“Summer House” stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula have not picked a wedding venue, but they are certain on the region where their nuptials will take place.
“It’ll be on the East Coast,” Batula, 28, told Page Six at The Pink Agenda Gala in New York on Thursday. “We’re close to signing a venue and solidifying a date, and then the rest of the planning will follow.”
Cooke, 37, and Batula had a rocky relationship before getting engaged last Labor Day Weekend.
The pair dated for two years, and Cooke admitted on Season 3 of “Summer House” that he cheated on Batula just months before proposing.
The bride-to-be now says she is “very behind” on wedding planning and has not even decided on a dress.
“My Instagram saved categories for weddings is extremely long,” she said, adding that she hasn’t decided which castmates will be bridesmaids. “We’ll see after I see how this season airs,” Batula teased.
The couple has tried to lock in a venue, but Cooke said it didn’t work out twice before.
“One of the venues we actually looked at was in Vermont, which is very near and dear to my heart,” he told us. “It’s where my mom’s from, so she was willing to play ball, but that’s actually the one we got cold feet on. [Another] we missed the deadline on — a corporate event took it.”
However, Cooke said a friend advised that a long engagement was “the best thing” he ever did, so the reality star is optimistic about the fact they are taking their time.
Cooke then joked that “Vanderpump Rules” pals Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark, who got engaged in July, will likely tie the knot before they do.
“For all I know, [they] will get married before we do,” Cooke said. “I saw them doing engagement photos, I was like, ‘Yo, are we going to do that?’”
Batula added, “Stassi is very on top of things.”
