I would like to introduce my fiancé, Joseph Michael Graziadei AKA Joey, the (not applicable anymore) Bachelor. I came on The Bachelor excited to embrace a unique life experience. I was open to love, but not set on it. My mindset going in was that Joey is just a guy and I’m just a gal and we have no idea if we will mesh or not, so let’s find out...and boy did I. The first week I learned about Joey’s tattoos and his motorcycle wreck, the second week he told me how he looks up to his sister’s marriage and wants that same, utterly obvious love. By the end I knew who he was at his core. Maybe not how his first tooth fell out but I knew the kind of husband, father and friend he would be. After fantasy suites, Dez (my producer& now friend) asked me what loving Joey felt like. I said it feels like a perfect day, when the sun is out, the clouds are fluffy, when it’s not too cold or too hot and everything just feels right! Joey, loving you is effortless like a beautiful sunny day. I feel so thankful all for all of the crazy choices we both have made in life that lead us to each other. I love you so big, my sweet boy. Thank you for being my best friend above all. Now let’s go live our life!😚
