The former reality star always publicly gushed about how much she adored Bernon. However, she wasn't always keen on walking down the aisle. "I don't want to build a wedding," she explained in a July 2023 interview.
"I love my life. I love my fiancé. He’s an amazing life partner and I don’t want to sign a contract with someone I love. I don’t want to plan a massive wedding for everybody else and not [do] what we want. I like doing what you want, not what society wants you to do," Frankel added.
