Abigail previously shared how the house needs “a little TLC,” and so she and Noah have been settling into their new place and looking forward to their wedding ever since.
This past weekend, Abigail and Noah threw an engagement party in the backyard of their new home and welcomed close family and friends.
Abigail took to Instagram with a slideshow of photos from the event, including one sweet picture of Noah twirling her in her white linen dress.
Abigail captioned the post, “Forever & ever.”
“We had the best night ever celebrating our engagement!” Abigail continued to write.
“Noah and I have been asking ourselves how we got so lucky with the best family and friends who let us borrow tables and chairs, offered to help us set up and took the time to celebrate us. It wasn’t easy planning our first party with an empty house but I couldn’t be more in love with how it turned out!”
The Bachelor alum concluded, “Now let’s finish our house and get hitched already hehe.”
The photos also included snapshots of the couple’s dog, Maki, wearing a “Best Dog” bandana.
Members of Bachelor Nation weighed in and congratulated the couple on their love.
Serena Pitt wrote, “So beautiful Abi.”
Hannah Godwin commented, “So sweet and beautiful. The last black and white photo is literally movie vibes.”
Madison Prewett gushed, “A real life fairy tale,” and Adam Gottschalk added, “Y’all cute af and I can’t handle it anymore.”
Brittany Galvin also called the couple’s romance “a real life fairy tale.”

Back in June, Abigail figured out what her dream engagement ring would look like through a TikTok challenge, which ultimately showed her an oval solitaire.
Abigail and Noah began dating on Bachelor in Paradise’s seventh season, which aired in Summer 2021.
In June 2022, Abigail told Us Weekly on its “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast that she and Noah talked “a lot” about an engagement in their future and how they definitely felt pressure from Bachelor Nation “to move quickly.”
“And I don’t blame them,” Noah quipped at the time. “We’d make a great married couple. But yeah, we have conversations ourselves. I think we’re on the same page.”
But Noah said he and Abigail were “pretty happy” with the pace they were moving and he found it shocking many DMs and/or comments he had been receiving on a daily basis “from middle-aged women or married couples about proposing.” He said “at least 20” a day.
Noah shared, however, that he and Abigail were “having fun” and “a blast” just dating.
Abigail and Noah were smitten with each other on Bachelor in Paradise’s seventh season in Summer 2021, but they broke up before Fantasy Suites because Abigail had struggled to be vulnerable and so Noah lost his confidence that he and Abigail were meant to be together.
But after filming ended, Noah and Abigail reconnected and reconciled, and Bachelor in Paradise’s October 2021 finale later revealed how the couple planned to take things “slowly” going forward.
“You never know what you have until it’s gone, then you never let it go,” Noah wrote via Instagram in October 2021. “World, meet my new GF, turns out we do know how to talk to each other and I think I’ll keep her.”

Abigail, for her part, simultaneously gushed about being in love with Noah on Instagram.
Abigail — an Oregon native — proceeded to announce on Instagram in late March 2022 that she’d be relocating from New York City to the West Coast in order to be close to Noah as well as her family.
“It’s definitely been an adjustment,” Noah told Us, later adding, “But it’s been good. It’s been fun.”
Abigail and Noah began spending a lot of time together once Noah’s nursing contracts were up and he could take a break from traveling for his job.
Looking back on their Bachelor in Paradise breakup, Noah said last year that his brief split from Abigail made their relationship “more real.”
“You step away — no cameras, no production, just you and somebody you like that were in a crazy experience in the real world,” Noah explained.
“I think it’s good. It makes it more real. You get to say, ‘Okay, where am I at in real life with my own thoughts and my own time?’ And all that.”
Noah dubbed his The Bachelorette stint on Season 16 starring Clare Crawley and then Tayshia Adams in 2020 as well as his journey on Bachelor in Paradise’s seventh season in 2021 “a distant, fond memory.”
Prior to meeting Noah on Paradise, Abigail competed on The Bachelor’s 25th season starring Matt James.
