Kelsey Anderson shares the next wedding planning step she’s most looking forward to.
While chatting with people at the inaugural TikTok Awards, hosted by La La Anthony, held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Dec. 18, the bride-to-be, 27, revealed that she and fiancé Joey Graziadei, 30, are “so excited” for the new year.
“We’re really looking forward to getting our wedding venue nailed down this year,” Anderson says. “I’ve already considered a few pairs and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Although Anderson is planning her wedding, she has no intention of becoming a bridezilla and says the only thing that is essential to her wedding is that she and Graziadei are “happy” on their big day.
“I’m all for anything that makes us happy. That’s a non-negotiable for me,” she says.
At Heidi Klum’s Halloween party in New York City on Oct. 31, Anderson reiterated that planning her wedding is a priority for 2026 and that shopping for a ceremony dress is at the top of her to-do list.
She told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine in May that she envisioned a “timeless” wedding aesthetic.
“In 30 or 40 years, I want it to look like it did back then,” Anderson told the magazine, adding that she hopes the celebration will be a combination of both her and Grazia Dei.
“I want our wedding to be a part of both of us,” she said. “I know that men often hand over jobs to women, but I don’t know[about that]. I want to represent both of us equally.”
Anderson and the Dancing with the Stars champion, who got engaged during the season 28 finale of The Bachelor last year, have repeatedly stated that they don’t want to rush into wedding planning because they want to enjoy their engagement.

Anderson told PEOPLE in January that just because his romance with Graziadei has been a whirlwind doesn’t mean they need to go all out.
“We got engaged so fast, we got engaged in two months. We want to really take time to get to know each other and get serious about the wedding, and we don’t want it to be stressful,” Anderson said at the time. “We want to enjoy the process of choosing what is most important to us at our wedding.”
