Since then, the two have been busy planning their big day, telling PEOPLE in November that they’ve picked out the “perfect” wedding date: Oct. 10, 2020.
She explained that the two still have a lot to work out, including whether or not they’re going to have a large bridal party.
“I’m not wanting to have any bridesmaids. It’s a lot going on in the friendship department over here. I’m trying to mend friendships, new friendships are blossoming. We’ll have to see what happens when we get to the reunion, who even makes it to the wedding. But it’s something we have to figure out because Mike really wants groomsman,” Bailey said.
“It’s a lot of drama!” Hill added.
“If I’m on the show, absolutely!” she said.
