GH's Chad Duell and Y&R/B&B star Courtney Hope plan to tie the knot

Soap stars Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos, General Hospital) and Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra, The Young and the Restless/The Bold and the Beautiful) are thrilled to share that they now call each other fiancéés!

Congratulations are in order for Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos, General Hospital) and Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra, The Young and the Restless/The Bold and the Beautiful), who got engaged on Valentine's Day.

Hope shared the news in an Instagram post that shows off her huge, glittery sapphire engagement ring as well as another shot that shows her and Duell being -- shall we say -- very cheeky. Very cheeky, indeed.

Duell also shared the collection of engagement photos along with the super sweet caption, "I'm one lucky dude."

As soap fans may know, Duell and Hope are said to have met several years ago at a party by Duell's former GH castmate, Bryan Craig (who played Michael's brother, Morgan). The pair are deliriously happy together, which they showed with the Valentine's Day posts that they shared before breaking the news that they plan to tie the knot.

On February 14, Duell wrote to Hope on Instagram with the message, "Happy Valentine's Day to this beautiful woman! I love living life with you, and I am a very lucky man!"

Hope wrote to Duell on Instagram, sharing, "Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life. I'd choose you over and over again if I had the chance. Thank you for all you are. Growing, learning and loving alongside you has been more incredible that I ever imagined."

With all of that romance kicking off the start of the pair's lives together, there's no way they won't have a happily ever after -- and then some!
