Ever since getting back together, Arie, 36, and Lauren have been talking about a wedding. While they’ve discussed TV nuptials they’re also considering eloping. “We want to get married soon,” Lauren said on a conference call on Wednesday, March 7. "We've thrown a lot of idea out there but I think I would like to have some of my friends from the show on there, I think Arie would too.”

The pair are also planning to hit the road again soon on a getaway. “We're going on a little vacation and then when we come back, Arie and I are going to be packing up my things,” the tech salesperson said following the finale. She’ll then make the move to Arizona.

The first activity the pair is doing is traveling … then just settling in together. "I think she needs to find her way a little bit in Arizona and I think that's the first big step,” Arie told reporters.

After being broken up with on the finale, Lauren returned home to her family in Virginia Beach, so she obviously had some hesitations about taking him back. “We definitely had a conversation about them,” she said Tuesday during Jimmy Kimmel Live. “[My family] support anything I do. They are very happy for us."

Regardless of the drama that came along with it, Arie says he’s happy with the end result of the show. "Everyone is so mad. I was just freaking out and obviously I knew that there would be some backlash. But it’s worth it,” he told Kimmel, referring to his break up with Becca Kufrin on the finale — he proposed to her, then blindsided her by ending it and going back to Lauren. "I’m so in love with her and I’m happy. It was worth it.”
