The special moment occurred after the couple danced a contemporary routine together to "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars to welcome fans back to the show following a commercial break.
Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron then approached Farber and Slater onstage and commented on their incredible chemistry. Bergeron also said he always thought Farber would be great at hosting the show, so he turned things over to the pro dancer.
Slater had a smile on her face but seemed confused until Farber began to speak directly to her onstage.
"Baby, I've wanted to do this for such a long time," Farber explained, looking into Slater's eyes. "I love you so, so much."
Farber then reached into his pocket and pulled out the engagement-ring box as he got down on one knee.
"Will you marry me?" Farber asked.
Slater stood with her hands over her face crying. She managed to let out a big "yes" before the couple hugged and kissed each other.
"She said Yes!" flashed across the Dancing with the Stars screen. Footage was shown of people celebrating in the ballroom, and even judge Julianne Hough wiped a tear away from her eyes.
It didn't take long for Derek Hough to run onstage and embrace the pair. The rest of the Dancing with the Stars cast then followed in Derek's footsteps and walked onstage to congratulate Farber and Slater.
Last night, Slater posted a series of tweets about her engagement, calling herself "the luckiest girl in the world" and revealing she had "a whirlwind couple of hours."
"I will never forget this moment, the best day of my life. I'm engaged to @sashafarber!!!!!! We're getting married!!!... Wahhhhh!!!... I'm so crazy in love I can't believe it's true! Thank you!" Slater tweeted.

Farber also took to Twitter to express his excitement.
"She said yessssssssss. One moment in my life I will cherish for ever!!!!" Farber wrote alongside numerous engagement-ring emojis.
Farber is still competing on Dancing with the Stars' current season with Little Women: LA star Terra Jole. Slater was unfortunately eliminated from the competition last week with her celebrity partner, former U.S. presidential candidate Rick Perry.
