The former Bachelorette star, 28, shared a series of photos and videos of her with fiancé Nayte Olukoya on Instagram Thursday. In addition to some smiling selfies, the post included videos of Olukoya kissing Young on the cheek, applying a face mask to her skin and painting her toenails.

The couple got engaged on the Dec. 21 finale of Young's Bachelorette season.

"I fall more in love every day," Young told PEOPLE after the episode aired. "I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family with a healthy marriage and I thought, 'I'm not going to give up until I have that.' He's my person. And I didn't know I could love at this level."

The duo also revealed at the time that they are ready to take the next step in their relationship and tie the knot.

"The planning is picking up speed," said Young. "No shade to anybody who wants a long engagement, but that's not us. We're like, 'Cool, you're my person, I'm your person.' We're ready!"

Olukoya, who is moving to Minnesota for his fiancée, noted that his mom is hoping for a wedding in Scotland, and it could be as soon as this summer.

"I'm looking forward to packing up and seeing what Minnesota is like," he said. "I'm all in. And I'm excited! We are both leaning towards a summertime wedding."
