They say that every soul has their One out there somewhere—and after a false start that left her hunched over and coughing up blood on her Gazebo of Broken Dreams, DeAnna Pappas finally found hers last night on The Bachelorette's season finale. And who, we ask, is more deserving of legitimate and lasting happiness, having submitted herself to not one but two six-week-long cattle-call searches for true love? No one! Learn who DeAnna chose—the very same fellow who scribbled that spell-unchecked grocery list of proposal talking points above—after the jump!

It was a two-hour nail-biter (followed by an After the Final Rose, "Yes, I totally married the guy in the pink shoelaces—isn't that hilarious?! That's how much I really love this person for all of eternity! I saw past those really gay shoelaces!" tell-all) that delivered ABC the highest ratings of the night. In it, Pappas had her two final suitors join her on a trip back to Georgia to meet her parents—on the one hand fun-loving snowboarder Jesse, on the other hand, kindly single dad Jason, and on the third hand, Pappas herself, trying to keep track of who she was at any given moment. Ultimately, she chose the guy lugging the winter sporting equipment, not the the baby carrier, as her One; to the visible dismay of Pappas's father, the two TV lovebirds managed to pull away from their mutual tractor-beam gaze long enough to inform a cooing studio audience of their plans to marry in May of next year.
