Johanna and Matt's touching reunion brought judges to tears when Matt dropped to one knee and said, "Johanna, you are the love of my life. Will you marry me?"

Johanna immediately said "Yes!" causing Katy Perry to have an emotional meltdown.

Matt explained that he took six exams the day before and drove 11 hours that morning so he could see Johanna as soon as possible.

Before Matt proposed to Johanna, she confessed on camera, "[Matt] is the most supportive, loving, awesome guy I've ever met. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I think he is probably the one, but we don't need to tell him that quite yet. I mean, I don't know if he knows, but I know."

After Matt's romantic proposal, Johanna learned he clearly knew she was the one, too.
