“The Bachelor” Season 19 Finale was aired on Monday, March 9, 2015 on ABC. Chris Soules, the 33-year-old farmer from Arlington, Iowa, had to choose between 29-year-old fertility nurse Whitney Bischoff and 26-year-old Chiropractic Assistant Becca Tilley. Bischoff is from Chicago, Illinois while Tilley is from San Diego, California. In the end, it was Bischoff who won Soules’ heart. Read on to learn more about what happened in this episode.

After making his choice and picking Whitney over Becca, Chris also got down on one knee and asked Whitney to marry him. He also presented her with a beautiful ring from Neil Lane. Whitney accepted his proposal by simply saying “Absolutely.” Aside from the stunning engagement ring, Chris also gave Whitney the final rose of “The Bachelor” Season 19. The couple was shown kissing each other in a hayloft. The show aired from Jan. 5, 2015 to March 9, 2015.

The episode "After the Final Rose" was also aired on Monday, March 9, 2015. It showed some scenes from the show, including Becca’s reaction to Chris’ rejection of her.
