Although the couple is excited about wedding plans—Juliana has set her sights on an Italian venue—they are choosing to take their time. They are prioritizing the development of their relationship, including getting to know each other’s friends and family while transitioning to life beyond the camera’s gaze.

“We are taking things one day at a time,” Grant reiterated in an interview. “Our bond strengthens daily as we learn more about one another.”

So, where do Grant and Juliana stand today? Here’s what we’ve gathered about their wedding planning journey and their plans to move closer together.

In the finale episode, Grant proposed using a beautiful three-diamond ring designed especially for Juliana by jeweler Neil Lane.

“I genuinely feel you are my best friend. I am thankful for our journey together, and I want you to know that during life’s hardest moments, you won’t be alone. I will always be here for you— as your partner, your man, and your friend,” he proclaimed on his knee, concluding his proposal with the question, “Will you marry me?”

After this touching moment aired, the couple joined host Jesse Palmer during the After the Final Rose segment, where they confirmed their relationship was flourishing post-show, and they cherished the time spent together.

“This feeling is surreal. The entire journey has been almost dreamlike,” Juliana reflected. “Yet, we’ve dedicated months to reconnecting and truly getting to know one another. I’m thrilled to just have dinner with him and enjoy a glass of wine.”

What have Grant and Juliana said about their relationship since The Bachelor ended?

In a candid conversation with PEOPLE, Grant and Juliana recounted the pivotal moments that solidified their feelings for each other.

Juliana recalled an “instant spark” upon meeting Grant, accentuated by her greeting him with a cannoli—a nod to her Italian roots.

“From that very first moment, I had no doubts,” shared Juliana. “I sensed on opening night that he was my person, though I aimed to keep an open mind.”

While Juliana intuitively felt Grant could become her husband early on, he realized her potential as the one during a profound one-on-one date in Scotland.

“Our mutual attraction was evident, but what truly began our connection was sharing our life stories that day in Scotland,” Grant elaborated. “From there, we organically deepened our bond with each discussion.”

Are Grant and Juliana moving in together?

Although originally from Newark, New Jersey, Grant has settled in Houston as an adult. He has intentions to maintain his Houston residence while relocating full-time to Boston, where Juliana currently resides.

“The community and family dynamics in her town resonate with me, and I want to integrate into that,” stated Grant. “I will keep my place in Houston, but I’ll also split my time to make this work.”

Meanwhile, Juliana expressed eagerness to explore potential apartment options together, hoping to find a space that embodies their shared style and energy while simultaneously pursuing her career goals.

She also looks forward to introducing Grant to her favorite local spots and sharing meaningful experiences, such as enjoying a laid-back dinner together.

“I can’t wait to return to Olivia’s Bistro, indulge in some mushroom tagliatelle and savor a glass of red wine. Just a simple, normal dinner with Grant is something I’ve long anticipated,” Juliana said, reflecting on her desire for an uncomplicated lifestyle with her fiancé.

When are Grant and Juliana getting married?

While the couple has not set a wedding date, they share a clear vision for their future together. Juliana emphasized to PEOPLE that they are in no hurry to formalize their union.

“We want to enjoy life together for a while,” she explained. “Planning a wedding involves many considerations and people we’d like to introduce to each other. It’s essential that everything aligns for everyone involved.”

Grant echoed this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm for a joyful celebration. “We’re excited to embrace life together, and when the moment comes for the wedding, we intend for it to be filled with family, wine, and a true celebration of our lives together,” he stated.

As they navigate life together, Grant and Juliana are also focusing on building relationships with each other’s families—something that has been vital for Juliana throughout her time on The Bachelor.

“They’ve connected over calls and FaceTime,” Juliana noted. “We made sure to establish that relationship right after the show, wanting them to feel involved.”

Grant further shared his confidence in their families blending well after meeting during the hometown visits.

“I had no doubts about our families getting along,” he shared. “Interestingly, both of our fathers work in the automotive industry, which provided an immediate connection for them.”
