Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch update fans on wedding plans
Bachelor Nation caught up with Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch to talk about how life is going and where they are in the wedding planning process.
Mari revealed that after her latest pageant victory she is done with that part of her life and is now focusing on wedding planning. She said, “We’re just in the beginning stages of wedding planning. We picked our date, which is November of next year. We know it’s going to be in Puerto Rico and we have a list of four or five venues that we’re going to go look at, either this month or next month.”
Kenny added to what Mari was saying. He said, “When it comes to planning, I mostly just love watching Mari enjoy planning it all. But what we’re going to do is our Puerto Rican wedding is going to be a little bit smaller with family. Then we’ll do something in Chicago party-wise after. It will be a celebration. That’s where I’ll do more of the planning for the Chicago party. We are hoping for around the same time; we don’t know for sure yet. It could be early 2024 for that one.”
More wedding details
Mari also shared that they will have a lot of Bachelor Nation alums attending both weddings. She also said their dogs will be there too. She noted she usually travels with them.
Mari has also been thinking about what she will wear. In fact, she already has a dress for their big Chicago celebration. For her wedding in Puerto Rico, she will be wearing a dress designed by one of her friends. She’s been sketching out ideas already.
Kenny noted he wants to wear a traditional black tux but is opting to wear Jordans instead of dress shoes on their big day.
Advice for new BIP couples
Mari and Kenny both had some advice for new couples coming off of Season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise. Mari said the new couples should stay level-headed and stay committed to getting through both positive and negative situations together.
Kenny said for him and Mari it was best to figure out where they were going to live. He thinks a lot of couples who don’t make it don’t because of trying to do a long-distance relationship.
