Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa are continuing to explore the depths of their relationship following their engagement on
The Bachelor Season 29. While they are still in the early stages of their relationship, current developments suggest they may be heading to the altar before Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple from The Golden Bachelorette. The romance between Grant and Juliana has flourished since they first connected, with a memorable night spent together at a castle in Edinburgh, Scotland, becoming a pivotal moment for them. Their shared experiences of loneliness forged a deeper bond, and Grant has embraced the warmth of Juliana’s extended family. Unlike runner-up Litia Garr, Juliana has allowed their love to evolve naturally, without exerting undue pressure.
As Grant and Juliana’s relationship progresses, they appear to be moving faster toward wedding preparations compared to Joan and Chock, who are navigating a long-distance relationship. Joan is based in Maryland while Chock resides in Kansas, and their aspirations for wedding planning seem to be on hold. The couple is currently focused on balancing their careers and assimilating their families, all under the challenges of living hundreds of miles apart. While Grant and Juliana are taking a measured approach to their relationship, it’s evident that their wedding plans may soon outpace those of their Golden Bachelorette counterparts.
Grant & Juliana: Dreaming of a Destination Wedding
Envisioning a Romantic Ceremony in Italy
Both Grant and Juliana are relishing their engagement while prioritizing the growth of their relationship. However, they are already making substantial strides in planning their wedding, having identified Italy as their dream destination. In an interview with People, they expressed their desire for a celebration filled with family, wine, and joy. Grant described their vision: “We’re going to live it up.”
Despite getting engaged after Joan and Chock, Grant and Juliana’s wedding plans seem to be gaining momentum. Joan and Chock, on the other hand, have been less decisive about their wedding plans, oscillating between the idea of an elaborate televised event or a more intimate gathering.
Grant’s Commitment: A Move to Boston
Ready to Relocate for Love
The couple has been prioritizing their time together, ensuring that they never spend more than two weeks apart. Grant made a commitment to move during the live finale of The Bachelor Season 29. In contrast, Joan and Chock have not yet settled on a shared home, despite having a long-distance relationship that has been functioning well. They did, however, consider establishing a third home in New York City, indicating their flexibility and enjoyment of their current dynamic.
Joan’s Current Focus: Supporting Her Family
Family Comes First
Joan recently disclosed in an interview with Bachelor Nation that her focus is on her sons’ weddings. With one son getting married this year and another expected to get engaged soon, Joan is wisely placing her children’s needs at the forefront and taking a step back from her own wedding plans.
This reveals a significant contrast between the journeys of the two couples. While Grant and Juliana are embarking on a new chapter together, Joan and Chock are navigating the complexities of integrating their lives. Despite securing their engagement ahead of Grant and Juliana, the absence of concrete wedding plans for Joan and Chock suggests a possible intent to relish their engagement status for the long term. Nevertheless, Grant and Juliana, while also opting for a measured pace, may be on the verge of making their love story the next celebrated Bachelor wedding.
The Bachelor series is currently available for streaming on Hulu.
