Getting wedding inspiration? Nearly four months after Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya‘s engagement aired, the duo have already begun thinking about their dream nuptials.“Nayte and I, we know so many different people and we have such big families and that’s a huge part of [our planning process],” the Minnesota native, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the Sherri Hill NYFW Bridal and Evening Fashion Show on Friday, April 8. “And so coming out of a pandemic … one thing that we both can’t imagine is having a small wedding and so we want to make sure that we’re completely clear of that so that’s not even a stresser for us, and then, [we want to have] warm weather [on our wedding day].”Young and the Canada native, 27, got engaged during the December 2021 finale of The Bachelorette season 18.

As the pair have balanced their new normal as an engaged couple, they’ve also dealt with a long-distance relationship. (Young lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, while her beau is based in Austin, Texas.)“When we are together, we just spend time together like non-stop so it’s nice,” Olukoya gushed to Us on Friday when he and Young attended the fashion show in support of Hannah Godwin, who walked in the show.The fifth grade teacher, for her part, added: “If we’re not hanging out, we’re texting [or] FaceTiming.

We do a lot of movie nights like over FaceTime or Zoom. We’ve been making it work. But, he’s been in Minnesota for a little bit now so it’s been nice.”Young, who previously appeared on season 25 of The Bachelor before becoming the franchise lead, noted that the pair mostly spends time together traveling — whether to New York for a fashion show or to Mexico for a romantic retreat.“It was amazing.
