Victoria Fuller from Bachelor Nation has been chosen to be a part of Natalie Joy and Nick Viall's wedding party. Sharing a video on her Instagram Story on December 12, the Bachelor season 24 alum expressed her excitement and gratitude with the caption "Screaming crying throwing up" alongside the clip of Joy's gift box.
On the box lid, the question "Will you be my maid of honor?" was printed. 25-year-old Joy carefully examined the contents, which consisted of Stoney Clover bags personalized with the initials of the bridesmaids, LOOPS Beauty face masks, Brilliant Earth necklaces, Dior lip oil, and Emi Jay Inc. hair clips adorned with rhinestones and the names of the bridesmaids.
Fuller is expected to be accompanied by her longtime boyfriend Greg Grippo, who is also part of Bachelor Nation.
Viall was the runner-up on seasons 10 and 11 of The Bachelorette and later led The Bachelor in 2017. Although he got engaged to Vanessa Grimaldi in the finale, their relationship ended in August. Viall has since formed friendships with several other Bachelor alums through his "Viall Files" podcast, including Fuller (a contestant on season 24 of The Bachelor and season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise) and Grippo (a contestant on season 17 of The Bachelorette).
Ultimately, he found love not on reality TV but on social media in 2020.

"She messaged me on my DMs and it was really romantic," he revealed during a February 2021 episode of his "Viall Files" podcast, just one month after confirming their relationship on Instagram. "We continued to spend time together, and eventually she expressed her desire to date. I was unsure at first, but she was very direct about what she wanted. When she decided to pursue her own interests, I realized what I could potentially lose." Expressing his love for Joy just months before proposing, it's clear that Viall was head over heels for her.
“Interacting with people, whether it’s the friendly barista or the cashier at the grocery store, is an opportunity to make someone feel valued, and these moments are especially meaningful in a relationship,” Viall shared on We’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in October 2022. “Natalie has a way of encouraging us to address any disagreements early on, preventing them from turning into bigger conflicts. In past relationships, I often contributed to escalating minor issues, and she helps me navigate that.”

In January, they revealed their engagement. Viall expressed their eagerness to marry in an interview with E! News, saying, "We're definitely anxious to get married. We definitely didn't get engaged to have a long engagement, so it's been great. It's exciting."
The couple shared the news of Joy's pregnancy the following summer, posting maternity photos on Instagram in August and writing, "Our biggest dream came true."
