Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko are going strong!

While stepping out together to the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday, March 17, the Bachelorette couple spoke exclusively to PEOPLE how about their relationship has evolved since leaving the show — and gave a little update on their wedding plans.

Lawson, 29, and Olubeko, 32, shared that they are taking their time with wedding planning as they want to get the details just right.

“We’re just not in a significant rush because … the last few months have been just a lot in terms of figuring out logistics for us,” Lawson says. “So we’re just taking it day by day. We want it to be super meaningful, and I think that’s really important, especially with how we met.”

“We’re doing two weddings,” she continues. “So planning these things, it takes a lot of time and effort and, yeah, we want to do it right.”

Lawson told PEOPLE in August 2023 — shortly after the couple got engaged in The Bachelorette‘s season 20 finale episode — that they would have a standard American wedding and also a traditional Nigerian ceremony to honor Olubeko’s heritage.

At the time, she said they had not yet settled on a wedding date as she joked, “We’re not really trying to have a super incredibly 17-year length engagement. We obviously came here to find love, and we have successfully done that. So [we’re] super happy to get our lives started.”

After their time on The Bachelorette, Olubeko and Lawson had a few things to discover about each other and how they mesh as a couple. Once their whirlwind TV experience was over, they learned “how much work it takes,” Olubeko told PEOPLE at Monday’s event.

Describing the show as “sort of a speed course,” he says that once the cameras were gone, the pair had a chance to reveal new sides of themselves to each other.

“Just like how goofy we are, how silly we are, all the things that you don’t get the opportunity to show while you’re on the show because you don’t have time,” Olubeko explains. “Getting to know those little quirks about people and fall in love with that.”

Lawson then chimes in, “Yeah, he gave the lighthearted version of it, and I’ll give the serious. I think obviously, like he said, the show was a crash course to some degree. But us moving in with each other and being in the same living quarters, that definitely is an adjustment, which everyone goes through.”

“I think just learning the things that we didn’t get to see again on this show that we see when living with each other,” she continues, noting that she’s had to adjust to the fact that her fiancé is “a night owl.”

“I am a night owl too — but not as night owl as him,” she says with a laugh.
