Former "Bachelorette" Becca Kufrin and her fiancé, Garrett Yrigoyen, recently celebrated their one-year anniversary since meeting on the show.

In an emotional post, Kufrin recalled giving her future fiancé the coveted first impression rose during the first episode of the show's 22nd season.

"From the pool to the pier, so much has happened in 1 year. @gy_yrigoyen, we have spent 365 days around the sun, and I can’t wait for thousands more to come," she wrote.

From the pool to the pier, so much has happened in 1 year. @gy_yrigoyen, we have spent 365 days around the sun, and I can’t wait for thousands more to come. Who would have thought that one soccer ball-smelling mini van and a single impression rose would change our lifetimes? You had my heart since the very beginning, and I love and value you so much. Thank you for this past year, thank you for simply being you. Now let’s get a puppy for that mini van already!

Kufrin also recently told ET that they are taking their engagement at their own pace.

"We felt like we're still at the point we're getting to know each other, because we've been together 24/7 so we know each other, but we want to have a long engagement and do our own thing and not be on anyone else's timing," Kufrin shared.

"A lot of people throw out, 'Get married, have a big wedding, have it be televised, have babies!' and we're like, 'We're gonna do us,'" she added.
