Abigail posted a video clip from a Summer 2021 Bachelor in Paradise episode in which Noah said after their first date, "I wanted it to be a special first date. It was for me for sure."

"Abigail is the only one I'm interested in," he continued, "so I'm glad that I stepped it up from being a random guy that's in the friend zone to maybe more."

Noah proceeded to kiss Abigail and then lift her up in his arms and carry her.

Abigail captioned the cute throwback video, "1 year ago today we went on our first date."

"Time flies when you're having fun. I love you Noah," she added.

Abigail set the video to the song "Still Falling For You" by Ellie Goulding.

Abigail followed up that Instagram Stories post with another video, originally uploaded on TikTok, of her shedding a tear.

Abigail took an opportunity to plug the designer of her swimsuit but she also wrote, "When I'm a few drinks in and starting to get emotional about how much I love my boyfriend."

Earlier this month, Abigail told Us Weekly on its "Here for the Right Reasons" podcast that she and Noah "talk a lot" about an engagement in their future but they feel pressure from Bachelor Nation "to move quickly."

"And I don't blame them," Noah quipped. "We'd make a great married couple. But yeah, we have conversations ourselves. I think we're on the same page."

Noah confirmed that he and Abigail are "pretty happy" with the pace they're going and it's shocking how many DMs and/or comments he receives on a daily basis "from middle-aged women or married couples about proposing -- at least 20."

Noah said he and Abigail are "having fun" and "a blast" together just dating.

Abigail and Noah were smitten with each other on Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season last summer, but they broke up before Fantasy Suites because Abigail had struggled to be vulnerable and so Noah lost his confidence that he and Abigail were meant to be together.

But after filming ended, Noah and Abigail reconciled, and Bachelor in Paradise's October 2021 finale later revealed the couple planned to take things "slowly" going forward.

The couple then gushed about their love for each other on social media in October 2021, and Abigail proceeded to announce on Instagram in late March 2022 that she'd be relocating from New York City to the West Coast in order to be close to Noah and her family.

Abigail, an Oregon native, and Noah, originally from Oklahoma, are now living together.

"It's definitely been an adjustment," Noah told Us, later adding, "But it's been good. It's been fun."

Looking back on their Bachelor in Paradise breakup last year, Noah said his brief split from Abigail made their relationship "more real."

"You step away -- no cameras, no production, just you and somebody you like that were in a crazy experience in the real world," Noah explained.

"I think it's good. It makes it more real. You get to say, 'Okay, where am I at in real life with my own thoughts and my own time?' And all that."

Noah dubbed his The Bachelorette stint on Season 16 starring Clare Crawley and then Tayshia Adams in 2020 and journey on Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season in 2021 "a distant, fond memory."

"And now I'm like, 'Where are we at now? What are we doing now?' Our focus is on our relationship, you know, the date nights... We're trying to go try new restaurants all the time. We travel a lot. It was a good experience, but now it's [the] real world," Noah said.

Abigail, who found fame on Matt James' The Bachelor season in early 2021, elaborated on how she and Noah have traveled to Costa Rica and Mexico and she'd like to do a trip to Europe soon, with Noah adding how he'd love to stop in Italy.
