The 41-year-old shared the amazing news on Instagram with a photo of her now-fiancé, Mascot Sports CEO Ryan Dawkins, on his knee asking her to marry him. The former Bachelorette, who works as a hairstylist in California, captioned the post, “He has held me in my darkness, loves me through my healing, and we now celebrate the light together! The easiest YES of my life ❤️.” Crawley also shared a beautiful video of the night of the proposal, when the couple joined many others at the RiSE Festival, lighting floating lanterns and letting them go, illuminating the night sky. The video was set to an acoustic cover of the song “How Long Will I Love You?” performed by Matt Johnson. The song was originally released by The Waterboys in 1990, and Ellie Goulding released a popular cover of the track in 2013. In the video, Crawley’s surprise is visible as Dawkins goes down on one knee before it quickly turns into pure joy. All Crawley wrote for a caption on the video was, “HIM❤️.” Photographer and cinematographer Richie Cooper took photos and filmed the proposal for the couple. Although it’s not clear exactly when Crawley and Dawkins first started dating, based on past Instagram posts, they’ve been together for over a year. Many stars from The Bachelor franchise celebrated in the comments, with Kendall Long writing, “This 😍 I’m over the freakin moon for your love!! You have such a great heart, he is a lucky man 🥰,” while Raven Gates Gottschalk said, “Congrats, Clare!!! ❤️❤️❤️.” Jonathan Van Ness left two comments, first writing, “So cute honey!!,” followed shortly by, “Also his jaw is really giving,” while Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Camille Kostek left the comment, “Im so so happy for you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.” More News:
