Dylan Barbour & Hannah Godwin Celebrate 1-Year Engagement Anniversary
Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin have reached a milestone in their fairy-tale romance.
The couple celebrated the one-year anniversary of their engagement, which occurred on Season 6 of "Bachelor in Paradise." Hannah and Dylan each commemorated the day on social media by posting several photos from their year together, both on the show and their lives afterwards.
Dylan captioned his Instagram slideshow, "happy 1 year anniversary to me telling you how f’d you are for agreeing to marry me ❤️ 💍"
His photos include the moment after his proposal as he carries her towards the water in Mexico, sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower, kissing under a surfboard, and more.

Hannah’s tribute to her fiancé included lots of videos, such as them dancing on Halloween, driving around together, and being goofy. She wrote, "what a whirlwind. thanks for the most epic year of my life @dylanbarbour. I never knew I could be so happy, to many more!"
Dylan and Hannah’s love story was one of the most talked-about relationships during their season of "Paradise." Dylan arrived on the beach in Mexico with his mind and heart set on Hannah. The Alabama native, however, juggled other interested men before gravitating to Dylan for good.

They fell more and more in love over the course of the next few weeks, ultimately leading to a romantic proposal on the beach. Dylan said in his speech on the final day, "Hannah, I came here for someone special and I met you. I knew my life was not going to be the same. I knew I was all-in on us. We both know I never had to fight so hard for something I wanted so badly. I didn’t give up and I’m never going to give up on us."
His proposal continued, "You showed me how much I can rely on you, how much you support me, how much you love me, and I realized at that moment I could never love anyone as much as I love you. This is the end of 'Paradise' but it’s just the beginning of our story. I didn’t come here to spend my summer with here. I came here to spend my life with you. I am ready for that life to start now."
Hannah responded, "Dylan, I came onto this beach and I truly didn’t know I could deserve somebody as great as you. You made my 'Paradise' so special just from being you and following your heart. I am so ready to make you my priority, but the biggest thing with that is I’ve also just been burned in the past, because my dad has given his blessing to fully trust me."
She told Dylan she feels "terrified and really scared about being broken again."
Dylan offered to "get on a plane and go to Alabama" to meet her father and the rest of her family. "You’ve shown me a love I never thought existed and I can’t be here without showing you how much I love you," he said. "Do you trust me?"
Hannah said she trusted him "one million percent."
Dylan and Hannah spoke with "Bachelor Nation" after "Paradise" concluded and shared some of their daily "rituals" on the beach.
Hannah shared, Every day, first thing in the morning, we would see each other for breakfast. We knew what each other wanted; it’s just a little thing, but it was always 'I’ll meet you at breakfast.'"
She added, "We would split foods. We would order a bunch of food like tacos and quesadillas, and basically would go tapas on it and split all of it."
Dylan chimed in, "Eating breakfast together every morning was really, really nice."
Happy anniversary, Hannah and Dylan!
