The Bachelor season 29’s couple, Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, recently celebrated their engagement during the season finale. It raises the intriguing question of whether they will tie the knot before season 28’s couple, Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson. For context, Joey, 29, and Kelsey, 26, became engaged in November 2023 and have since made the move to Los Angeles—a relocation that coincided with Joey’s victory on Dancing With The Stars season 33, filmed in that vibrant city.
Grant, aged 31, and Juliana, 28, got engaged in October 2024, with their proposal showcased in The Bachelor season 29 finale. However, Grant faced scrutiny for his internal conflict between choosing Juliana and his runner-up, Litia Garr. As they embark on their new life together, Grant plans to move to Boston with Juliana soon, and their evident happiness hints at a strong possibility of them marrying before Joey and Kelsey, despite the latter couple’s earlier engagement.

Grant and Juliana have no immediate plans to rush into marriage, although they do have an idea of what they envision for their wedding day. In a March 2025 interview with People, Grant mentioned that he and Juliana are savoring their time together, learning from each other, and deepening their love with each passing day. While they both see marriage as a shared goal, Juliana emphasized that they aren’t in a hurry to say “I do.”
Moreover, Juliana articulated their desire to first experience life together after the show before committing to marriage. She believes it’s important to bond with each other’s friends and family to contextualize their relationship fully.
Interestingly, Juliana has a dream wedding location in mind—Italy. Grant echoed her enthusiasm, sharing that they envision a celebration complete with cherished family, wine, and joy. When the timing feels right, they’ll discuss their plans more seriously, suggesting they have already laid down some tangible thoughts about their wedding, setting them apart from Joey and Kelsey, who lack defined plans at this stage.

Throughout the course of The Bachelor season 29, Joey expressed a desire for a prolonged engagement, indicating he hoped to remain engaged for at least two to three years, although he mentioned that this timeline could shift. In a January 2025 interview with People, Kelsey revealed they have no intention of marrying until 2026 or 2027.
Kelsey elaborated that their engagement occurred after only two months of knowing each other, prompting their decision to take a measured approach as they get to know one another more deeply before committing to marriage. Their dynamic is somewhat unconventional, resembling a reverse trajectory: starting with engagement and then shifting back to the dating phase for a better understanding.
Kelsey further explained that part of their delay in marrying stems from their desire to thoughtfully plan their wedding without succumbing to stress. They wish to savor the experience of curating details that resonate with them, like Joey’s choice of a classic black and white tuxedo and Kelsey’s idea of potentially donning two dresses—one for the ceremony and another for the reception.
Kelsey also shared that her father, Mark Anderson, known from The Golden Bachelorette, will accompany her down the aisle. The couple has considered a first look before the ceremony, which would allow time for photos together before heading to the reception—a concept that excites Joey and intrigues Kelsey.
In addition, Kelsey intends to empower her bridesmaids by allowing them to choose dresses that are similar yet distinct, ensuring each feels valued and special. Moreover, Joey and Kelsey wish to pay tribute to their late family members, incorporating personalized touches into their wedding decor, possibly through flowers or other meaningful elements that evoke their presence.
However, unlike Grant and Juliana, Joey and Kelsey have yet to settle on a wedding venue. Looking ahead, it seems likely that their nuptials won’t occur until at least 2027, given the absence of firm plans and the timeline already stretching into April 2025.
Joey & Kelsey Aren’t Prioritizing Wedding Planning
They Have Other Priorities
Post-finale, Joey and Kelsey have prioritized their relationship while also achieving personal milestones. Joey showcased his talent by winning Dancing With The Stars season 33, touring nationwide with his dance partner Jenna Johnson.
Both have embraced influencer opportunities, partnering with various brands like Amazon and Vitality. Kelsey collaborated with James Allen for jewelry promotion and made a striking appearance in a gown by designer Sherri Hill during New York Fashion Week. Notably, she also launched a pink and white bracelet for Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a heartfelt tribute to her late mother who succumbed to breast cancer in 2018.
Adventurous and eager to explore, Joey and Kelsey have also traveled extensively since their engagement, visiting Hawaii, Portugal, and Saint Martin. They’ve made appearances together at events like Celebrity Family Feud, Stagecoach, the premieres of Suits and IF, CMA Fest, and even the Super Bowl, frequently enjoying life together as they check off items on Joey’s “30 Before I Turn 30” list.
Delaying wedding planning seems to have enabled them to embrace this thrilling chapter of their lives, filled with travel and shared experiences. It feels like they are savoring their relationship while postponing nuptials, which may enhance their eventual commitment.
Grant & Juliana Appear More Committed to Marriage
They’re Likely to Get Married First
While both couples continue to explore their paths beyond the show, Grant and Juliana seem to display a deeper commitment to the idea of marriage. Grant recently released a single titled “Party Girl”and shows intent to expand his music career. Meanwhile, Juliana has embarked on her entrepreneurial journey with a clothing brand called Nice Girl Label, which she co-founded with her sister, Dominique.
Despite Grant and Juliana’s earlier engagement, they appear more focused on marriage than Joey and Kelsey. Should Joey and Kelsey indeed wait until 2026 or 2027, it’s likely that Grant and Juliana will reach the altar first. Regardless of when their weddings take place, both couples undoubtedly complement each other well, and I wish them all enduring happiness.
