"He read me the most beautiful poem, because I love poetry, and I started choking up," Hope told PEOPLE at the time. "He then told me to close my eyes and turn the other way 'cause he had to 'set something up.' Then he comically fumbled behind me to distract me from what he was really doing — and when I turned around, he was on his knee!"
The YATR star said the proposal was unexpected, but "better than I ever imagined!" She added: "He's so romantic, so when he planned a picnic I wasn't too thrown off."

"I was very excited," Duell added. "I had a strong feeling she'd say yes, but I was naturally a little nervous. I also just really hoped she liked the ring."
The couple, who began dating in 2016, has been looking forward to spending their lives together as they planned their nuptials. "I am so excited for so much about our future," Hope shared.

"Just getting to create memories forever, our future children and family, the places we'll travel and all the laughs we'll have makes me so thrilled to think about. I enjoy every day with him, so each present moment is beyond fulfilling," she added.
"It's fun to say fiancée and plan a wedding," Duell said. "It's a whole new step and a lot of excitement for our future. I get to call her my wife! I'm excited for a lot: our future kids, new adventures, a new home and having my best friend to grow old with."
