Two years later, the couple, wholive together in Miami, is getting ready for their upcoming nuptials and will marry in a private, destination wedding this month.
And to kick off the festivities in honor of their big day, the pair recently showcased their love and registry atThe Knot‘s Registry House in Southhampton, New York.
“It’s exciting to see when the bride and groom go through the registry, they’re like, ‘Oh, we don’t need anything,’ but then once they actually start going through it, they’re like, ‘Oh, we need this and this and this,’ so it’s pretty funny to see all of their selects when you didn’t think you would have that many,” he said, noting how the couple’s registry reflects their aesthetic with items such as monogrammed robes, dining decor and doormats, along with other household items like the covetedDyson Cord-Free Vacuum.

Lindsay even mentioned how one of her registry selections — theVitamix Explorian E310 Blender— can potentially help her prep when she enters motherhood in the future.
“We like smoothies and we like to juice, but the Vitamix takes things to a whole other level, and then as I just learned, a lot of mothers puree food with the Vitamix, so I do want kids,” she shared. “That’s in the very near future, you know? God willing, everything works out okay, so this is just another thing we can use for that as well.”
“I don’t cook. This is not a secret,” she admitted, explaining that there is a full pot and pan set on her registry. “We don’t even have a pot and pan set. It’s ridiculous. It’s like they always disappear. I don’t know why.”

With their registry partnership, Lindsay and Abasolo also chose to participate inThe Knot Gifts Back,where the wedding site will donate up to three percent from each registry gift purchased to the Alzheimer’s Association — a cause the bride is personally connected to.
In addition to The Knot’s Southhampton soiree, the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. celebrated their impending wedding in June with aromantic engagementphoto shoot in New York City. The pre-wedding photos came just weeks after theypicked out wedding bands togetherduring a trip to visit jeweler Neil Lane, who also designed Lindsay’s 3-carat engagement ring.
“I knew which ring I wanted the second Neil took out the display,” Abasolo told PEOPLE. “It just stuck out right away and I immediately went with my gut. On the other hand, Rachel wanted to try on every ring in the store!”
