The Bachelorette

Bachelorette Deanna & Jesse Scaling Down Their Wedding

September 22, 2008

When it comes to weddings, The Bachelorette’s happily engaged couple DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak are thinking small.

“We’ve gone from about 400 people, and we’re breaking it down,” DeAnna Pappas told PEOPLE at Saturday’s Los Angeles Confidential pre-Emmy party in Hollywood. “I think we want to enjoy ourselves and our day versus having to talk to a bunch of people all day long. So, we’re dwindling it down.”

With a wedding date set for May 9, 2009, the couple says they are at square one with planning. “I don’t know how people plan a wedding,” Pappas, 26, said. “I know what color I want my dresses to be, and bridesmaids’ dresses. He wants a cheesecake. And that’s about as far as we’ve gotten.”

“Our relationship obviously is our main focus, and then as well as the wedding on top of that,” Csincsak, 26, told PEOPLE. “It’s not this huge thing everyday. We’re both so busy all the time. We don’t have time right now to plan a wedding, and we’re planning a wedding, which is crazy.”

As for Bachelor stars on the wedding invitee list, you can count ex-Bachelorette Trista Rehn and host Chris Harrison among them.

“I’m friends with a lot of the guys from the same season I was on, Jason being one of them,” said Csincsak, who led his fiancĂ©e around Saturday’s party by the hand. “[Chris] Harrison is a great guy. Trista and Ryan [Sutter] have been super-influential to us. We’re psyched to have all of them there.” –Nicholas White

Hopefully it isnt a publicity stunt. Trista and Ryan are a very rare couple, but these two..I have my doubts. After Jason, I hope the Bachelor is done.

Tracy September 22nd, 2008

I’m still bummed that Matt and Shayne didn’t work.

Cathy September 22nd, 2008

I know the bachelor doesn’t have the greatest odds, but when you compare its success rate to dating success rates in the real world…those results are actually pretty good. I don’t know about you, but I had to date more than a couple guys before I found the ONE. So we are at about 1 in 7 working…not too shabby.

I may be a cynic, but as time moves along, I won’t be a bit surprised if they don’t get married.
