The former Bachelorette contestant, Chris Lambton, went down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend, former Bachelor contestant Peyton Wright, at his home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts after asking her father’s permission on June 18. Chris and Peyton are officially engaged to be married!

“He’s a Southern gentleman at heart,” Peyton said. “Right after he did it, the entire family came over and joined us for a celebration at his house.”

Chris is adorable. Peyton seems to be a good girl and capable of making him happy. The 27 year-old bride-to-be still hasn’t started planning the wedding because they really haven’t had time to think about logistics and set a date yet.

“We’re just going to enjoy being engaged for awhile and worry about that later,” she says. “Once I get over the initial shock, I think we’ll sit down and start putting together our ideas of what I like, what he likes, and what we’ve both envisioned.”

The 33 year-old previously vied for the heart of Ali Fedotowsky, while Peyton was one of Andy Baldwin’s girls in the tenth season of “The Bachelor”. Chris and Peyton did not found love in the ABC’s popular dating show, but they found each other and made good friends.

“I love her and I’m so happy to be with her,” Lambton said during a Bachelor reunion party in January. “And you know what, two good things came from this show: one, meeting Peyton and two, the strong friendships I made. I have no regrets about doing the show.”

Congratulations to the newly engaged couple!
