Ashley Salter is devastating The Bachelor franchise because, at this point, she'll never appear on the show again.

Salter, a fan favorite from Chris Soules' season of The Bachelor as well as Bachelor in Paradise's second edition, has gotten engaged.

Salter's college sweetheart, Austin Brannen, popped the question over Labor Day weekend on top of the helicopter pad of the W Hotel in Atlanta, People reported.

The couple, both 25, let the cat out of the bag by posting cute photos on social media.

"My one and only love," Salter captioned a black-and-white Instagram picture on September 12 of herself with Brannen, who proposed with a dozen roses in hand.

"@agbrannen 12 is better than 1 #roses," she added alongside a photo of her engagement ring and the red bouquet.

Salter, whom America labeled "the onion girl," also shared an image of her kissing her new fiance.

"We are very happy and look forward to spending our lives together," the pair told People.

Salter and Brannen both attended Auburn University in Alabama. After Salter enjoyed her two stints on reality TV, she reportedly reunited with Brannen in June.

Although Bachelor in Paradise was airing this past summer, she continued to post cute photos, allowing fans to assume she left the show without a love match.

During her time in Paradise, Salter nearly fell in love with Dan Cox, but he rejected her because he saw too many "red flags." She then moved on to Nick Peterson with whom she spent a steamy one-on-one date with. However, Peterson was quick to leave the parrot-loving blonde beauty for the show's villain Samantha Steffen.

Salter first competed on Season 19 of The Bachelor. The hairstylist's silly antics resulted in host Chris Harrison begging her to join Paradise. Harrison confessed on more than one occasion Salter is pretty much his favorite contestant of all time.
