A Bachelorette no more — almost!
Katie Thurston celebrated her engagement to comedian Jeff Arcuri on Saturday, November 30.
The two threw a party at Detroit’s Oak & Reel restaurant, welcoming guests ahead of their upcoming nuptials.
Before the engagement party was revealed, Thurston, 33, posted two photos on her Instagram Story, teasing that she had actually already said “I do.”
Bachelor Nation went all out for their 2024 Halloween costumes. Rachel Recchia kicked off spooky season with a historical costume. For Halloween this year, the former Bachelorette decided to go as former Queen of England Anne Boleyn. “Don’t lose your head,” Recchia wrote via Instagram on October 25, referring to the moment when Boleyn was […]
The first photo featured a chic black welcome sign, with the words “We’re so glad you’re here. Celebrating the love of Jeff + Katie.” Above the sign was a colorful decorative flower arch.
The second Instagram photo was Thurston giving Arcuri a kiss on the cheek, both donning spectacular wedding whites. The photo, which tagged Arcuri, was captioned “Did we just get married?”
The company that created the wedding sign in the first photo, Petal and Grain Designs, solved the mystery with their own Instagram Story.
“So excited to work with @thekatiethurston for her and @jarcuri engagement party 🤍,” they captioned the photo, revealing the true nature of the party.
Katie Thurston may not have found love on reality TV, but she has finally found her person in Jeff Arcuri. In May 2024, Thurston revealed that she was “off the market” and seeing someone new. “I’m seeing somebody. I haven’t actually said this yet,” Thurston shared during an episode of the “Your Mom & Dad” […]
Thurston posted more photos from their sweet party on her account, writing “About last night 🤍” in the caption, featuring snaps of their family and friends celebrating.
Thurston’s gorgeous dress was sheer, short and white, featuring sequin embellishments. She accessorized with a large white hair bow.
The next day, Thurston shared the link to the Revolve dress, and revealed where she bought it.
“I was lucky enough to buy mine from @nordstrom for 50% off,” she wrote in the caption. She wrote that she got the dress in a size medium and that “multiple colors” were available.
The professional comedian proposed to his FBoy Island star girlfriend earlier this year, with the couple announcing the big news on Instagram September 15.
“When you know, you know 🤍🖤,” captioned Thurston on a series of engagement snaps. The last post in the carousel was a video of the engagement itself, when Arcuri popped “the question” on the beach.
Arcuri and Thurston made their relationship Instagram official back in June, featuring a sweet photo of them kissing on her account. Thurston made a cheeky nod to Bachelor Nation in her caption, writing “Safe to say he’s making it to hometowns next week ❤️.”
The post got support from fellow Bachelor alum Tayshia Adams, who commented “Katieeee😍 i love thissss♥️” on the photo.
