Since I don’t have a life so on Christmas Day I digged out this comment from Release Recovety, the facility Zac cofounded. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJICaC4jidq/?igshid=1eojpz9oekalk

Someone was asking how Zac stayed sober during filming and apparently it’s cider they gave him.

Yep! I believe that Instagram handler is the wife of Zac's bussiness/ facility co founder's wife.

When I have time I want to look for Zac's whole proposal. Tabloids are posting parts of it, I want to hear/read the whole thing again. I haven't seen it yet.

Wrote up a transcript of their scenes from arrival at the FRC site to the end–hope it extends the joy of such a beautiful moment   :

Tayshia’s limo arrival and check-in with Chris Harrison

Tayshia (T): Hello
Chris Harrison (CH): How ya doin’?
T: Doin’ good.
CH: Yeah, feelin’ ok?
T: I’m getting there, yeah, umm, I’m starting to get a little nervous. It’s a big day, and…I didn’t expect for this to be happening when it is.
CH: If we’ve learned anything this year, we know that life can just…turn on a dime.

[Tayshia sighs and gives CH an indecipherable look.]

CH: I can’t tell what’s going on.
T: (laughing) I...I have a lot, I don’t know, there’s just a lot going on. I’m excited, but also I love him so much. (pause) Umm. But it’s something that’s different. To be honest, I question the fact if, you know, I’ve ever really been in love, true love. Until now (said softly). [Tayshia pauses as her eyes well with tears and she muffles a sob.]
CH: What’s going on?
T: I’m just excited.
CH: It’s ok. (reaches to comfort her)
T: Yeah.
CH: You should be.
T: I know.
CH: This is everything we’ve ever wanted for you.
T: I know. It’s good. (smiles and shrugs)
CH: This is amazing.
T: (laughs) It’s really good.
CH: (smiles and waits): Well, good luck. (hugs Tayshia)
T: Thank you. Love you.
CH: Head on up. I’ll send Zac in a little bit.

Tayshia VO while waiting: I’m stressed. I’m overwhelmed. I’m scared. It’s taken a lot to get here. And it’s just all hitting me that this is it. I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing. I have been down this road before, and I never want to experience that heartache that I experienced in my last marriage, but I love Zac, and I just hope that I’m making the right decision.

Zac’s limo arrival and greeting by Chris Harrison

Zac (Z): Chris!
Chris Harrison (CH): How ya doin’, buddy?
Z: I’m doin’ good.
CH: You alright? Come on, man. (brings Zac into a hug)
Z: Give me that hug. I’ll take all I can get.
CH: How you feeling?
Z: I feel…like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. She’s, uh,…literally everything I could have ever dreamed for, so…
CH: It’s been one hell of a ride.
Z: Yes, it has.
CH: Alright, my friend.
Z: We’re not over yet. Thanks, Chris.
CH: Good luck. Alright, man. She’s waiting for you.
Z: Thanks.

Zac VO: I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what could go wrong, but I’ve done everything in my power to get to this moment, and I owe it to her to go into this thing without fear. There are just moments in life that you wait your entire existence for, and this is one of those moments. So if she says “yes” I’m going to be the happiest guy in the world.

Proposal

T: (laughing and smiling) Hi.
Z: How are you?
T: (big sigh following by big smile and eye contact) I’m good (whispers).

Z: (big exhale and smile) You know, the first conversation we ever had by our fountain, we talked about that everything happens for a reason. And when I came here to the desert, I didn’t know what that reason was, but I do today: I came here because I was supposed to meet you, and I came here because I was supposed to fall in love with you.
From our first kiss to riding the Ferris wheel to meeting each other’s families, nothing has ever felt so right in my entire life. You’ve helped me experience a love that I didn’t know existed, and you’ve made me smile more than anyone has ever made me smile.
I love you, Tayshia. I love you ‘cuz you’re a fighter. I love you ‘cuz you’re a strong, independent woman–you make everyone around you better. I love you ‘cuz you believe in me. I love you ‘cuz you’re a total dork. And I love you ‘cuz you drive me absolutely wild. I love everything about you.
And I listened when you spoke of the importance of loyalty: I promise to be loyal to you.

T: [big sigh] That first night when I got here, I was extremely excited for the possibility of finding love, but also very nervous and scared because I didn’t know if finding true love was…possible. When I first met you, I thought to myself…”He’s different.” And that man is...kind, he shows gratitude, and has the biggest smile [Zac starts tearing up.]. He has been through a lot but has never given up. But also has learned how to read me better than anyone really has and knows how to comfort me when I’m down.
And there was one point in my life where I thought I would never get married because of all the pain and the heartbreak that I’ve been through, and I hit absolute rock bottom.
And I know that I told you that I love you, but…..sorry (bows head)….

Z: It’s okay.

T: [eternal pause then looks up right into Zac’s eyes]: It’s more than that. It’s this wild, wild love that I’ve tried to come up with so many reasons not to believe, and you have truly just made me believe that there doesn’t need to be flaws, and that I deserve a love with a man who won’t run away. You’ve truly woken up my heart, and, yes…it is real (softly). I feel it, too.
And I want to make more traditions and jump into fountains all over the world with you. I’m ready to hail a taxi.

Z: Prove it.

T: (laughing): And I’m ready to start a life with you, but also, I love you, Zac Clark.

Z: I love you (gives her a kiss).

T: And I’ll do absolutely anything to keep that huge smile on your face because you do everything to keep a huge smile on mine.

Z: The night of my hometown (pause–Zac chokes up.)....

T: It’s okay.

Z: (whispers) When we walked in and my parents got to see that smile on my face, [normal voice] you gave them the best gift you could ever give them. They haven’t seen me that happy in years. [Tayshia’s eyes are watering]. You did that. [whispers] And that’s when I knew. That’s when they knew. [both crying]
And…the other night we were talking, you spoke about this idea of someone choosing you. And I can’t…picture another day, another moment without you in my life.
[Tayshia is emotional.]
And if you’ll let me, I’m gonna choose you right now. I’m gonna choose you tomorrow morning. [Tayshia is crying.]. I’m gonna choose you next week and next year.
[whispers] I’m gonna choose you forever.
[Both are crying as Zac pulls out the ring.]
because I love you.

T: [Looking in Zac’s eyes]: Oh, my gosh.

[Zac gets down on one knee and whispers]: Marry me.

T: [Just looks at Zac, not the ring, and whispers]: Yes…(kisses him) yes, a thousand times.

Amidst a lot of kissing and hugging:
T: I love you.
Z: Yes!.....Oh, come on!.....Gimme your hand.
T: Okay, okay, I’m, like, shaking.
Z: Don’t shake.
T: Zac!
Z: This is so crazy. Do you believe it?
T: No. Do you?
Z: Yes!
T: (laughs): Oh, my God. You’re mine! Oh, my God, we did it.
Z: We did it!
T: Me and you. It’s us.
Z: It’s crazy.

Hands out the final rose, dances, twirls, gives final interview, and hails a taxi to NY.

I omitted their final ITM as a couple post-proposal–please let me know if anyone would like that included.

Thank you @veg_out, it was great to see it in writing!! As I read it you can hear the WAY they each said things, the pauses and tones... it wasn't just what they said, but how they said it that was so magical.

Does anyone have links to their first sit down, or first kiss or time in the hot tub? I feel like they're hard to find those moments on youtube and I'd like to easily watch the earlier stuff between them. I didn't really start to pay attention attention until their first date.

@veg_out This is MVP worthy stuff. Thank you so much for typing this all out. What a joy to read.

I hadn't seen this article yet.. I think getting to watch the finale with her whole family was a really cool experience, much better than having to be at an AFR.

https://www.glamour.com/story/tayshia-adams-bachelorette-finale-interview

Glamour: Usually there would be an After the Final Rose special, or viewers would see footage of you in “normal” life post-engagement. Were you bummed not to have that, or was it helpful to have more privacy?

Tayshia Adams: It was so nice to be able to watch the final episode with my family and have Zac here. When someone would do a cheers, we would all cheers and start screaming. I'll cherish that forever. At the same time, we have been in secret for so long; I really do wish I would have been able to be on that stage and say, “Yeah, it’s been him the whole time! We’ve been engaged this long!” It is what it is. We’re happy.


What kind of assurance can you give fans who are so invested in your love and want to know it’s going to go the distance?

Zac: I think if you watched the proposal last night that really spoke to our relationship. That was the culmination of a really special time in our lives. We talked about a wide range of topics and got to know each other, and that’s going to catapult us forward into this next phase of our relationship. Just like we said last night, I’m committed to this. I choose her and love her. We’re pumped.

Tayshia: There’s no end in sight. So get that out of everyone’s minds!

[Sprite]

@SeekAny Thanks. They sound super happy and I agree with Tayshia that it was nice to watch it with family. I like that she said it was him the whole time and that there is no end in sight!

This will be only the second couple from this franchise...after the Lowe's...that I will actually follow. After many really disappointing seasons...the last few being the worst...they renewed my interest and reminded me why occasionally I love this show.

[GuardianAngel]

@veg_out thank you so much for transcribing! Everything about the proposal is about Tayshia. So perfect!! What a guy!

@frajosfanofchris thanks for posting the fan vid!

[Norcalgal]

@veg_out Thank you! You must be a screenwriter as your transcription has all the pauses, smiles, 'wait for it' moments - just as it happened. So nice to read through the words and feel their emotions.
