The reality star added that she has noticed a shift in the couple's relationship since tying the knot.

"Thankfully, we are always together when we are in the same place but having those uninterrupted mini date nights together is super important and something we look forward to," she continued.

Following their big day in May, Fletcher told PEOPLE that having kids is a priority.
"We were supposed to get married in 2020 and then we were going to wait a year or two before having kids," she said at the time. "Now that we've had the couple of years, I think the conversation of starting to plan our family is at the forefront of our lives. I'm a new aunt and Jordan is about to be a new uncle and the idea of kids is something that's really exciting to me."

"It would have been very easy in the first year to just do it and get married," Rodgers said. "We could have pulled the trigger. But instead, we worked on our relationship until the point that we were absolutely ready for a wedding."
"The evolution of our relationship from start to finish has been crazy," Fletcher added. "There were ups and downs and difficult moments. But we've grown and we've evolved. Time has been our friend and it's made us even stronger."
