"Crying about Katie and Blake," another fan wrote. "Wonderful. I love it."

"BEST. ENDING. EVER," gushed one viewer.

Some fans were on the edges of their seats, and shared a collective sigh of relief when Moynes got down on one knee.

"I was convinced he wasn't going to propose geez I can finally breathe,"

Host Kaitlyn Bristowe also shared her reaction to the finale, writing in a tweet, "Tayshia! We are one for one!!! Congrats to @BlakeMoynes and our girl @katiethurston !!! I can't wait till you guys see their relationship now and how much it has blossomed. I love love #TheBacheloretteFinale"

Thurston, who previously appeared on Matt James' Bachelor season earlier this year, began her run with 35 men. Ahead of Monday's finale, she was down to Glaze and Moynes, who entered the competition later in the game.

After being selected for a Hometowns week date, single dad Michael Allio eliminated himself to go home and be with his 4-year-old son, James.

Then, former frontrunner Greg Grippo left the show after a Hometowns week date, and he and Thurston engaged in an emotional exchange before parting ways. Grippo, 28, said that he ultimately didn't receive the reassurance he desired from Thurston.

"There's obviously a disconnect here. It's, like, clear. That's obvious," he told her at the time. "As much as it hurts me, I've reached my breaking point with this. I gave you everything and I really hope you find something."

Even after Thurston ran after him, Grippo followed through with his decision to leave. She then proceeded to move forward in her relationships with Moynes, 30, and Glaze, 27, before ultimately choosing Moynes.
