'Bachelor in Paradise': Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton, two more couples got engaged
They liked it so they put Neil Lane rings on it.
Three couples found love on Bachelor in Paradise. Amanda Stanton and Josh Murray, Lace Morris and Grant Kemp, and Carly Waddell and Evan Bass all left Mexico with souvenirs that will hopefully last a lifetime.
Before we get to their proposals, let's get to the scene that Chris Harrison probably thought was most dramatic: Nick Viall and Jen Saviano breaking up. Honestly, Nick can't be expected to make a commitment to every girl he meets on a televised dating show, right? But we're sure his season of The Bachelor is going to turn out just fine...
"I have never felt more connected with someone," Jen shared before meeting Nick. While Jen gave a long speech about how much she cared for him, Nick couldn't even look at her. When she revealed that she was falling in love with him he began sobbing.
"I felt like I wanted to say I was in love with you, but ... something in my heart just said I can't," he said. "And I feel like sometimes you wish you could tell your heart what to do, and if I could I would tell it to choose you. I just feel like something's telling me to say goodbye." Ouch.
After making a teary-eyed exit, Jen appeared on After Paradise looking exactly how we would want to look if we wanted our exes to realize they made huge mistakes. Nick didn't appear on the live after show, but Jen was told by an astrologer via phone that she did nothing wrong. So, there's that. Jen also said she was "doing good" despite having "mixed emotions" about Nick as The Bachelor.
Now, that the tough part is over let's talk about all the happy endings.
Amanda and Josh
Though Josh was worried that perhaps he and Amanda should get to know each other outside of Paradise before popping the question, he ultimately decided to propose.
"I never really knew what true love was," he said. Josh, are we talking about your former fiancée, Andi Dorfman? "I thought I did in the past, but I didn't until I met you, and this is true love."
Since getting engaged, Josh moved to be with Amanda and her two daughters in Orange County. In a short time, they've already mastered the art of the ridiculously beautiful family portrait.
Lace and Grant
When Grant woke up in their fantasy suite after an overnight date, he told Lace there was a chance he might not propose. Then, to the cameras she posed a very valid question: "Why did we get tattoos if you're just going to wake up the next morning and question if we should be engaged or not?" Uh, yeah. What she said.
Apparently, Grant felt like they hadn't had all of the conversations couples should have before getting engaged. "I feel so strongly about you, but is the logical thing to do to roll the dice and figure everything out later?"
The firefighter ended up proposing, and Lace accepted. The two now live together in San Francisco and want to get married soon.
Carly and Evan
Carly and Evan woke up after their fantasy suite all googly-eyed, and it was obvious to everyone but Carly that Evan was going to propose.
The best thing he said while asking her to spend his life with him? "I feel like my heart beats to your soul." Aw! In true Evan fashion, he asked the singer/songwriter, "Carly Waddell, will you freakin' marry me?" She said yes and plans on moving in with Evan in Dec.
And there you have it. So much pending wedded bliss without even having to check your Facebook feed. Naturally, we wish these couples the best of luck, but should anything happen, these contestants can always give Paradise another go-around. The show has been renewed for a fourth season.
