Daisy subsequently showed off her beautiful diamond sparkler via Instagram Stories and said, "Today is my first day being a fiancee! Yeah, my man! We got to Tuscany yesterday and then on our itinerary, there was a wine tasting."
She continued, "And so we went to the wine tasting and the bartender was totally playing the part. He gave us a little bit of red wine and was telling us all of this history. I have videos of us on this wine tour, and then all of a sudden, we walk up this staircase."
Once in a beautiful spot, Daisy recalled the tour guide backing up slowly and flashing a glance at Thor.
"And then I look and there are a bunch of daisies and tulips, and there was this really pretty grass," Daisy said of the moment leading up to Thor popping the question.
Many members of Bachelor Nation rushed to the comments of Daisy's post to congratulate the happy couple on taking the next step in their relationship.

Daisy and Thor had built a home in Las Vegas and moved in together earlier this year.
"I moved to Vegas!" Daisy captioned a March Instagram video that showed her wearing a white robe and getting ready in the spacious bathroom of Thor's home.
"Yes, me and Thor are now roommates, so we'll see how that goes."
After finishing Joey Graziadei's The Bachelor season in second place, Daisy rekindled a relationship with Thor, whom she had briefly dated about five years ago while they both attended San Diego State University.

Daisy went public with her relationship in May 2024 by posting a photo with Thor on Instagram.
"I remember when I first met Thor in college. He was like, 'I'm from Las Vegas,' and I was like, 'Who lives in Las Vegas?'" the Minnesota native recalled in a TikTok video.
"And now, here I am! The plan was when the house was done, I was always going to move here -- and now the house is done. So, now I'm here."
Daisy shared that while she planned to go "back and forth" between Las Vegas and San Diego for "a little bit," Thor's place was now her permanent residence.
Daisy also confirmed that she still traveled to Minnesota frequently to visit her family and friends and that she hopes to have a second home there eventually.
Daisy told Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles on the "Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour" podcast in June 2024 that "it just clicks" with Thor and she's crazy about him.
"He is the most -- he is the kindest person I've ever met in my life, and he would do anything for anybody. He is just a very giving and loving person," Daisy said at the time.
Susan called Daisy and her man "a perfect match," and Daisy agreed.
"Yeah, I don't know. He just has so much respect for everyone. He shows so many people so much respect, and he's just constantly, like, uplifting me," Daisy gushed.
The Bachelor 28 alum pointed out how she and Thor have been close friends since college and their romance was progressing nicely.
"I think everything happened for a reason," she said. "This season of my life, I'm really happy and I'm just enjoying it all."

But Daisy admitted dating in the public eye could "be a little stressful at times," especially trying to navigate social media and introducing Thor to that aspect of her career.

Daisy previously revealed that Thor had been the one to break up with her in college.
"But we just weren't at a place to have a relationship, and I think, at the time, we were both just very 'college.' We just wanted to have fun, so it was the best thing for both of us," Daisy said during a May 2024 episode of the "Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad" podcast.
Thor apparently contacted Daisy after she had time to heal from her split with Joey. (Joey's Final Rose Ceremony had filmed in November 2023, although it didn't air until March 2024).
"I was going through so much... It wasn't until after the show that we decided to try to give it a go," Daisy shared, before adding, "I had no idea he was still interested."
At the time, Daisy said Thor wasn't exactly comfortable with being in the spotlight yet.
"He's very supportive of what I want to do and all of this too, but he never, ever thought this would happen. I'm sure when articles started coming out, it was shocking," Daisy noted.
Although Daisy said she loved being on TV and had "the time of my life" on The Bachelor, she rejected The Bachelorette role two weeks before The Bachelor: After the Final Rose aired in March 2024.
Daisy -- who said she'd be open to a stint on Dancing with the Stars -- insisted that Thor had nothing to do with her decision to pass on The Bachelorette.
In fact, Daisy even said on an April 2024 episode of "The Squeeze" podcast that she was "relieved" to have turned down The Bachelorette's 21st season, which later premiered in July 2024.
After all, Daisy received a cochlear implant in 2023, and before that, she had battled undiagnosed Lyme disease for years and finally sought an aggressive treatment program in Germany.

"I knew they would take care of me, and they made that very evident that they would," Daisy revealed of The Bachelorette producers on an April 2024 episode of "The Viall Files" podcast.
"But also, the fact you're hurting other people... I mean, there's usually what -- around 30 people? I can't send everyone home at once, you know what I mean? What if I didn't like them? I don't think I could actually sit there and kiss somebody [I didn't like]."
Daisy insisted she had "thought really long and hard" about the opportunity before passing on it.
"I think I know when things are getting too much and when it would be too much for me... I just felt like it was important that I kind of take control over my life and the path I want to do," Daisy explained, adding, "It just didn't feel right."
On The Bachelor's Season 28 finale, Daisy and Kelsey Anderson were Joey's Final 2 bachelorettes in Tulum, Mexico.
After both women met Joey's family and had a final date with him, Daisy predicted that she wasn't going to end up with Joey. She felt something was "off" and "missing" with Joey during their last date.

Daisy shared her suspicions with Kelsey Anderson, and then the women drove to the Final Rose Ceremony in the same van.
Daisy essentially beat Joey to the punch and broke up with him, and then Joey got engaged to Kelsey.
