Emily Maynard concluded this season of "The Bachelorette" by accepting a marriage proposal from Jef Holm. The 27-year-old entrepreneur was one of the final two contestants left and vied for her hand against Arie Luyendyk, Jr.
The two solidified their relationship on a date to Holm's hometown and he proposed to her in Curacao. Speaking of that fateful date she said:
"I love so many things about Jef," she said after that date. "I love that he is so humble, but still confident and kind of cocky, which is such a contradiction, but it feels perfect inside my heart, and that's what really matters to me. Perfect."
It was a tough decision for the single mom, however, who also spoke on her love for Arie after one of their dates:
"When I think about what my life would look like with Arie, I know before anything else, that I would be with someone that would just adore me, forever, and that would just always make me feel so good about myself," she said.
