Jasmine took to Instagram on December 18 and posted a video of her man getting down on one knee and proposing marriage.
Jasmine captioned her post with several wedding and engagement-themed emojis as well as the following hashtags: #Engaged #Fiance #JustSaidYes #HePutARingOnIt #ForeverAndAlways #LoveOfMyLife #EngagementExcitement #MyForever #TogetherForever #GettingHitched #NextChapter #WeddingDreams #SoInLove #LoveStory #FromThisMomentOn #EngagementSeason #FullVideoWillBeOnYoutube."
Jasmine, a former beauty pageant queen, set her post to "Why I Love You" by MAJOR.
In the video, it appeared Jasmine's fiance had rented out a banquet room of some sort. In front of three Christmas trees, he set out a black carper covered in red rose petals and a large lit-up "MARRY ME" sign.
The room was filled with Jasmine's friends and family, and when she entered the room, she cried.
Each person handed Jasmine a red rose before she met her boyfriend on the carpet, who then whispered her a speech and got down on one knee to present her with an engagement ring.
Jasmine clearly said yes and hugged and kissed her future husband.
Jasmine's Married at First Sight season aired in 2023 and featured her marrying Airris Williams.
Although Jasmine and Airris got along beautifully and bonded during the experiment, Airris lacked a physical connection with Jasmine, and so he chose not to sleep with her during the process.
When Airris and Jasmine met with the Married at First Sight experts first on Decision Day, the experts were shocked to hear that they both wanted a divorce, especially since Airris thought Jasmine was an impressive, wonderful and supportive woman.

Airris explained there was "a lot of good" in his marriage but he needed more than that.
Airris said he imagined being more smitten with his wife and having more intimacy -- but he never revealed what about Jasmine supposedly turned him off out of respect for her, expect for the fact Jasmine didn't have the body type he was used to seeing in the women he dated prior.
Although Jasmine felt rejected during the experiment, she announced how she's a beautiful "bad b-tch" and it takes "two people" to make a marriage work.
When Pastor Calvin Roberson asked the couple if they discovered any dealbreakers, Airris said it was self-love for him. Airris shared how he loves himself and he wants his partner to feel the same way about herself.
Jasmine, who seemed taken aback by the revelation, asked, "You don't think I love myself?"
Airris admitted Jasmine tended to shut down during the experiment and not show her true colors. Jasmine insisted she loved herself, and so Airris said they could "agree to disagree."
Airris said he didn't think Jasmine was insecure but he wants a wife who "loves the hell out of herself."
Jasmine then snapped at Airris for having "commitment issues." She said Airris was used to ghosting women and leaving relationships was his "norm."

"And I don't think he's in a place where he can fully commit to the marriage. I don't really think he was ready to be married. I don't think at any point in the process I truly got that effort from him."
After the couple's meeting with the experts, Airris said he simply thought a marriage could be better than what he had with Jasmine and he was looking forward to marital sex in the future.
As for Jasmine, she didn't regret doing the experiment, and she told the cameras that she was even more ready to be married than before and hopefully her Mr. Right would come find her.
By the time the reunion special filmed, Jasmine revealed that she was in a new relationship, but it's unclear if her current fiance was that man.
"He's known me for a while. After I went through all of this, he messaged me and he asked me out -- and we're happy!" Jasmine said during the June 2023 episode, adding that she had decided to keep his face off-camera.
