Ashley finally said ‘I do’ to the man of her dreams.
After a season of laughter, fights, tears and drama The Bachelorette’s Ashley Herbert slowly eliminated 25 men to reach her Prince Charming on last night’s season finale.
The lucky man is J.P Rosenbaum.
J.P Rosenbaum and Ashley
The 34-year-old construction manager from Rozlyn, New York won Ashley’s heart in the end, getting down on one knee for a successful proposal.
J.P was the first to meet Ashley’s family and had a hard time convincing her sister Chrystie that he was the right man.
‘I think he’s a great guy but no, I don’t see it,’ Chrystie said. ‘What worries me is that I think you are too much for him. I saw how you are together and I am missing something.’
Chrystie brought Ashley to tears. ‘You’re being such a b**ch,’ Ashley sobbed.
‘Why can’t you feel for me for a second? You’re not being my sister and feeling for me and I feel so alone.’
Chrystie replied: ‘I am trying to protect you from yourself.’
JP was also none too happy that Chrystie attacked him after knowing him ‘for just 15 minutes.’
The happy couple
‘It wasn’t fair, there was just nothing I could do about it,’ he complained. But Ashley refused to disregard her sister’s concerns.
‘I’m not going to lie,’ she said. ‘I need the approval of other people. My family’s opinions weigh heavily in my life – and its left me more confused than ever.’
Ben Flajnik, a 28-year-old winemaker from Sonoma, CA had his marriage proposal turned down, despite being favored by Ashley’s parents and sister.
Ben also had a great meeting with Ashley’s family. Chrystie immediately warmed to Ben who in turn told her that he’s in love with Ashley.
Ben and Ashley then went walking on the beach before lathering each other with mud
‘When you are lubing each other up in mud it is really quite erotic,’ Ben said.
Ashley added: ‘I love this date, the mud bath is really sexy and it’s a great place to have romance. All I wanted to do was rub that mud all over his body like 10 times. I wish I could reach lower! I had so much fun.’
Following the date Ben called Ashley to his room to break the news that he was in love with her.
‘I’m putting myself out there,’ Ben said. ‘There have been multiple times I have wanted to tell you, that I am in love with you.’
At the final rose ceremony Ben was the first man out. Ben dropped to one knee and proposed before having his heart crushed.
Ben's unsuccessful proposal
‘I’m sorry, I know that this was unexpected and I want you to know this is the hardest thing I’ve done here,’ Ashley said.
Ben added: ‘I didn’t see this one coming.’
When Ashley walked after Ben to try and console him he told her to stop.
‘I don’t want you to sugarcoat it,’ he said.
Said Ashley: ‘Who am I to break this man’s heart? I feel terrible right now.’
After arriving on a seaplane it was then JP’s turn to propose.
‘You look gorgeous, unreal,’ JP said. ‘It’s so hard to believe where this all started and how far we’ve come.’
‘The hardest thing out of all of this is not knowing. I know that to overcome that fear I have to take a leap of faith and this is exactly what this is.’
‘All the time we have spent together has been the happiest time in my life.’
‘I smile because of you, you bring that out. I am madly in love with you and I love everything about you.’
The ring
JP then got down on one knee and proposed with a huge square cut diamond and platinum ring
‘Yes,’ said Ashley before giving him the final rose and the pair hugged and kissed each other as the sun set.
We wish the happy couple lots of luck.
