"I never imagined a love like this was possible until I met you. Wilson Nugent, I love you more than anything and I can't wait to be your WIFE!!" Brooklyn captioned her post.

Wilson apparently popped the question underneath a big tree while surrounded by white roses and white candles in the grass. He also had a bottle of champagne on ice waiting to be popped after Brooklyn said "yes."

Congratulatory messages poured in from Bachelor Nation, especially Brooklyn's pals from The Bachelor's 27th season and Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season.

"Omg!!!! So happy for you beautiful girl! You're literally stunning," Kylee Russell commented.

"UGH!!! Crying... Congratulations Brooklyn!!" wrote Jess Girod. "This is such a beautiful proposal + moment. So happy for you!!!"

"Congrats Brooklyn!!! I'm so happy for you. You're glowing," gushed Gabi Elnicki.

And Charity Lawson chimed in, "Congrats brookie!!!! So happy you found your person + endless happiness. She's gonna be a wifey!"

Brooklyn hard launched her relationship with the Texas cowboy, who was sporting a black cowboy hat and vest in the engagement photos, in October 2023.

"Who knew I'd never have to leave Gilmer, TX to be in Paradise," Brooklyn wrote alongside sweet photos with Wilson.

Brooklyn was among 18 bachelors and bachelorettes who arrived on the Paradise beach looking for love on Day 1 when Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season premiered in September 2023.

Brooklyn said on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast in September 2023 that she had been hoping to "end up engaged" on the ABC spinoff, but the blonde beauty was sent packing during the first Rose Ceremony of the season.

Brooklyn had failed to make a strong enough connection in the first few days of Bachelor in Paradise to receive a rose from one of the men.

"I didn't want to force anything that wasn't real," Brooklyn said on the podcast.

"I wanted to stay true to myself heading into Paradise, and then once I got there, you know, I could literally test the waters and see how it is. I feel like I just wanted to follow my heart and be true to myself at Paradise."

Brooklyn found fame on Zach Shallcross' season of The Bachelor, which aired on ABC earlier that year.

Following her stint on The Bachelor's 27th season, Brooklyn -- an Oklahoma native -- recalled dating "a little bit" but "not much" after she returned home to "the middle of nowhere" Texas, where she held down a job as a real estate agent.

"I moved back home... and dating was a little different," Brooklyn told Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt during her podcast appearance. "I wasn't really sure how to navigate [the dating world] because it's a lot different, dating after being on the show."

Brooklyn admitted she "kind of tried" dating but didn't really take anything too seriously since she knew Paradise was right around the corner.

"I was like, 'No, I'm just going to try to keep my distance so that I can be completely open to the idea and the experience,'" Brooklyn shared, adding how she had a lot of men in her DMs prior to Paradise.

Brooklyn joked about how her DMs were "popping" and she found them a little overwhelming.

"I was like, 'That's enough,'" Brooklyn said with a laugh. "I think there was one from [The Bachelor franchise] but that was it... I didn't respond, so I'll be nice [and not expose him]."

Brooklyn, an outspoken bachelorette best remembered for her tough exterior but warm heart, said she was so thankful to have received a lot of support from The Bachelor fans during her run on the show, especially after she shared the story about having escaped a past abusive relationship.

"It was really empowering to see all of the support," Brooklyn acknowledged. "I had a lot of positive DMs, but there's always a few crazy negative ones. For the most part, it was all good."

After Zach eliminated Brooklyn on The Bachelor, she told Us Weekly that she felt "blindsided."

"However, you know, having time reflect after that, I do feel like I got the closure I needed, and I respect him for it, truly. While I did feel blindsided in the moment, I respect his decision," Brooklyn said in March 2023.

Brooklyn had told the cameras on the show how she was "falling in love" with Zach and could picture herself "spending the rest of my life" with him.

"When you have feelings that strong, they don't ever go away," Brooklyn confessed at the time. "He's a great guy, but you know, if anyone ever has any doubts about me, that's not someone I truly want to be with."

Zach ended up selecting Kaity Biggar as his The Bachelor winner, and the couple is still happily engaged and living together in Austin, TX.
