The beautiful home features a huge backyard, and back in August during her time off from TODAY, Hoda shared a glimpse inside the spacious area as she gave her fiancé Joel Schiffman a haircut outside.

The mother-of-two took to Instagram to share a picture of herself posing with a razor while Joel sat in the chair. The photo also gave fans a look inside the garden, which features a stone pavement and a decorative trellis, allowing for maximum privacy.

Hoda added that the ceremony will likely be "a little more intimate" than they had planned originally. "I think, just because, why would we (travel), given what's happening? And I don't know how quickly people are going to be able to travel again," she said.
