The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos Reveals If She Had A Great Time In Kansas With Chock Chapple Amid Signs They'll Get Married Soon

The Golden Bachelorette couple Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple spent New Year's in Chock's hometown of Wichita, Kansas, and Joan revealed if she "had the best time" there. Joan, who's from Rockville, Maryland, and Chock had spent time in his home state for his hometown date during The Golden Bachelorette season 1. However, they didn't go to his house for the date but, rather, to his friend's ranch. This New Year's trip was the first time that Joan had visited Chock's home since they met, which is good because they're showing signs that they might get married soon.

In an Instagram post, Joan shared a carousel of photos of her time with Chock in Wichita. They included cute pictures of the happy couple engaged in various activities in Chock's hometown, group shots with his friends, and a photo documenting Joan's hilarious and successful mission to match all 396 pairs of Chock's unmatched socks. Joan captioned the post, "Had the best time starting the new year in Kansas with @chockchapple! Headed back to see my kids and grandkids but will miss my new friends in Wichita #ChocksSocks #thegoldenbachelorette."

What Joan Vassos Having The "Best Time" With Chock Means For Relationship

It's A Good Sign That Joan Liked Kansas

When Joan became the star of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, she made it clear that she'd never leave her family, which consists of her four adult children, her three grandchildren, her 92-year-old mother, and her mother-in-law, who's her late husband John's mom. During their final date, Chock asked Joan to move to New York City with him, and she agreed. However, they also decided to keep their homes in Maryland and Kansas.

It's a good sign for Joan and Chock's relationship that Joan had the best time with him in Wichita for the New Year's holiday. After spending Thanksgiving and Christmas at home with her family, Chock, and Chock's two adult children, she was able to leave her own family for a while to travel to Wichita, which hopefully showed her that it's possible for her to take short trips without them to Chock's hometown.

The caption of Joan's post indicated that she was ready to return to her family, but she was also able to focus on Chock. She always had a wonderful time with him during The Golden Bachelorette, from their first date in Disneyland to their final date in Bora Bora, where they got engaged. Now their desire to build a home together indicates that they might get married soon.

Our Take On Joan Vassos & Chock Chapple Spending New Year’s In Kansas

Joan & Chock Are Going To Have To Continue To Compromise

In order to make their relationship work, Joan and Chock need to compromise about where to spend their time, especially during the holidays. It's interesting to note that The Golden Bachelorette finale aired on November 13, but Joan didn't visit Chock's home until New Year's. This was because they had spent a lot of time with her family, which was only fair because it was her season, and her intentions about not leaving them were made clear from the beginning.

However, in order for their relationship to truly work, Joan and Chock are going to have to make the time to travel to each other's hometowns, plus their new place in New York City. It might be difficult at first, but they can make it work. If they do get married sooner rather than later, it'll be intriguing to see which city they make their permanent home. Wherever they end up living, Joan and Chock continue to prove that The Golden Bachelorette worked for them and that they're the perfect couple.
