I can't wait to keep growing together through this journey called life, and I simply can't imagine mine without you anymore. Love you more than you can possibly imagine, and thank you for making every single day feel like a dream to me. Here's to forever!”

Jennifer, who has a biology degree from Stanford and is also reportedly medical student as well as an equestrian, showed off her new engagement ring against a snowy backdrop with a post on Instagram that read, “Nayel Nassar, you are one of a kind.
