Welcome to Plathville star Lydia Plath announced her engagement to her long-distance boyfriend Zachary Wyse on Monday.
'A million reasons to say yes to the love of my life! @zaclwyse you're a gift from the Lord!' the 20-year-old reality star - who boasts 215K social media followers - gushed on Instagram.
'You've been so patient with me and you've led in such a humble and giving way.
The way you care for not only me, but for my family, my friends, and everyone you come across in such an intentional way is a rare gem to find.
'And the ways I've seen the Lord work in and through our relationship has been such a beautiful experience and I can't wait to experience that with you forever! I love you so much and I'm so blessed to call you mine.'
Georgia-based Lydia made her first trip to Colorado, where Zac lives, in August but they didn't go Instagram official as a couple until November 21.
Welcome to Plathville star Lydia Plath announced her engagement to her long-distance boyfriend Zachary Wyse on Monday
The 20-year-old reality star - who boasts 215K social media followers - gushed on Instagram: 'A million reasons to say yes to the love of my life! @zaclwyse you're a gift from the Lord!'
Plath and Wyse told People in a statement: 'The moment we were in each other's arms we were overwhelmed with all the emotions that led us to this moment where all we could feel was pure joy for the commitment we were about to make.'
The bride and groom-to-be also cited the Bible verse Ephesians 2:10: 'For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.'
Zac moved from Wichita, KS to Longmont, CO after graduating from Tabor College - which prepares 'people for a life of learning, work, and service for Christ and His kingdom.'
It's unclear whether Wyse will become some sort of church leader but his Instagram bio simply states that he is a 'believer.'
Lydia's betrothment came two years after her famous parents - Barry Plath and Kim Plath - announced they were divorcing after 24 years of wedded bliss.
The 52-year-old naturopathic doctor has since moved on with private pilot Ken Palmer, whom the 56-year-old transportation planner met during the sixth season but their divorce has not been finalized.
The Christian fundamentalist couple homeschooled Lydia and her eight siblings - Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Isaac, Amber, Cassia, and Mercy - and deprived them of the Internet, cell phones, or sugar.
Barry and Kim's 10th child - son Joshua - tragically died, at 17 months old, in 2008 after a farming accident on the family's property.
Lydia is an aspiring singer, having self-released her debut album last year, and she gets an average 250 monthly listeners on Spotify.
The blue-eyed blonde also commands $45/video on Cameo.
