In an exclusive interview, Pasquarosa shared the couple’s preliminary wedding plans, revealing that they are keen on having a traditional church ceremony. “We definitely have a few things we know already!” she stated. “Having a church ceremony is really important to both of us. But beyond that, we’re trying to enjoy being engaged for a minute before making every decision.”
While the wedding planning might typically fall to the bride, Fiore isn’t merely taking a supporting role in the preparations for their special day. As the head of experiential strategy for the Yes Chef Group and founder of Copper Petal, an experiential agency, he will bring his unique creativity to their wedding. “His passion has always been creating meaningful moments that bring people together,” Pasquarosa noted. The couple, who also collaborate on Fiore’s business ventures, anticipate finding joy in planning their nuptials together.
With experience in crafting memorable events, there is a playful concern that Fiore may become the more assertive partner in the planning process. “He will definitely be the bridezilla, which will be fun for me!” Pasquarosa laughed as she discussed their future plans. They aspire to create a heartfelt celebration, ensuring that every detail reflects their story and allows their loved ones to feel cherished.
Elaborating on their vision for the wedding, Pasquarosa said, “More than anything, we want the entire weekend to feel like us. We want it to be thoughtful and beautiful but also warm, fun, and filled with little details that tell our story.” They are currently in the early stages of planning, excited to engage with the talented creatives who can help bring their ideas to life.
Reflecting on their relationship, Pasquarosa has credited *The Bachelor* for bringing her to her fiancé. Before meeting Fiore in East Hampton in July 2022, she had just called off her prior engagement. “If I did not go on the show, I would not have been invited to the event that I met my boyfriend at,” she acknowledged on social media, expressing gratitude for the unexpected paths that led her to true love.
Initially, the prospect of a new relationship was daunting; however, Pasquarosa soon recognised that Fiore possessed all the qualities she sought in a partner. They began dating long-distance and quickly developed a strong emotional connection. “He makes me really giddy. I can’t remember the last time that I’ve laughed like this,” she said, embracing the joys of their blossoming relationship.
In a candid moment, Pasquarosa shared when she realised Fiore was the one for her. His supportive nature and commitment to honest communication resonated deeply with her. “True love is two imperfect people continuously choosing each other,” she remarked, emphasising the strength of their bond.
Following their proposal, Fiore marvelled at the bliss of the moment, stating that while he felt a touch of sadness upon its conclusion, he was ecstatic to focus on planning their future. “Now we move the excitement to planning a wedding and a life together,” he expressed.
Pasquarosa echoed this sentiment, recalling the serenity that washed over her during the proposal. “It wasn’t just that we were engaged, it was the overwhelming peace of knowing that the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with wanted the very same thing,” she said, encapsulating the deep respect and appreciation they hold for one another in their relationship.
As they embark on this new chapter together, Pasquarosa and Fiore’s loving engagement conveys a powerful reminder of the connections that can flourish from unexpected beginnings. As they look forward to their wedding in 2027, fans and followers alike are eager to see how their love story unfolds.
