Spoiler alerts, obviously, since half the country couldn’t watch Bachelor in Paradise at it’s regularly scheduled time last night. {You’re dead to me, New York Giants. }
So if you’ve been following along all season, it’s been pretty clear all along that Marcus and Lacy “were there for the right reasons”—which include copious sun exposure and finding love in paradise. So what better way to wrap the season than with a proposal and a Neil Lane engagement ring? (I also mentioned back in July that the two were headed for engagement—since the news broke right after Marcus was booted from The Bachelorette.) Here are my engagement ring screen snaps:
And here’s a side-view look:
I’m going with a 2-carat princess-cut diamond in a square halo with a twisted band. If it is, indeed, princess cut, that would be the first princess-cut diamond Neil Lane has turned out for the Bachelor franchise in ages—possibly ever. (Here’s the most recent, Andi’s engagement ring, featuring an oval-cut diamond, if you need a refresher.)
Thoughts on Marcus and Lacy from Bachelor in Paradise’s engagement? And are you a fan of Lacy’s new engagement ring? On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you give Marcus’ proposal?
P.S. More on the finale here, if you care about the hour and 55 minutes that preceded the proposal.
