Considering her marriage proposal deviated from the societal norm, fans have been wondering if Becca will adopt a similar untraditional approach and allow cameras to film her wedding.
"I don't think we would have it televised," Becca, 32, told Entertainment Tonight. "I think we would just want to keep it more intimate and personal between us."
Becca revealed that she'd like her ceremony and reception to be private after experiencing Chris Randone and Krystal Nielson's wedding, which had been filmed in June 2020.
"I went to Chris and Krystal's wedding in the past for Paradise and it was a disaster," Becca admitted.
Becca apparently attended Chris and Krystal's nuptials after the couple got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise's fifth season, which aired in 2018.
While Becca didn't provide details on why Chris and Krystal's wedding was a "disaster," the pair split only eight months after saying "I do."
"I can never say no because every time I say, 'No, definitely not,' something ends up happening," Becca joked with ET, "so we'll see, but I don't think [a TV wedding] is in the cards for us."
Becca also noted how two televised -- and broken -- engagements is "enough" for her.
Becca had her heart broken by former race car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. shortly after they filmed The Bachelor's 22nd season. The finale, which aired in early 2018, featured Arie getting down on one knee and popping the question.
Arie unexpectedly dumped Becca and called off their engagement because he realized he was still in love with his runner-up, Lauren Burnham, who is now his wife and the mother of his three children.

Becca also had a very public breakup with her The Bachelorette 14 winner Garrett Yrigoyen in Fall 2020. Becca and Garrett split just about two years after Garrett's marriage proposal aired on the ABC reality series.
Becca is hoping the third time will be the charm with Thomas, whom she said is her first fiance she has truly wanted to marry.
But a wedding still seems a little far off for Thomas and Becca considering they "have an outline" but "nothing" is set in stone yet in terms of wedding plans, according to Becca.
"We're just enjoying this moment, and living in the engagement bliss, and enjoying being able to say fiance," Becca shared.
"I'm sure very soon, in probably the next couple months, we'll start to actually plan and sit down and figure out what it will all look like."
She added, "I'm not a planner. I just hate to plan anything and so I'm like, 'Thomas, you can take the reins here.'"
Becca gushed about how she's "so excited" about her future with Thomas, noting, "Our families are so supportive and that's really all that matters to us."

Thomas -- who previously noted how Becca wants an elongated cushion-cut diamond ring and he could see himself proposing by the end of 2022 -- recently suggested he may have already purchased a ring for Becca.
Thomas teased on an April episode of the "Click Bait with Bachelor Nation" podcast, "Am I aware if I have one in a safety lockbox in my bedroom? I don't know, time will tell. We'll have to find that one out later on this year."

He also confirmed of the potential marriage proposal, "I don't have a full plan yet, but I know it's going to be small and intimate. There will be a camera. I'll have a photographer, but the last thing that I want for Becca is to have another grand spectacle."
Becca and Thomas plan to live in New York City for a few months this year and then settle down in San Diego, CA, long-term.
Thomas told Hollywood Life in November 2021 that he was pretty sold on marrying Becca because they have "the most healthy, normal relationship"
During an October episode of the "Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation" podcast, Thomas gushed of Becca, "I don't want to spend my life with anybody else... I wouldn't want to wake up next to anybody else."
On Bachelor in Paradise's seventh-season finale, Becca was shown breaking up with Thomas and crushing his heart before overnight Fantasy Suite dates because, despite having "an incredible start" to a relationship, Becca didn't want to leave The Bachelor franchise for the third time with a man unless she knew everything about him, including how he'd face adversity and real-life challenges.
However, the finale concluded with an update on Becca and Thomas' relationship, revealing how they had reunited after filming ended and were dating, "happy and in love."
During Becca and Thomas' appearance on "Talking It Out" last year, Becca revealed she's the one who tracked down Thomas' phone number and initiated their reunion.
"After we ended things, I think I waited a couple days. I didn't have my phone right away and he didn't have his phone right away, so I think I gave it two days," Becca said.

Becca said she met up with Thomas in San Diego and they picked up right where they had left off, and Thomas told Hollywood Life that he had no hesitation or reservations about giving Becca another chance.
Becca also boasted about how Thomas is different from her past relationships because he's so passionate about a life with her and was prepared to fight "tooth and nail" to save their romance.
"He is so supportive and he's just funny and quirky in the cutest ways. Everything about him, I just felt safe with, unlike anything I had in the past. I was just like, 'This guy is my guy,'" Becca gushed.
Becca even told her mother last year, not long after Paradise ended, that she wanted to marry Thomas.
Becca admitted at the time, "It's the first time I've ever actually said that out loud."
Since the pair began dating in the real world, Becca has defended Thomas and stood up for their relationship on more than one occasion considering he had been portrayed as a villain on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette.
The Bachelorette's upcoming nineteenth season starring Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia is set to premiere Monday, July 11 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC, and the women's bachelors were already announced earlier this month.
Bachelor in Paradise is also going to return with its eighth season, hosted by Jesse Palmer, on Tuesday, September 27 at 8PM ET/PT and air twice weekly on ABC.
