She waited a day before sharing the news: 'He proposed yesterday and we had the most beautiful, magical day with our closest friends and can't wait to celebrate with family back home. Love, the future Mrs. Manno.'

In her photo, the ABC vet can be seen holding up an emerald cut diamond ring as she stands with her man in a living room decorated with red and white roses as well as balloons.

She revealed to Us that they celebrated their good news at home with their pet pooch.

'Yesterday was the most incredible day of our lives. We cried, we laughed, our dog Owen wore a tux—hah!' she explained, before adding: 'It was such a special moment, just the three of us in our new home.'

The Bachelor and Bachelorette star was last engaged to Roberto Martinez.

The pretty blonde first became famous when she competed against 24 other women for a chance at love on The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love with Jake Pavelka.

After weeks of eliminations by Pavelka, Ali was one of the few girls left standing.

However, after much time spent away from her job, she was forced by her employer, Facebook, to either return to work or quit, so Ali made the tearful and difficult decision to leave the show and return to work.

The bubbly blonde was later chosen as The Bachelorette where she became engaged to Martinez in the finale.

Ali and Roberto - an insurance agent from Florida - seemed very much in love for the first several months of their engagement.

However, as time passed, Ali told People Magazine she began to see personality traits in Roberto that signaled red flags.

'He would rather be alone on weekends,' Ali confessed. 'He’s more introverted. I love being around people and sharing stories and going out to dinner.'

After an 18-month engagement, Ali called off the wedding, telling People Magazine, 'We both realized we were unhappy more than we were happy, and we both deserved more.'

Ali continued to explain, 'We didn't meet in the most traditional way. We had a very short courtship and we only knew each other nine weeks before we got engaged, we are still figuring out our lives as individuals.'

After more than a year after their split she was introduced to Manno by a producer from NBC's travel show, 1st Look, and the pair has been inseparable since April 2013.
