It seems like just about everybody is falling in love!

Peyton Wright and Chris Lambton both tried to find Mr. and Ms. Right by appearing on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette respectively, but didn't quite get what they had hoped.

Until they found each other (so cute!), and now they're engaged!

"Chris proposed to Peyton Saturday evening at his home on Cape Cod," Lambert rep Marci Tyldesley, tells E! News. "The couple and their families are very happy!  No date or wedding plans have been set yet."

Lambton made sure to go about things the right way. Before even hinting at any sort of proposal, he made sure to get her father's blessing.

"He's a Southern gentleman at heart," the 27-year-old told Us Weekly, "Right after he did it, the entire family came over and joined us for a celebration at his house."

And the celebration continued on Twitter!

"Thank you all for the congrats!!! I'm a lucky guy," Chris tweeted, while his wife-to-be followed with, "Thank you everyone! @ChrisLambton13 and I are so happy!!!"

Peyton originally appeared on season 10 of The Bachelor where she vied for the love of Andy Baldwin, and Chris was sent home from The Bachelorette earlier this year while trying to win over Ali Fedotowsky's heart.

We're sure they're not bitter about that anymore. Congrats!
