Hannah was unceremoniously dismissed from Below Deck Med after season five, but she quickly set sail on a new adventure: motherhood. She and Josh welcomed Ava in 2020, shortly after they celebrated their two-year anniversary.
Now, Ava is nearly two years old herself. “She’s just started speaking, which is so cute,” Hannah said, revealing that her first word was “bubbles.”
But being the parent of a young daughter while planning a wedding (and running the Ocean International Training Academy!) isn’t easy. Hannah described her days as “hectic,” adding, “We had, basically, a disaster wedding planner who took on our wedding and then did nothing for six weeks. So this whole wedding has been planned in the last four weeks.”
Yes, four weeks. Hannah noted that Josh initially wanted to “scale it all back,” but she didn’t want to give up on her dream wedding. Luckily, she quickly found a new planner and together, their “sheer determination” started making things happen.
The reception was ultimately held at Hannah and Josh’s home. Some of her former Below Deck Med co-stars were in attendance, including Anastasia Surmava, who recently got engaged herself.
