Andi said that the way Blaine popped the question was “really great and intimate.”

“Blaine told me he made dinner reservations and asked if I wanted to do sunset cocktails on the beach, which is something we do all the time here in L.A.,” the 34-year-old reality star said.

“We get down to our spot, pour some wine, walked toward the water and when I turned around, he was on one knee,” she continued. “I don’t even remember what he said, I just remember hugging him and crying. I didn’t even remember seeing the ring at first. And then after, the best part was, he told me instead of dinner we were going to stay the night at Hotel Bel-Air. So we drove home to pack a bag and when I opened the door to our home, both of our families and my closest friends were there to surprise me. That’s when I really started bawling.”

Andi added, “My nephew and niece were there and came running up to us. It was adorable. And turns out, Blaine had been planning with our families and my friends for a month to get it all organized and I had absolutely no clue!”

The couple also went to pick out the ring together before the proposal, using the same jeweler who made the ring for Andi‘s mom nearly 40 years ago.

“I love that it is more traditional with the halo and split shank but mostly, I love that I look at it — and as cheesy as it sounds — it symbolizes so much love and happiness,” she said. “I love, too, that Blaine visited my parents in Atlanta to ask both of them for their blessing and even called my sister to ask for hers as well. That just epitomizes the kind of man Blaine is.”

As for their wedding plans, Andi said, “I think we would love to do a wedding in Italy where we rekindled our relationship last summer.”

“I’ll be honest, the idea of planning a wedding is overwhelming for me but I joke with Blaine that I want to play the role of the groom during the wedding process and maybe he can narrow every option down to three and I’ll choose from there,” she added. “We’ll see if that happens.”

Andi competed on Juan Pablo Galavis‘ season of The Bachelor in 2014. During her time on the Bachelorette, Andi got engaged to winner Josh Murray. The pair announced their split in 2015.

She told People that privacy has been an important part of her relationship with Blaine.

“I wanted to protect Blaine a bit from the world of the public eye and I didn’t want that to play a role in our relationship,” she explained. “But it’s fun for me to share it now, and it makes me feel really good to see that people are truly happy that I finally found love.”

She went on to say that their relationship has been “completely different” to those of her past. “Not only do we love each other tremendously, but we like being with each other,” Andi shared. “We both just want to make the other happy and in turn our relationship is a lot of fun. That’s the word I’d use to describe our relationship: fun.”

“It’s not about it being easy or hard — that’s not our barometer,” she said. “I knew Blaine was different and I remember just hoping that the shoe wouldn’t drop and this was the real deal and it turned out it was!”
