Jillian Harris's feet has not touched the ground since the man she chose for her final rose proposed to her with a $60,000 engagement ring designed by Neil Lane. She and her fiance, Ed Swiderski, confessed their love for each other after a drama filled season of "The Bachelorette". Torn between Ed and Kiptyn Locke towards the end she was then surprised by one of her rejects, Reid Rosenthal, who showed up right after she said "Good-Bye" to Kip and before Ed arrived however no amount of confession of love from Reid could change her mind as she already knew she had fallen head-over-heals in love with her chosen bachelor.

The happy couple admit that they are amazed at how "normal" their relationship has been in spite of meeting on a reality dating show and especially since Ed had left in the middle of the show to get back to his career, but luckily for both he realized that he had made the wrong decision to leave and practically begged the producers to let him back on the show.

Jillian and Ed say that they are planning on making it official next year and in the meantime she will be moving to Chicago to live with him. They are enjoying their lives as an engaged couple who are obivously madly in love.

No word yet if their wedding will be televised on national television, but rather they walk down the aisle on television or not it will be the second couple to get married since Ryan and Trista Sutter who also met on the reality dating show and are now happily married with two children, Max and Blakesley.

Best Wishes to Jillian and Ed!
