I Wish Everyone Would Leave Joan Vassos And Chock Chapple Alone (I Don't Want Another Gerry & Theresa Ending)

Joan met 60-year-old Chock during the premiere night of The Golden Bachelorette season 1. Though he didn't receive her first impression rose, he did receive her highly coveted first solo date. That date was a turning point in their relationship, and neither of them ever turned back. By the time Joan was giving Chock her final rose, it was a foregone conclusion. She had sent her runner-up home earlier, so there wasn't even a traditional rose ceremony. Joan and Chock seem happily engaged, but that hasn't stopped people from being unfairly critical of them.

Joan & Chock Deserve To Be Happy

They've Both Been Through So Much

Joan & Chock Seem To Be Blissfully Happy

"Love Is Golden"

It's hard not to notice how happy Joan and Chock have been since getting engaged during The Golden Bachelorette season 1 finale. Once Joan and Chock were finally able to go public with their relationship, they were eager to shout their love out from the mountaintops of social media. From the moment Chock slipped a ring on Joan's finger, they haven't been able to keep their hands off each other.

Soon after their engagement went public, US Weekly posted a photo shoot of the couple on Instagram, in which Joan and Chock joyfully celebrate their engagement. The post's caption reads, "Love is golden." Joan and Chock are clearly on the path to their happy ending, and instead of hating on them, I wish people would be happy for them. They're setting a great example for older people who want to find love again, and I'm inspired by their willingness to open their hearts after experiencing so much pain.
