On the season finale of The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas shocked America (and Jason Mesnick) by getting engaged to Jesse Csincsak.
Devastated and shell-shocked after his rejection, Jason headed home in his limo alone as DeAnna met Jesse at the final rose ceremony.
Jesse proceeded to get down on one knee to ask DeAnna if she would like to spend forever with him and our girl happily accepted.
DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak announced on the post-show special of The Bachelorette that they are engaged and will get married May 9, 2009.
We don't think Jason Mesnick will be invited.
After the show, Jason had the chance to confront DeAnna for the first time since the fourth season of the show ended. The awesome single dad from Washington State said that he is, without a doubt, still in love with her.
Follow the jump for photos of DeAnna Pappas, Jason Mesnick and Jesse Csincsak from last night, as well as a video of Jesse's proposal ...
DeAnna Pappas responded that she was never in love with Jason. Mesnick took the whole thing well, though, even calling Jesse "a great guy."
The Bachelor stars Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas also made an appearance last night, updating America on their own relationship. Apparently Shayne and Matt have not broken up yet, defying the odds. Will they get married? Who knows.
Here are some pics and a video of DeAnna and Jesse. Do you think she made the right decision, or should she have picked Jason Mesnick?

I think she made a huge mistake. Life isn't all fun and games. Marriage and motherhood are serious choices. I just don't see choosing a snow boarder as a good choice. I liked Jeremy as a first choice and Jason as a close second. I think Jason would have wanted to have children soon, but doubt that Jesse ( 3 J's at the end, did you notice?) would be ready for fatherhood soon. I hope I'm wrong about her choice, but I'm so annoyed I'm thinking that I just won't watch this show or the Bachelor again. Not enough matches really make it, and I'm tired of all the hooplah for nothing in the end.

I was all for DeAnna choosing Jesse. They were friends first, which is the most important part of a relationship. And , so many things happen during the show and off camara that we don't see, so as long as they are both happy. I think both DeAnna and Jesse are adorable and hope they make it work and are happy together for a lifetime.

On paper, either Jason or Jeremy, would have been the "better" pick for Deanna. They both seem to have "everything" going for them (i.e. careers, "maturity", etc). But who are we to judge who's right or not right for her?! Only Deanna knows. And if Jesse makes her the happiest woman in the world, then we can only wish the two the best of luck to them and to their future together.

She made a huge mistake that she will regret in time when the novelty wears off. Like her dad said - Jesse's a snowboarder, how long will that sustain a career to support a wife and family? Was she looking for friend/husband/lover/father material or just some guy to hang out with. All the "soul mate" talk takes time to develop - not just words the way Jesse threw it around - his excuse for "friends first", which Jeremy and Jesse wanted too, was just an excuse for Jesse not to get too close because he was not ready. Jeremy would definitely be the one, followed by Jason. Jesse is far too immature and not ready for marriage. That's why he was so nervous and almost got sick going in to buy the engagement ring! What a pathetic mistake, and I wasted time watching this show. That girl sure wasn't thinking straight. That's if for me watching this show anymore.

I think Deeanna made the right decision. Jesse was down to earth, real and uncomplicated. A good way to start life. Jason was terrific and a great catch, but in the end I got the feeling he was ready to be in love, ready to be married and ready to have a family...it didn't necessarily have to be Deeanna. I felt like Jesse was so nervous because he wasn't as comfortable as Jason was, or as confident. Jason sat on the couch with his arm across the back of Deeanna like he sort of had this all wrapped up. Jesse didn't run in and ask her dad for her hand, he played it the way he had the whole show...slow, getting to know her, the person and feeling out spending a day with the family and seeing her in her element with Jason present. Go Jessee and Deeanna...be happy, happy. Oh and great day to get married.... it is my birthday!

I have watched the show all season without missing an episode. Jason was my pick from the first time he walked up to greet Deanna. There was something there from the get go! Last night I got sick when I saw Jason arriving first and when she walked him to the limo and closed the door that was when my TV was turned off. I got up and went to my computer and played solitaire. I have made a vow not to ever watch the show again, because it is a fluke. No one is there for the right reason.

I also think she made a huge mistake. They seem so mismatched. She seems 100% more mature than Jesse. I had Jeremy 1st, and Jason 2nd. It broke my heart to see those two brokenhearted.
I think this season actually had the best bachelors so far. They seemed to really care and have something going on.
Jesse seems younger and more carefree than Deeana. She seems controlling, and not very spur of the moment. Kind of like everything has to be planned.

I knew that Deanna was going to choose Jesse when I saw that she couldn't keep her hands off of him in the plane. She had a definite physical attraction to him. And I think she knew who she was going to pick way before the last day!!! I feel she kept Jason around as a safety net. If the others did not come through with their feelings then she still had Jason. Poor Jason. I think she used him and I am upset that she led him on like that. Jason was the whole package. I wish him better than that!

I think that DeAnna chose the wrong bachelor. I think that it was funny any time someone asked Jesse what he was going to do after he's done snowboarding, he never answered. Is this the man that DeAnna chose to be her solemate and take care of her forever? Jason or Jeremy would have been my pick!

I think Deanna made the perfect choice. who is anyone to say otherwise. All people know is what the show allowed them to know. We dont' know the real Deanna and Jesse or Jason. and by the way you could tell she was going to pick Jesse because they made it look like Jason was gonna get picked. Only Deanna could make this decision and Jesse is who she loves no one has the right to judge that.
