Kufrin And Jacobs Say 'I Don't' To Critical Commentators

Despite receiving their fair share of congratulatory comments from fans on their engagement, there are still those critics out there who wish Jacobs had been the one to ask Kufrin to marry him.

In response to the naysayer crowd, Kufrin told Young and Bachelor Nation, "I've also seen comments where people are like, 'she's desperate.' 'I would never let a woman propose to the man.' 'I would never do this,' she said, showcasing a snippet of the negative responses her proposal has received. (via People.)

"And, it's like, cool, that's you. But why does it, as a female, make me desperate to want to [propose] to somebody?" she continued.

"If Thomas in a week were to do the exact same thing, no one says he's desperate. It doesn't make sense to me. The logic's not there."

The Blast shared one of the ways the couple had pictured their special moment in the past! Kufrin had revealed to her 'Bachelorette' bestie how Jacobs had previously joked about using a paperclip to act as a ring!

Kufrin went on to reveal her man would have given his blessing to the idea of her being the one to take the reins on proposing.

She told Young, "I knew that he would be so appreciative and supportive of it. He would never be offended if the female proposed to the man. So it's like, why should it matter who does it?"

Jacobs seemed to be feeling no less than ecstatic about the proposal!

He called his bride-to-be's decision to ask if he would spend 'forever' with her "The ultimate UNO reverse card/power move" in the caption of his Instagram post announcing the engagement.

Jacobs went on to detail how thrilled those closest to the couple were to learn the news in the couple's latest "Bachelor Happy Hour" interview, revealing, "There was a common two words that were always said whenever we told my family and friends," he shared. "It was, 'No way.' That's awesome."

Being betrothed to Kufrin is just the beginning of Jacobs' happily ever after! The groom-to-be said he "felt very fortunate" to have received those reactions from loved ones.

"I'm even more fortunate that it's with [Becca]. And I'm just excited for this life, y'know?" he shared.

Hopefully, Bachelor Nation will be able to get a glimpse into Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs' journey to wedded bliss on an episode of the upcoming season of "The Bachelorette!"
