Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes Won’t Marry Soon – Here’s Why 

Katie Thurston made it clear to her suitors that she expected an engagement at the end of The Bachelorette. Her demands were met when Blake Moynes dropped to one knee to propose to her. She happily accepted. 

However, fans shouldn’t hope for a wedding any time soon. Katie shared a screenshot on her Instagram Stories of a text thread with her sister. Her sister asked “how soon” Katie and Blake plan to marry. 

In her response to her sister, Katie wrote, “Not soon at all.” Why not? Because “he’s Canadian.” 

What does Blake’s nationality have to do with marriage? A lot. According to Katie, the couple has “a lot to work through” before they get married. 

Katie did, however, agree with her sister’s assessment that Blake is hot. “Yea, he is,” Katie said.

Will the couple live in Canada or the U.S.? That’s one of the issues that Katie and Blake likely need to work through before marriage. Katie recently spent some time in the Toronto area with Blake. 

However, she is in the process of moving from Washington to San Diego, California. Us Weekly reports that Blake will join her in the U.S. “in a few weeks.” For how long is anyone’s guess.
