Keeping their big days small! While some celebrity couples relish in the spotlight on their wedding days, others have stayed more private.

In October 2022, Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt announced that they got married at a courthouse in New York City following their engagement on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise. The pair later revealed how they decided to take the leap.

“We started the wedding planning process and we were like, ‘This is gonna take a while. Why don’t we knock out the marriage thing?'” Amabile explained to cohost Tia Booth during an episode of their “Click Bait” podcast. “We thought it would be fun. We had some friends that did it.”

The twosome initially intended to keep the milestone private, but they shared the news via social media the same day they made it official. “We were so dressed down,” Pitt explained on the podcast. “We were wearing masks. We were like, ‘There’s no way anyone’s gonna see us.’ But it’s this big room before you go into the individual room with so many people [waiting] that we were kinda like, ‘OK, there’s a chance.'”

Fellow Bachelor Nation alum Natasha Parker served as the couple’s witness, but the reality stars already have something special in mind for the rest of their friends and family. “We haven’t picked a location yet,” Amabile exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2022 of planning a second ceremony. “We’re between Austin, Texas, Charleston, [South Carolina], or Nashville. … If somebody wants to pay us to put it on TV, let’s go.”

The Chicago native teased: “ABC, if you’re listening, if you wanna make something happen, we’ll chat. But right now, I think we’re just gonna go ahead and keep it private.”
