"I am engaged and feel so blessed I get to spend forever with my best friend. I've been crying for days since it's happened and it still feels like a dream."

In the video, Teddi shared sweet moments with Nicholas -- including a clip of them kissing the pair posing with wine glasses at a vineyard.
The video ended with Nicholas on bended knee, when Teddi just so happened to be wearing a white dress, and The Bachelor alum showing off her classic solitaire, round-cut diamond sparkler.
"Can we take a moment for how good my fiance (omg) and @jeandousset did on the ring," Teddi continued in her post. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!! Now let's get me married."
Congratulatory comments rolled in from Bachelor Nation.
"So so happy you've found the kind of love you deserve. I AM SOBBING," Serene Russell wrote.
Michael Allio commented, "Congrats @teddiwright! So happy for you. Happiness looks good on ya!"
Brandon Jones gushed, "We love it," and Susie Evans wrote, "Omg chills!! So happy for you Teddi! So deserving of love and all the happiness. Sending you so much love!! Congrats!"
Jill Chin, Sierra Jackson, Eliza Isichei were also among Teddi's comments from friends.
Teddi officially debuted her man on Instagram in early January.

Teddi initially soft launched her relationship in late December by posting a mirror selfie with a mystery man via Instagram Stories after a brief social-media hiatus.
Teddi then took to her Instagram account on January 1 to confirm that she was taken.
"First new years kiss ever!! Happy new year #2023," the 26-year-old surgical unit nurse captioned a video, which showed Teddi straddling her guy on the foot of a bed.
Teddi, however, did not reveal Nicholas' identity at the time.

Teddi found fame when she competed for Clayton Echard's heart on The Bachelor's 26th season in early 2022.
Teddi then sparked a connection with Andrew Spencer in the first few days of filming Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season last summer.
Although Andrew and Teddi had been waiting to meet each other in Mexico with much anticipation, Teddi seemed to think their chemistry fell a little flat.

Once The Bachelorette alum Rodney Mathews joined the cast and expressed interest in also dating Teddi, Teddi suddenly realized there was something "missing" with Andrew, and so she dumped the pro football player.
But instead of giving Rodney a chance or waiting for other bachelors to arrive, Teddi just left the beach in Mexico without saying goodbye to anybody -- not even her close friend Serene, who seemed hurt and offended by Teddi's silent exit.
"I want to get married, and I want to have kids... I want to go home and move past this and find that person," Teddi said in a confessional on the show, adding that she was ready to leave the beach.
"I feel so bad. Like, I just want to go now. I know you wanted me to find love here and I get that, but, like, I'm just not. I want to go. I'm not going in there and doing a big goodbye with everyone."
Following Teddi's abrupt and unexpected Paradise departure, she explained via Instagram she had left a "cruel" environment and took pride in how she had stuck to her "boundaries no matter how many times people in authority try to cross them."

Andrew tested the dating waters in Paradise with subsequent arrivals, but he ended up quitting Paradise as well because no other woman could measure up to Teddi, in his eyes, and he had lingering and unresolved feelings for her.
During a November appearance on the "Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation" podcast, Andrew revealed he actually reached out to Teddi after filming ended, seeking closure for their short-lived but powerful romance.
"We shared a couple texts, nothing serious; I just really wanted to get a chance to have a conversation with her," Andrew shared with the podcast's co-hosts Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo.
But Andrew implied that he never asked Teddi out or asked her for a second chance.
"I just want to be friends at the end of the day," Andrew said.
"We went through this experience together. We spent some good time together and we laughed a lot together. So I just don't want her to be completely out of my life in that way and in that manner and just so shut down."

He elaborated, "But if I ever [saw] her in an organic place and we have a couple chats, I guarantee I would be a lot better than I was on the beach. I'd be a lot smoother and I'd definitely shoot my shot again."
But Andrew clarified on the podcast that "there's no way" he'd reach out to Teddi again "over social media or texts."
"It would be coming from her [at a later time] if she felt the need to," Andrew confirmed.
Andrew still appears to be single and having fun with his fellow Bachelor in Paradise bros.
