Bachelorette's Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez on Future

Aug. 3, 2010— -- In a dramatic finale of "The Bachelorette" last night, Ali Fedotowsky chose suitor Roberto Martinez, who got down on a bended knee and proposed to the Bachelorette against a stunning Tahitian backdrop.

"I want to make you smile. I want to make sure you wake up every morning for the rest of your life knowing that you're so, so loved," he said. "Share your life with me. Be my wife. Will you marry me?"

Fedotowsky gladly accepted. But it's been months since the marriage proposal and the engaged couple has had to hide from the eyes of fans and paparazzi.

"We haven't been in a car. We haven't gone to the movies yet," Martinez said in an interview with Cameron Mathison on "Good Morning America" Tuesday.

"We kind of went to the movies," Fedotowsky said with a laugh. "We both went to the same movie at the same time. I went at like 7 o'clock West coast time, he went at like 10 p.m. in Charleston…And we took pictures with our phones and sent them to each other."

The couple said they loved watching the finale, which was like their own real-life movie. Fedotowsky admitted to Mathison that she watched a tape of Martinez's proposal eight times.

"He said during the proposal, 'I want every time that I'm with you to let you know that you're so, so loved.' And he does do that now, you know, outside the show," Fedotowsky said.

"I'm a lucky man," said Martinez, who had long been the competition's front-runner. Fedotowsky clicked with the 26-year-old ex-baseball player from Tampa from the beginning.

With their relationship now out in the open, the couple plans to live together. Martinez said he will move his insurance business from South Carolina to San Diego, where Fedotowsky lives. The former ad rep said she's happy to be a homemaker until she finds the job of her dreams.

The couple has yet to set a wedding date.

"Maybe next summer. I'm just looking forward to enjoying that normal life and kind of having that normalcy and enjoying each other," Martinez said. "Maybe we'll do it sometime next year."

In light of recent Bachelor couples, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi who went through a very public break up, the couple said communication will be key to avoiding the downfall.

"For me, it's communication, but I know how much we love each other and that's the center of what we have," Martinez said.

"Just the fact that we love each other and the dynamic of our relationship and the way we communicated -- I think that's what's going to make it last despite all the outside, sort of distractions," she said.
