Wedding bells may be ringing soon forNick Vialland fiancéeNatalie Joy.
TheBacheloralum, 42,revealed toE! Newsat the Brilliant Earth x Nick Viall Valentine’s Day event that despitejust getting engaged, he and Joy are ready to get the ball rolling along to become husband and wife.
“We’re definitely anxious to get married,” he continued. “We definitely didn’t get engaged to have a long engagement, so it’s been great. It’s exciting.”
He told the outlet that they have already begun pre-planning for the wedding.
“We recently had a lot of talks about it,” he said. “Which was more than I’ve ever done. It’s eye-level things. Last night, we just started talking about how we should start making a list.”
Viall said they have also been able to get a little advice from their friends who “recently got married” or are in the midst of “planning a wedding.”
“Everyone tells us, ‘You got to find the venue,'” Viall said. “For me, it’s an excitement level, but I’ve been told that if you can find that, it gets a lot easier. But that’s the big hurdle. So now I’m excited to figure that out. It is intimidating.”

TheViallFilespodcast host said “the driving force” of finding a venue would be making sure that “people who know our relationship and know us” are involved, instead of having the “biggest wedding of all time.”
“Also convenience,” Joy added. “We want it to be super easy. I have a lot of older, sick family members who I want to come, and I don’t want anyone having to fly to Mexico. I want it to be easy for everyone.”
The couple has also already started thinking about wedding guests, and it’s no surprise that someBachelor Nationcouples are on that list. Viall told E! News thatBachelor in ParadisestarsJarrod Haibon and Ashley Laconettiare on the list “for sure” as well asBen Higgensand Jess Clarke andSharleen Joynt and Andy Levin.
“We have been lucky enough that we’re good friends of that community. We’ll see what we’re able to do. We don’t even know what kind of wedding it’s gonna look like, but most people are family for sure,” Viall said.
Joy also noted that they hope to invite friendsSarah HylandandWells Adams.
