Who does Michelle end up with on The Bachelorette?
As The Bachelorette season reached its finale, Michelle made her final choice and picked Nayte Olukoya as her fiancée.
She handed her final rose to Nayte and he addressed her, saying: "Through this journey, you've shared a lot of vulnerable stuff about your past.
"I know you've felt unseen at time but I want you to know that I am willing and ready to show you that you are chosen first, today, tomorrow and the rest of our lives. I love you Michelle."
A smiling Michelle then responded with her own words of affirmation: "From the moment you stepped out of the limo, I felt there was a connection.
"It was a moment where I was feeling things I didn't even know was possible to feel. Walking into this, my fear was that I would not be loved as much as I love the other person.
"Through our conversations, there were moments when I felt that fear creeping in. This has not been a smooth ride.
"But I'm also not willing to let that fear stop me from being with you. Because I love you with my whole heart and I don't want to wake up with anyone besides you and I don't want to do life with anyone but you.
"I want to be standing with my soulmate and he's definitely standing right in front of me."
