Randy Fenoli, the star of Say Yes to the Dress, surprised his fans by announcing his engagement to his partner of one year, Mete Kopal. The fashion designer and TV personality shared the happy news on Instagram, along with several photos of the romantic proposal. But who is Mete Kopal and how old is he? Here are some facts about Randy Fenoli’s fiancé.
Mete Kopal’s Age and Background
Mete Kopal is reportedly in his late 30s or early 40s, based on personal details available about his education on social media. According to his Facebook profile, he started studying mechanical engineering at Sakarya University in 2003, which indicates that he must have been around the age of 18 or 19 when he enrolled in school. If he enrolled in university at the age of 19, Mete should be either 38 or 39 years old as of 2022.
Mete graduated from Sakarya University in 2007 and went on to earn a degree in business at Anadolu University, where he studied from 2007 to 2011. He also enrolled at Hudson County Community College in September 2014 to study business.
Mete hails from Turkey and worked as a food and beverage manager at the New York hotel resort The Marmara Park Avenue. This is where he met Randy Fenoli in January 2022, before they started a romantic relationship.
Mete Kopal and Randy Fenoli’s Engagement
Randy Fenoli planned an elaborate surprise proposal for Mete Kopal months in advance, with the help of planner Marcy Blum. He told Mete that they were headed to have dinner at the Museum of Modern Art, but instead he had 50 of their friends and family waiting in the lobby of the hotel, where he got down on one knee as cold sparks lit up the room.
“I just wanted to make it really special for him and make a memory that we would have the rest of our lives,” Randy told People. He also revealed that he never thought marriage was in the cards for him before meeting Mete. “I’m the king of bridal. I’ve been doing this bridal for 30 years, and I honestly just never thought it was going to happen for me,” he said. “And I was OK with that. I was like, ‘Honestly I have my career, I have my home, I have my dog, I have my mom,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m just going to be single the rest of my life.’ And then I met Mete.”
The couple received many congratulations and well-wishes from their fans and friends, including Randy’s co-stars from Say Yes to the Dress. They have not revealed any details about their wedding plans yet, but we are sure that it will be a beautiful and memorable event.
