Bachelor Nation’s Melina Nasab Gets Engaged to Max Keefe: ‘Best Day of Our Lives’
Congrats are in order!
Bachelor Nation fans met Melina Nasab on Season 26 of “The Bachelor,” where she made her mark with memorable fashion and bouncy Kangaboots.
Since her time on the show, Melina has been keeping fans updated with her life on social media, where she hard launched her relationship with tech executive Max Keefe in late 2022.
Now, Melina took to Instagram to share that the two are engaged!
She shared photos from their gorgeous proposal moment and wrote, “Mr. & Mrs. Joon coming soon! On 4-12-24, we woke up and looked at each other saying ‘let’s have the best day ever’ like we do every morning and then we quite literally did have the best day of our lives.”
The Bachelor Nation star went on, saying, “I will be a wife to the most thoughtful, handsome, kind, caring, and abundantly loving man in the world. Max Thomas Keefe, you have outdone yourself with this one my love.”
Melina also shared their engagement story and how Max popped the question.
She shared that she and Max sometimes model for hotels through an agency they were connected to a while ago.
It was their two-year anniversary last week, so they thought it would be nice to accept the shoot and do something fun together for their special day.
On the day of the “shoot,” Melina and Max met the photographer and started by doing typical photos of them walking, twirling, posing, and being candid.
She said, “The photographer told me to take off some of my chunky rings and one of my necklaces because the client didn’t want any distracting jewelry or logos. Seemed normal. She takes us to the next location and asked me to stand facing away and to just hang tight there while she adjusts the camera lighting.”
Melina went on, saying, “Max tip toes behind me, taps me on the shoulder, says to me while he’s holding a box ‘do you know what’s happening right now?’ NO SIR I DID NOT WUT. He gets down on one knee, asks me if I would be his joon forever, I black out, smile from ear to ear, and it registers what is happening. Of course, I say YES with the most sureness I have had towards anything in my entire life.”
Melina shared that she thought they were still working and it wasn’t until Max told her that it was all a setup that she realized the whole thing was for her proposal.
She ended her post, writing, “MAN was I surprised!!! Max made a reservation at our favorite BBQ spot in SJC where we shared ribs afterwards, then hopped around town in bliss & celebrated with one another before spending the night at the hotel as fiancées. I am the luckiest girl in the world. On the inside of the ring he had engraved ‘My Joon Forever.’ I love you beyond words Max, my joon forever.”
How sweet!
Congrats to Melina and Max! We can’t wait for you two to get married!
