It was an emotional roller coaster ride as Emily struggled with her final decision between beaus Jef and Arie Luyendyk, Jr.

The two bachelors seemed to be neck-and-neck in the race to win Emily’s heart, especially when her father gave both the seal approval, but it wasn’t long before Jef came out ahead in the game.

Emily invited the 27-year-old to meet her daughter poolside at her villa. When Arie didn’t get the same opportunity, it was clear that Jef had won her heart.

Maynard’s tearful breakup with Arie paved the way for Jef to get down on one knee and pop the question. After a long pause, Emily said “Yes!”
