Lindsay Hubbard And Carl Radke Are Engaged
According to People Magazine, Hubbard and Radke took their relationship further and planned to walk down the aisle. In the interview with the news outlet, the reality star revealed that the proposal took her by surprise, and she is "still in shock."
The duo were set to attend a group bonfire together and headed to the location earlier than the specified time to arrange some firewood for the event. Instead of a bonfire setting, Hubbard reportedly met a laid-out picnic for the couple. Radke started his walk down the beach boardwalk amid a number of messages he laid out that the couple held dear.
Radke revealed that he wanted to do something special for the both of them because they barely had time to themselves all summer. He popped the question by telling Hubbard he "wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, how happy I was, and that our love story was just beginning."
Hubbard answered the "Will you marry me?" with an enthusiastic "A thousand times yes!" and Radke reached for the beach bag to get the ring while the 36-year-old declared that she was ready to get married on the spot.
Lindsay Hubbard Loves Her Engagement Ring
According to Hubbard, the ring Radke produced was "the most incredible thing I have ever laid eyes on," excluding, of course, the person who gifted her the piece of jewelry. The jewelry was an overall 4.02-carat ring with a 3.5-carat square cut cushion that had two half-moon diamonds on both sides.
Radke revealed that he got help selecting the ring from Hubbard's friend and jeweler, Nicole Rose. He said, "I had picked up on a couple of things Lindsay liked, and Nicole helped me narrow it down to a few stones, sent me design ideas, and created this beautiful ring."
The 37-year-old further revealed that he was happy Hubbard loved the ring so much, and the piece symbolized his love for her and excitement to start on a new path with his newly minted fiancée. Hubbard seemed to agree, saying that the ring made it clear that he loved her "so much."
They Celebrated Their Engagement With Friends
After the couple got engaged, they reportedly moved on to one of their preferred restaurants, Dockers Waterside Marina & Restaurant, where Hubbard was given yet another shock. The duo celebrated the proposal with their respective family and friends, some of whom were in the state at the time.
The 36-year-old recalled, "That's when it all became real to me. Until that point, I was like, 'Is this happening right now?' But when I saw my parents and some of my best friends who don't even live in New York who had flown in, I knew it wasn't just a dream. And I just lost it. I lost it. I started hysterically crying."
Radke also invited the duo's "Summer House" co-stars to participate in the celebration. Danielle Olivera, Kyle Cooke, Mya Allen, and Paige DeSorbo were reportedly in attendance; however, they initially thought they were attending the bonfire scheduled for the day and were surprised by the turn of events.
He also revealed that the couple intended to host a second engagement celebration in a few weeks in New York. This would help the reality star's mother and the rest of the people who could not make it to the previous one have a chance to celebrate with the couple.

After staying friends for years and co-stars on "Summer House" since its premiere, Hubbard and Radke revealed they were together in January. The revelation, according to the 36-year-old, was news to her, and they had not even broached the topic before it became public.
