AceShowbiz - Joan Vassos, the star of "The Golden Bachelorette" and her fiance Chock Chapple have announced plans to make New York City their home base. Despite initial concerns over moving away from Maryland, Chapple has proposed securing an apartment for them in Manhattan's West Village by Christmas.

The couple intends to spend time together in New York City when they want privacy and visit each other's families in Maryland and Kansas when desired. They plan to finalize their living arrangements in New York by Christmas, as Vassos cherishes a holiday tradition of visiting the Big Apple on December 26th.

Vassos and Chapple also have a trip to Disney World in Florida to look forward to, a gift from host Jesse Palmer during the show's finale. Vassos expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, stating that visiting Disney World has been a long-held dream that she is now able to experience with Chapple.

Despite the recent wedding of "Golden Bachelor" star Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, Vassos and Chapple have not been approached about a "Golden Wedding" and are relieved. Vassos believes that it is too early to begin planning a wedding and that they prioritize enjoying their time together as an engaged couple. However, the couple has been asked about their wedding plans in general and expects to begin planning at some point.

Vassos and Chapple are excited for their upcoming adventures and believe their decision to live in New York City is a realization of long-held dreams. Vassos expresses gratitude for Chapple's willingness to fulfill this dream with her, emphasizing that it demonstrates that dreams can be realized at any age.
