Colton Underwood is looking forward to celebrating his one-year marriage anniversary to Jordan C. Brown.
Following his reveal on The Masked Singer, the Bachelor Nation star, 32, tells PEOPLE that the pair have the festivities all planned out — and they plan to follow tradition when it comes to gifts for the special milestone.
“We're following the traditional anniversary. I think [the] first year's paper, so our gifts are going to be paper this year, whatever that means,” says Underwood. “So I have to do some homework on exactly what I'm getting him.”
He adds that they plan to take a trip down memory lane as part of their anniversary, saying, “We are doing a little romantic trip back up to Big Sur where we got engaged and we're going to exchange our paper gifts.”

He adds that they also plan to do a “baby-moon” in the future “whenever that does happen.”
The TV personality further opened up about their “private” relationship dynamic and noted that what he’s learned from his marriage so far is “just how much I needed a partner like Jordan.”
“I think having somebody who understands the work that I do and the lane that I'm in with entertainment, but not wanting to be overly present in it, I think is just so healthy,” Underwood says.
