Love is in the air!

Bachelor Nation got to know and love Katie Morton on Season 23 of “The Bachelor” and Season 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”

Since her time on the shows, Katie moved to London in 2022 and soft-launched her relationship with boyfriend Nick Garside on social media earlier this year.

The couple has been going strong ever since, and a couple months ago, the Bachelor Nation star took to Instagram to share the exciting news that they are engaged!

Now, Katie is telling her engagement story for the first time online and spilling when she knew Nick was going to propose. 

In a video posted on TikTok, she revealed, “I knew it was generally happening. I did not know when up until a certain point.”

Katie admitted she had a suspicion when she found a message in her calendar that said the two were busy for multiple days in October. 

“That’s happened once before and we ended up on the West End at a show with his family. So I was like, that is either exactly what I think it is or I’m ending up on the West End watching ‘Hercules.’ It truly could be one or the other with Nick,” she joked. 

Katie then shared that Nick surprised her with a trip to Madeira, where they had previously visited and loved. And while there, he had planned an early morning hike for the two of them with a photographer. 

Katie quickly caught on, and said, “I realized in the morning the way he was acting, not the way he was dressed… He came out of the bathroom ready to go in his super-dry jacket covering up his white button-up shirt. So, mind you I was wearing a white tank, but I just knew it was about to happen.” 

The beautiful proposal happened at sunrise and although Katie knew it was happening, she was still surprised. 

“The sun came up and I was like, ‘Wait, this is so pretty’ and I start taking pictures. And he goes, ‘Babe,’ and I just knew! I turn around and he was getting on one knee,” she revealed. “I was so excited and elated and happy and no one else was there. There was a couple up there, and then there was a cameraman that I didn’t see. But my biggest thing has always been like please do not do this in public, broad daylight. That is my worst nightmare… It was imperfect, but it was perfect.”

Katie mentioned the engagement took place at the beginning of their trip, which made the rest of their time together really special.
