Lane adds that when he first arrived atThe Golden Bachelorwedding he spent time catching up with all the former couples that were attending. He says that as soon as Bowers saw him he came over with Mandrell.
“We just started hanging out but it was hectic with all the former Bachelors and Bachelorettes showing off their rings,” he says. “Christina looked at me and Brayden and put her hand up, and was like when am I going to get engaged? It was all very sweet as she had no clue that he was going to promise that night.”

Bowers added that he knew “from the moment that” he met Mandrell that he loved her.
“It’s like they say, when you meet someone, you know, you know. And it’s like I’ve never known before,” Bowers said. “I’ve dated before, but I’ve never known before. And then I meet her, and it’s like there’s no doubt in my mind.”
