Joan and Chock are ready to party — and then take NYC! After getting engaged on the Wednesday , November 13, episode of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are set to celebrate their relationship with a big engagement party in Los Angeles before heading to the East Coast. “It’s gonna be bigger than most weddings,” Chock, 61, told Us Weekly of the party in the couple’s first exclusive interview. “We’ve got friends coming in from around the country, and it’s kind of our coming-out party as a couple.
We’re extremely excited about that.” By the end of the week, the twosome will be apartment hunting in New York City. “This first year, obviously, we have to kind of figure out life.
Chock has a business in Kansas. I have kids and grandkids and Maryland. I’m not leaving Maryland, but he does have obligations in Kansas,” Joan tells Us .
“We know that we’re gonna spend time in Maryland and in Kansas, but then we have this really fun plan because both of us have always dreamed — and we’re finally at this weird stage in life for making this dream come true — that we live in a big city, and, specifically, we’ve always wanted to live in New York. So Chock surprised me and said, ‘I want us to go find a place.’” The twosome both agree that this is the perfect adventure for their first year as a couple.
“We both love the energy in the city and love that there’s always something to do,” Joan continued. “We just wanna go out.
