The pilot-turned-entrepreneur, 48, announced his engagement to his girlfriend of two years, Aimee, 41, on Saturday, Feb. 14.
At first, Pavelka went back-and-forth about whether to do something "really big and extravagant" or "simple and intimate." Ultimately, he decided on the latter — popping the question at home following dinner at a restaurant near their Dallas apartment.
"When she turned around, I was down on one knee with a really pretty ring, and I asked her to marry me," he continued. "She kind of gasped and then muttered yes. It was sweet and intimate. I definitely made the right choice keeping it private. It was a really special moment."
Although the proposal went perfectly, Pavelka couldn't help but stress in the moments leading up to it.
Aimee, however, noted the proposal "would've been perfect" even if it was "just him asking."
The couple first met after matching on the dating app Bumble in January 2024.
A week or two later, the two decided to meet at a restaurant in Las Vegas for their first date, where Pavelka recalls having "sushi for about six hours."
Pavelka and Girardi split three months after their finale aired in March 2010, with the two later appearing together on season 2 of Bachelor Pad in 2011. Pavelka also participated in season 10 of Dancing With The Stars in 2010, placing 7th.
