Frankly I don't see WTH she is doing that is keeping her so busy. She is no longer working as a lawyer, she makes occasional charity event appearances, has done some magazine interviews and photo shoots and her blog. Oh yeah...the infamous redesign of an iconic T. Other than hanging around with her friends and family, working out at the gym and spending lots of time at the mall, I can't see what makes her so busy. I see shades of Emily all over this.

In my opinion, I just don't see it any differently than what many of the other couples said or did in regards to their weddings 7 months after filming was completed and only five months of being in the public. It's not like they have said nothing about it. They've talked about quite a few things that they would want for their wedding and have referenced being up for a televised wedding a few times now.

For me at least, just because they don't post about their wedding on social media or give solidified details in interviews, it doesn't mean they aren't thinking about it. For all we know, Andi and Josh are playing the waiting game to see if they get the televised wedding or not. It's been almost two years since Des and Chris got engaged and I'm sure that maybe they wanted to get married sooner, but perhaps they too wanted to see if they were getting the televised wedding and waited a bit. To me, when it wasn't looking like they would get one, they moved on and did their own thing, which is incredibly awesome and it's going to be beautiful. I'm excited for pictures!

Andi and Josh could be doing the same thing, which couples from here on out with the franchise will have to do because now more couples are lasting. The weddings won't be a guarantee. If this is the case for Andi and Josh, what are they supposed to say when interviewers are asking about their wedding? I would think "we're too busy to plan right now" or "nothing is set in stone in regards to plans" are pretty decent answers IMO.

Well said.

Love it.
I see a lot of Emily, also. Only Emily 2.0 --educated and childless.  
The franchise should have started a doll line a long time ago. They shop! They go out to eat! They primp for the camera!

Chris and Des had originally said they'd like to get married in August 2014. We now know the wedding will be mid January 2015. That's just an example of how the dates get pushed back, and that's JMHO on why I think a May wedding for A/J doesn't seem possible. I could be totally wrong, but if they haven't signed on the dotted line yet for a televised wedding, IMO the dates will be pushed back until they either get fed up with waiting or they have a definite date.

They may have signed on the dotted line, and it will be announced tonight. They may go with their original plan of May/June.

I'm hoping CH asks them a wedding related question. Personally, if they wait another year or so, I see nothing wrong with that. Once Chris' season is over and a new 'ette is announced, her bubble will be bursting with limited appearances, and that's when real life will begin. It happens to all the leads.

I have been just hanging out in the fan threads, so it's nice to find this discussion thread to keep things interesting!

Here are my thoughts on a wedding for Andi & Josh. I am skeptical that they have been given the green light on a televised wedding and I too have a feeling they have been waiting to see if they get one. But I also don't think Josh wants to wait much longer and I do believe that they will marry in 2015, televised or not. There have been subtle hints to this. Momma Murray has stated on her FB that there will be one Murray wedding in 2015 and one in 2016. We now know Aaron and Kacie are scheduled to wed in April, 2016. Kacie favorited a comment on FB alluding to Josh and Andi marrying in 2015 but withholding the date from the public for now. Josh has stated in an interview he would be a married man by summer 2015.

It's also known that Josh's sister Stephanie will be graduating from UGA on May 8th. That definitely puts a wrinkle into JODI's original plans to marry on May 9th, their one year anniversary. It seems some people took the announcement that they were pushing it back to late spring or early summer to mean that they were just delaying getting married and weren't serious about it. But it appears, atleast in this case, to be more about timing around another major family event.

Despite what many have said, Andi & Josh do a lot of things without announcing it to the world or posting it on SM. There is plenty going on in their lives that the general public is not aware of. Also, Andi is a self professed "planner", so I believe that wedding planning is definitely under way, they are just keeping it to themselves. They certainly have had plenty of family time recently to discuss details such as guest list etc. and although Andi allegedly didn't try on any dresses at Kleinfeld NY, whose to say she hasn't elsewhere?

These are just my opinions, but I have a real strong sense about these two. I have only felt this way about a few other couples in this franchise, Trista & Ryan, Ashley & JP, and Sean & Catherine, and I feel even more confident about Andi & Josh being truly in love and totally committed to spending the rest of their lives together.

Totally agree. You summed it up perfectly! Thank you.

I have asked in a different thread but got no answer, so I am asking in Andi's discussion thread:
Who from Andi's season has came to visit them?

^ I'm guessing you mean what guys from the season has come to visit them? Why would guys from the season fly down to Atlanta to visit the couple? Josh has said in interviews post show and fairly recently too that he was closest to Marcus, Cody and Chris and has remained in touch with the three of them and spoke to Chris with Andi before he left for filming. Judging by social media posts on Twitter and IG, Brian seems to be on friendly terms too with Josh and Andi.

^If they are such good friends with Marcus and others, how come they don't hang out post show? Don't friends visit each other from time to time?
Just curious.

ITA Sprite.

^ I don't know, I haven't really seen any of the guys hang out with each other in the past few months - other than Dylan and Brian seeing each other a couple of times. Perhaps it would be awkward that the guy would have to fly down to Atlanta and stay in a hotel considering Andi and Josh live together in the same apartment and this guy would have once dated Andi. Considering Josh was closest to Marcus and Cody, who filmed BIP and Marcus got engaged and Cody uprooted his life to move to Utah with Michelle for six months maybe Marcus and Cody were a little busy. Not to mention Chris was filming a show.

To be honest, in most cases when it comes to the guys, they reunite at premieres like tonight. I find girls to be a bit different when it comes to forming friendships on the show.
