Introducing former Bachelorette and soon-to-be Alfred Angelo Bride, DeAnna Papas!

Hello everyone!
I am so excited to be blogging here on the Alfred Angelo blog. I am a huge fan of the entire Alfred Angelo collection. From the wedding gowns to the bridesmaid dresses, the designer duds are among some of my favorite dresses!

 

DeAnna Papas' beach engagement

I'm not sure if you can tell how surprised I am! Totally shocked!

For those of you who do not know who I am, I was the woman who became an immediate fan favorite and was the final woman remaining on the finale of The Bachelor, with Brad Womack, in November 2007. I found out that I was tapped to star as the next “Bachelorette” on an episode of The Ellen Degeners Show that aired in January of 2008. My season of The Bachelorette aired in the summer of 2008. It was a wild ride!! I chose someone but, in the end, it was not meant to be. I have also appeared on such shows as EXTRA, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel, Good Morning America, Hollywood 411, TV Guide Channel, E! News, Entertainment Tonight and many more. In 2008, I was nominated and won the Reality Performer of the Year at the FOX Reality Awards. This was so exciting for me because fans voted every day for me to win this amazing award. Most recently, I was the co-host of the daily television show titled “Get Married” on Lifetime. I now reside in Los Angeles, where I have finally found the man of my dreams, planning a fall wedding, and most importantly, making all my dreams come true.


My fiance is one of a kind, that’s for sure! I feel lucky to have him in my life and as cliche as it sounds, Stephen makes me a better woman. He strengthens me, he gives me balance, and he believes in me. Besides Stephen’s good looks and his sparkling blue eyes, Stephen is hilarious and makes me laugh every day. Stephen is so intelligent and I admire that so much. Stephen is honest, trustworthy, and so strong in his faith in the Lord. He is every girls’ dream and I am just lucky enough to be part of his world…for the rest of my life!
