Madison Prewettis not planning to wait long for wedded bliss!
The formerBachelorcontestant, 26, opened up about why she and fiancéGrant Troutt—popped the questionon July 31 after eight months of dating — want to have a short engagement.
“That day [Grant proposed] literally changed our lives,” she shared during the couple’s first joint interview onAmazon Liveon Friday. “And some people think [eight months is] short but you know, honestly when you know you know.”
“And something that we have made a commitment to do is to pursue purity and to wait until marriage, and so because of that we’re not trying to have a super long engagement,” she explained. “And so because of that we’re like…, ‘Let’s wrap this up! How quickly can we go?!'”

The former reality star also revealed that listening to the music ofDrakemade her realize that Troutt, a 26-year-old speaker and minister to athletes and churches, was the one for her.
“So we have the most incredible, just amazing conversation, so life-giving, so challenging, so inspiring,” she recalled. “I had never met someone that had my same level of passion and woo … and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m blown away.'”
“But then there was part of me that was like, does he have this swag … is there another side of him where we can just turn on someJustin Bieber, some Drake and just chill and vibe?” she added. “And so we get in the car and he opens my door and he’s like, ‘Do you mind if we just drive around downtown and I just turn on some Drake…?’ And I was like, ‘Do you want to just get married right now?'”
“I have waited for this day my whole life,” she said. “I am so excited that it’s finally here. He is everything I have prayed for, waited for, and dreamed of my whole life. He was definitely worth the wait.”
