The Bachelor alum Kelsey Anderson has revealed that she and Joey Graziadei decided to postpone their wedding.
While The Bachelor 28 couple initially considered a Spring 2026 wedding date, Kelsey told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit that they're now aiming to tie the knot in Spring 2027.
"I definitely want our wedding to be pretty timeless," Kelsey shared. "I want it to be able, in 30 or 40 years, to look like it could be done then."
Kelsey said she and Joey had only recently begun discussing wedding plans and they're simply in no rush to hammer out the details.
Kelsey explained that planning a wedding naturally comes with a lot of pressure and focus.
"We really don't want to be stressed. We don't want to just throw things together," Kelsey said.
However, Kelsey noted that she'd love her big day to be a reflection of both of their personalities.
"I want the wedding to be a part of both of us," Kelsey said.
"I know a lot of times the guys kind of let the lady take over, but I don't know [about that]. I want it to be a representation of both of us equally."
Kelsey also apparently believes Joey may surprise her by how involved he ends up being in the wedding process.
Joey popped the question to his The Bachelor winner, Kelsey, in late 2023, and the couple's engagement aired on the Season 28 finale of the ABC reality dating series in March 2024.
Kelsey shared on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast earlier this year that she and Joey are just "enjoying life right now" as an engaged couple.
Kelsey and Joey's work has clearly been keeping them busy, but when they're home together in Los Angeles, Kelsey said she and Joey enjoy ordering takeout, watching TV, and dining out at their favorite restaurants.
"A lot of the trips that we go on, thankfully, are together," Kelsey said, confirming she and Joey are able to spend quality time together.
"I think that after this month, we're trying to pick and choose what to do and what not to do more so that we get to be home more, and have more of a routine back [in California]."
Kelsey also said she makes an honest effort to give Joey's hobbies a chance and vice versa.
"We would never see each other if we were only doing the things that we wanted to do," Kelsey noted, adding how she's played golf with Joey when she doesn't love the sport.
But Kelsey clarified how she and her fiance don't "need to be together 24/7."
She shared, "I trust him fully. He trusts me fully. If I want to go on a girls trip, vice versa, he wants to go on a boys trip -- we're very supportive in that as well."
Kelsey gushed about how The Bachelor's Season 28 star is "sweet" and "kind," and she pointed out how his goofiness has come out even more after the show.
"On the show, you see a part of a person, but then you learn so much more [after]," Kelsey reflected, adding how Joey has always done a good job of reassuring her and proving that he's there for her.
When Kelsey appeared on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast earlier this year, she was asked to share her non-negotiables for her wedding.
"Honestly, I feel like I need a wedding planner to help me narrow down all the little details... The only thing I really [want] that both Joey and I have said is that we want it to just be a big party," Kelsey said at the time.
The Bachelor alum elaborated, "After we say our vows, we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor, so we've got to find the perfect band or perfect DJ!"
Kelsey added, "But yeah, there's nothing that I'm like, 'Absolutely not.' I'm pretty open. But I don't think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to kind of form into what we feel is right for us."
Kelsey also said making a home with Joey after his Dancing with the Stars win had been "fun and "really special." She noted that living with Joey has been a "seamless" experience and he's the "best" roommate.
Kelsey went on to describe Joey as "very clean and very considerate," and she concluded, "Living together has been a breeze, honestly."
