‘Let’s Stay Together!’: Joan & Chock Consider Eloping After Thanksgiving Drama and NYC Search

The Golden Bachelorette stars Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are so in love, and it's possible that they'll elope in the Big Apple. These two people have really lived - in fact, both were very unlucky, losing long-term partners to cancer. Since they've grieved, they understand what's really important in life - love. As both have been married before, they may decide to skip the big wedding and enjoy a quick and simple ceremony that's about joyful commitment, rather than pleasing Bachelor Nation fans.

Joan and Chock's New York City love shack could be a reality pretty soon, as they recently told E! Online that they found an ideal home in Soho. With that in mind, they may decide that eloping in that cosmopolitan city is an ultra-romantic decision. During his chat with E! Online on Dec. 7, Chock bemoaned the fact that "inventory" was low this winter. However, they did find something suitable, so they may sign on the dotted line soon. Joan's wish list for a New York City home includes a balcony where Chock can smoke cigars.

Their Love Could Last Forever

They're Choosing Each Other Every Day

In the clip shown above, via the official Tina Turner YouTube channel, the late and great Tina sings about hope, love and the happiness that they bring. She trusts her partner completely and wants to be with him forever. It seems like Joan feels just the same about Chock, as she's close to buying real estate with him. In her eyes, Chock's perfect.

Let's stay together

​​​​​​​I, I'm I'm so in love with you

Whatever you want to do

Is all right with me

'Cause you make me feel so brand new

And I want to spend my life with you - Let's Stay Together (Al Green, covered by Tina Turner)

Buying a home together is a form of commitment, and it bodes well, hinting that the duo may decide to marry soon enough. An elopement would be a fun way to do that, as they'd avoid the stress and hassle of a great big wedding. If they choose to elope in New York, there will be so many fun options. This is the city that never sleeps, and the possibilities are endless.

There's always the chance that only one of them will sign on the dotted line. However, it appears that they're preparing to purchase something together. New York real estate isn't cheap, so this is definitely a clue that marriage is part of their plan for the future. In other words, they're not just saying they're going to wed someday. They're making choices that prove that's highly likely, whether they elope or not.

An Intimate Central Park Wedding Would Be Wonderful

Joan & Chock Deserve Happiness

Joan and Chock, shown dancing together in the Instagram post above, could marry in Central Park - the gorgeous green space has a host of charming features, including Strawberry Fields (a tribute to John Lennon), Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Bow Bridge and Belvedere Castle.

An outdoor wedding could be glorious no matter the season. This park is a jewel, like a glowing emerald in the middle of a concrete jungle, and it's the perfect place for the duo to start over with one another. Since planning a wedding there is so simple, it's a perfect elopement option, and they could include their kids if they want to, making Joan and Chock's wedding a little fancier.

This Could Be The Ultimate Fairytale

Joan & Chock Are Moving Forward Together

They've hit some obstacles so far and gotten through them, passing every test with flying colors, so it's quite possible that the highly compatible duo will live out a "late in life" fairytale. Chock's a Virgo man who's a perfect match for Capricorn Joan. These two signs naturally gravitate towards one another - there is so much common ground.

Yes, Chock's done well in life, and doesn't hide the fact that he is seemingly well-to-do, but he doesn't really rub it in people's faces either. In fact, he can be quite down to earth, praising his children online and whipping up the Chock-A-Noodle soup that won Joan over. She's an elegant woman who chose to read a poem she wrote during the talent portion of The Golden Bachelor. The simplicity of her approach, and her sincerity, made her stand out.

No, Gerry Turner, who's bravely living with cancer, didn't choose her, but she was able to get past that and try again. She's a brave and optimistic woman. On Thanksgiving, she was at her place with Chock and his kids and her own. That holiday is tough for her as her late husband John Vassos passed away on November 27, just four years ago. As she tried to enjoy the holiday with everyone, she was haunted by memories that made her sad.

Joan handled that very well, praising Chock for fixing her closet when a shelf fell. When there was a problem with her closet, she believed that her ex-husband was giving her a sign, telling her that she owned too much stuff. Joan's pulled between the past and present, and also needs to plan a future.

With a strong, devoted man by her side, and a Big Apple love nest to boot, she may just have it all. Hopefully, wedding bells will ring for The Golden Bachelorette stars before too long. It's so nice when people can overcome the challenges of life and just be happy.
