Elsewhere during her Two Ts in a Pod appearance, Scott shared a few details about her and Dobson's wedding plans, revealing that the couple is aiming to tie the knot in her home country of New Zealand in early 2026."We wanna do a long engagement. So it won't be this summer, it will be next summer, which will be February 2026, which I know sounds like a long time away," she said, explaining that they have a lot of American family and friends who will be traveling far for the occasion."So we just wanna give everyone a long enough time that they can save and apply for time off work and all of that and turn that into a holiday," she continued.Their vision for the big day, she said, is an outdoor ceremony by the sea. "Cliffside looking out at the ocean, the wind in my hair," Scott shared. "Just very, very wholesome outdoorsy kind of wedding, but big and beautiful."

The podcast conversation also turned to another recent wedding in the Bravo family. Scott's Below Deck Mediterranean costar Captain Sandy Yawn married her longtime partner Leah Shafer on May 11, and Scott was among the guests."It was beautiful. It was in true Sandy style on a superyacht," she recalled of the nuptials."It was my first time on a superyacht as a guest sipping champagne, which was exciting," Scott jokingly added, referring to her job as chief stew on the reality series, which sees her waiting on a succession of VIP guests during charters.
