.”
The Bachelor Nation star also shared that she and Joey have been looking at venues all over the country. “I’m stressing,” she teased. “We’re looking all over. We’re looking at California, Georgia, Philly, everywhere. We’re looking everywhere.”
Rachel and Charity then asked Kelsey if she’s found her wedding dress yet, to which she answered honestly.
“I haven’t looked at dresses yet, which I found out recently — I was talking to one of my friends that just got married — and she was like, ‘Yeah, girl, eight months out is a short notice for wedding dresses,’” she admitted. “I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, it just keeps creeping back up.’
“I swear when we initially got our wedding planner and started this whole process, I felt like I had so much time. And then within these past couple months, it’s like, ‘Nope, we actually have no time.’ And people are like, ‘Oh, you’re getting married 2026?’ And we’re like, ‘No, 2027… Do you know how much time it takes?’”
Rachel then joked that Kelsey will need a custom wedding dress to fit her BBL — a joke Kelsey started last year on her own social media pages. Charity chimed in, laughing, “Definitely. You’re gonna need some free-flowing fabric back there.”
The bride-to-be also revealed how involved Joey has been in the planning process so far.
She said, “Joey has booked all of our tours. He has been coordinating with our wedding planner and he’s been making plans. Because I was so stressed out and sometimes when I get too overwhelmed, I completely shut down… So Joey has been helping so much with planning all of that. I know once we get the wedding venue locked in, which honestly at this point I’m like, ‘Can we get married wherever?’ I think he’s going to curate it with the little details. And I’ll be way more hands-on with that.”
We can’t wait for Kelsey and Joey’s wedding! Hear the rest of her conversation in the full episode of “Bachelor Happy Hour” below.
