Ali Fedotowsky isn’t taking any chances when it comes to her or her family’s health.
The former Bachelorette and her future husband cancelled their destination wedding in Mexico over the threat of Zika transmission.
“Originally, we planned the whole wedding in Mexico,” Fedotowsky, 31, revealed toThe Knot. “We were super excited. We found the most amazing location and villa that would allow our entire family to stay with us. Then, all the news broke about the Zika virus and we had to cancel.”
Although she and her fiancé Kevin Manno, 31, are heartbroken over the news, they knew it was for the best.
The pair then opted for another location, sunny California – butthatalso fell through.
“We actually also planned a wedding in California for January 2016, and we ended up pushing that back too because we found out I was pregnant,” she said. “Could we have kept the date? Sure. But I like to celebrate and celebrate with champagne!”
“I want to be able to let loose and completely enjoy myself at my wedding,” the reality star added. “I didn’t know how pregnancy would affect me so I didn’t want to risk feeling crappy on my wedding day. It’s a good thing we didn’t get married then because I was so sick at the beginning of my pregnancy. It would have been a rough night for me.”
As for now, these two are okay hitting the reset button their wedding plans, but one thing that hasn’t changed is Fedotowsky’s idea ofnotgetting married on live television.
“We just want to celebrate our love with all the people that matter most to us,” the blogger added. “I don’t need to know any of the details, I just want to show up and marry my best friend. [I was also told] to make sure the food and music is good. Oh, and to have an open bar!”
