Randy is Engaged - Winter/Spring 2023

Randy said “Yes” to Love!

The TLC star popped the question to Mete Kobal, his partner of a year, on Saturday at the Marmara Park Avenue hotel in New York City Florida Bride and New York Bride Magazine has a long history with Randy and we were thrilled to hear the great news!

“I’m so in love,” Fenoli tells Florida Bride. “Every day I’m giddy. And every day just gets more amazing. It really does. It’s easy. It’s nothing like what I thought a relationship was and nothing like I’ve ever had in the past. It’s unbelievable.”

Fenoli had an elaborate surprise proposal for Kobal months in advance with the help of planner Marcy Blum.

“Randy’s vision was over-the-top, lush décor, a big wow moment and all his family and friends in one room to celebrate his proposal to Mete,” says Blum. “He really wanted to surprise Mete with a beautiful moment for him to remember always. Randy and I have been friends forever and I’m so delighted to be creating his perfect proposal for him. As anyone who knows Randy either personally or from television knows, ‘understated’ is not in his vocabulary. With the help of our friends at Mixed Greens Event Design, we crafted an over-the-top, yet exquisitely romantic setting for him to propose.

Fenoli told Kobal that they were headed to have dinner at the Museum of Modern Art, but instead he had 50 of their friends and family waiting in the lobby of the hotel where he got down on one knee.

“I just wanted to make it really special for him and make a memory that we would have the rest of our lives,” he says. “I’m the king of bridal. I’ve been doing this bridal for 30 years, and I honestly just never thought it was going to happen for me,” he says.
