It's been a memorable year for Bret Michaels: he survived a near-fatal brain hemorrhage; he won NBC's Celebrity Apprentice; and now, he's engaged!

On Monday night's finale of his VH1 reality show, Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It, the Poison frontman popped the question to his longtime girlfriend of 16-years, Kristi Gibson -- and she said yes.

In traditional form, the rocker, 47, got down on bended knee and professed his love for Gibson, 39, saying: "I want you to be my wife. Please say yes, or the rejection will kill me right now."
