Video: Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas Is Engaged!
DeAnna Pappas and a Bachelor co-star, Holly Durst, are engaged -- to twins, the new issue of Us Weekly reports!
Pappas, 28, and Durst, 27, who were contestants on separate seasons of the ABC reality hit, met their fiances, Stephen and Michael Stagliano, 26, at a party for 2009's The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special.
Stephen popped the question to Pappas, who starred on season 4 of The Bachelorette and split from fiance Jesse Csincsak in 2008, last May with a 2.12-carat ring.

"I was crying, holding his hands, and he showed me the ring. I just nodded, like, 'Yeah!'" Pappas tells Us.
Michael, who was on season 5 of The Bachelorette, proposed on June 26 at Durst's parents' lake home in Doylestown, Ohio.

"I did it at sunset on a dock with a gazebo. I used fishing line to hang 55 fake engagement rings from the roof," he tells Us. After offering her five fake rings to represent different relationship memories, he presented her with a 1.66-carat princess-cut ring from Boston's King Jewelers.
"I was like, 'Put the ring on!'" says Durst, who was on season 12. Jokes her fiance, "I was kind of like, 'Did you say yes?'"

Now, the group is planning a double wedding for next spring -- which may be featured on a reality show called Four Better, for Worse.
"We're going to compromise on the wedding style. Holly's very girlie, pink and pearls," says Pappas. Adds Durst, "DeAnna likes fall colors: browns and oranges."

One thing they agree on: The big day will be "humongous!" says Stephen. "There are three families. Lots of Pappases," quips Pappas.

Tell Us What You Think
65I LOOOVE it! I hope that they do get their reality show, because everyone I know will watch it!!!! Congrats to you all! Can't wait to see what unfolds!!!Stop hating on them and being jealous cause its not you!
CONGRATS BUT PLEASE STOP DRESSING THE SAME. THIS WAS THE CHEESIEST VIDEO CLIP EVER. ARE YOU 12?
Can someone tell DeYawna Fatass that no one cares who she's marrying after the way she broke up with her first fiance by dumping him in the airport?
That was kind of annoying lol, but cute at the same time, i hope everything works out for them :)
IMHO anyone who takes the time to sit on here and rag on these relationships is Jealous with a capital J. If you don't like it don't bother reading about it.
I can't believe what I just read! What is wrong with you people? Anyone that says that the guys look gay, that they won't get married, how can a school teacher afford the ring, these 4 are stupid and yada yada!! From what I have seen and read Michael and Stephen are 2 very fantastic people. Their parents are fabulous people too. I think that all 4 of them are very very lucky. The reason so many of the bachelores and bachelorettes get together is because they have alot of parties and trips together. They can relate to many things that no one that hasn't been involved in this process can imagine. Also, they are all looking for love. One thing I can say about Jesse is he has done everything to keep the group together. I have come to the conclusion that there are people on here that would complain no matter who the bachelor or bachelorette are. If you want to say derogative things why don't you complain about something we have all seen. There is so much negative words going around today everyone needs to start looking at the good side of things.
I am so happy for these two couples and hope they ignore people who have nothing better to do than place a time frame on how long this will last.
so weird to be reading this then get down to Holly's hometown??? DOYLESTOWN OHIO???? I was born and raised there....didn't think anyone knew where Doylestown was LOL
CONGRATULATIONS! You guys were all so memorable and it's great to see that love really CAN come out of that show - one way or another!
You'd think getting married is the ONLY thing in the world with these schmucks! Get a real life, get involved, get a job, and get off tv! How self absorbed can they be??????
Congratulations ladies!!!! Very exciting!!! Can't wait to see it all come together! =)
These girls are amazing and I'm so happy for all four of them! This will be one incredible wedding! Who wouldn't want to watch it come together.
I seriously can't wait to see this show. Michael was so cute on Jillian's season - I thought they should have made him the Bachelor!
OMG....how many times has Deanna wanted to be engaged, or been engaged? That girl is pathetic. She cried over the first one, threw tantrums in the mansion because the guys didn't pay enough attention to her, and then on to Jesse, and then off, and now this one who she hasn't even know very long. He should stay CLEAR of her! MY ADVICE.
I love these girls and I love that they're happy!
Nice to see two people come together and make something real out of reality tv...
Congrats to the two adorable couples.
Yeah right, here we go again, like this is going to last! These TV people need to realize that they all just get caught up in the moment and after the cameras and publicity are gone and REAL life sets in, the honeymoon will be over AGAIN. How corny, marrying twin brothers, double wedding (I'd want my OWN). What, they gonna switch off brothers too or have a foursome or something? Wait, they will ALL live together in the same house! How cosy is that! My lunch is coming up. What fool people.
Aw, the girls are so beautiful and their twin hubbies-to-be seem like genuinely good guys. So happy for both couples! Good luck! :)
congrats! how fun is a double wedding!? can't wait to hear more and see the show!
