Though it was not the original Neil Lane ring Evan proposed with in 2016, the gift was still incredibly significant.
‘I got a ring when I got this dress — well, actually, it’s a different one because I returned that one and switched it — but one day you’re gonna get it,’ Carly told her toddler.
‘I’m gonna give that ring to you. Isn’t that cool? I don’t need it anymore.’
Bachelor Nation fans were certainly in for a treat watching Carly try on a range of memorable looks worn on The Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise.
