Dishin’ on the details … or lack thereof! Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay sat down with Us Weekly on Tuesday, February 6, and opened up about the wedding planning process with fiance Bryan Absasolo.
The Bachelorette After the Final Rose: Broken Engagements, Weddings, Babies, and More!“Those aren’t moving along as quickly [as moving in together.] We both want it, we just don’t know how we’re going to do it,” the reality star, 32, told Us.
As for whether they’ll tie the knot on live television — a la fellow Bachelor Nation couples like Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici — she said, “We’re still trying to figure out those details. Is it going to be in the states? Or is it going to be in Columbia? We don’t know.”
However, there are a few “must-haves” on Lindsay’s list. “Good music. I’m very big on ‘I want everyone to have a good time and enjoy themselves.’ I know it’s like our day, but it’s about the people we love celebrating our day with us,” she told Us. “And I really want good flowers. I feel like flowers add character to the wedding, so that’s a must-have.” Biggest Reality TV Villains Meanwhile, there is one giant no-no. “No roses. We’re done. Those days are over,” she joked. Though it took her two tries at the reality dating show to find true love, Lindsay found forever friends in her first stint on Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor — and those ladies will definitely play a special part when she weds her beau.

It’s such a huge platform and I’m excited that I get to use my platform to talk about a disease that impacts women and it’s the number one killer of women.” She added: “To be a part of a platform where I can educate women about that is beautiful.” As previously reported, Lindsay and Abasolo got engaged on the finale of The Bachelorette season 13 in August 2017.
