He became engaged to fiancée Laura Byrne in April last year.
And now former Bachelor star Matty Johnson has shared some more details about their upcoming wedding.
Speaking on The Wedding Digest podcast this week, the 33-year-old revealed that not only is he in charge of planning the nuptials, but he’ll most likely be a ‘blubbering mess’ on their big day.

‘I used to work in events before The Bachelor,’ Matty said.
‘I like to fancy myself as someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to organising a gig. So I was like, “Babe, don’t worry. I’ve got this!”
He said that they thought they were going to tie the knot this year, but failed to plan anything before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Taking the lead: Matty is planning the wedding because he has professional experience in event management
‘I’m going to say it’s down to the fact that I’m very unorganised that we didn’t, but it kind of worked out in our favour though, because if we had planned to get married this year, then those plans would have been absolutely obliterated because of COVID,’ Matty said.
He said the pair are hoping to have a wedding where they can see the water or the beach, and are tossing up locations including Byron Bay or North Stradbroke Island in Queensland.
The couple, who would like to tie the knot by the end of next year, want their one-year-old daughter, Marlie-Mae, to be a flower girl.
‘I think she’ll be old enough to be able to take on the responsibility of being flower girl. I’m going to be a blubbering mess. I get, I get a little bit emotional,’ Matty said.

In terms of budget, Matty said they’re looking to spent between $40,000 and $60,000 on their wedding.
Matty and Laura met and fell in love on The Bachelor three years ago. They celebrated their third anniversary on Monday.
Matty posted two photos: one showing the couple on the dating show in 2017, and a more recent one of them with their daughter.
‘I’ll be honest, we both kinda forgot the finale happened three years ago today,’ he wrote in the caption.
‘I blame the fact that we’re still so disgustingly in love with each other it’s made our memories slightly hazy… and the fact that we’re battling extreme parental fatigue’.
They got engaged in April 2019 and welcomed their daughter in June last year.
