Our favorite Bachelor pops the question

“The Bachelorette” also-ran Chris Lambton has found a bride — and not one rose was exchanged during the romantic weekend proposal!
The Dennis landscaper, who was sent packing by Williamstown homegal Ali Fedotowsky on the ABC show last year, popped the question to fellow reality show gal Peyton Wright on Saturday night as they cuddled by a fire pit he constructed in his backyard just for the Big Moment.
“It was perfect,” Lambton told the Track. “It was a beautiful night.”
The Dennis hottie said before he got down on one knee to ask the former “Bachelor Pad” gal to be his wife, he rang up Peyton’s dad in Texas to ask for her hand.
“I’m old fashioned that way,” laughed Chris. “And the man’s from the South, I didn’t want him to pull a gun on me.”
Lambton presented Wright with a 11⁄2 carat diamond designed by her fave jeweler David Yurman. But he skipped the whole rose thing, which is so much a part of “The Bachelorette” brouhaha. In fact, he said, after his thorny TV experience, “I will never, EVER buy her roses.” And who could blame him?
Pretty Peyton, who sells jock apparel in Texas, was expected to move north in November, but her honey hopes she’ll pack much quicker!
“She really loves it here,” said Lambton.
No date has been set because the happy couple has decided to put a two-week moratorium on wedding talk “so we can just enjoy it.” However, Chris told us he and his bride-to-be have thought about doing the deed on the Cape or in the Carolinas, a half-way point between Massachusetts and Texas.
In the meantime, you can congratulate Chris when he puts in an appearance today in Hyannis at Quahog Day, and again at Fenway Park [map] tomorrow where he and Peyton will take part in Cape Cod Day at the ballpark.
So it’s sounds like Mizz Ali is way in the rear-view mirror, Chris.
“Oh, yeah, that was over on the plane ride home,” he said, referring to the trip back apres Rose Ceremony. “Peyton is incredible.”
