During the After the Final Rose special, Jason tried to get clarity from a teary DeAnna, but all he really needs to walk away with is all the ''awwwwwww''s the females in the audience gave him. He'll find love, guaranteed. And if you're reading, Jason, my 75-year-old mom wants you to know that you're going to thank DeAnna for making the decision she made. She was so disgusted that she turned the show off as soon as DeAnna dissed your proposal. DeAnna said her thanks go to Brad every day for the decision he made, which she let us know after she left Jason with a few more ill-worded ouches and was reunited with Jesse and they covered each other with kisses and ''I love you''s. And though our D. says she tried very hard to not lead anyone on, like Brad, it could be argued, persuasively, that she led Jason on. The man made it down to one knee, after all (but he did get to dish out a little of DeAnna's prickly medicine during the special, when he told her she never looked at him the way she looked at Graham). The big surprise that host Chris Harrison teased us with all night wasn't that Shayne and Matt have broken up (which I guess wouldn't be that big of a surprise anyway to anyone, but they insisted they're still happily engaged) but that DeAnna and Jesse have announced a wedding date: May 9, 2009. ABC's giving them a honeymoon to Greece, Harrison also declared, but I'm sure that's not all ABC's going to give them. Set your DVRs now for The Second Most Romantic ABC-Sponsored Wedding Ever (or will DeAnna and Jesse's beat the extravagant Trista and Ryan affair?).
Well, Jesse couldn't have played it any better: Friends first, then lovas. Be honest, my TV Watchers, did you really think she'd pick him? I never really bought DeAnna as a free spirit; did you? They've announced the wedding will be in the Bahamas, and we know where the honeymoon will be; what celebrity wedding planner will ABC hire? Or how many of you think we'll never see this couple's happy day? (For those of you who need more evidence of Jesse's charm, we've reprised his winning DeAnna song below in Sound Bites.)
