'The Bachelorette''s Jillian Harris & Ed Reveal Wedding Plans
Copyright 2009 ABC / ABC
On Tuesday night's "The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose" special, Jillian Harris and her fiancé Ed dished on how soon they plan to walk down the aisle -- plus, Jillian shared emotional words with two of her heartbroken suitors, Kiptyn and Reid. Read on for the full recap!

 

First up, Melissa Rycroft returned and admitted to host Craig Harrison that she now feels Jason Mesnick was right to choose Molly Malaney over her on the shocking conclusion of last season’s “The Bachelor.”

“It’s definitely been something I’ve embraced and I love,” Melissa said of getting dumped by Jason on TV. The 26-year-old "DWTS" finalist is planning to tie the knot with Dallas insurance agent Tye Strickland, 28.

Then it was time for "The Bachelorette's" showdown with two of her spurned suitors. Jillian first shared the couch with Kiptyn, who on the show's season finale approached "The Bachelorette" with an engagement ring in pocket but was turned down.

"What could I have done differently?" Kiptyn asked Jillian on the couch. "You didn't do anything wrong," Jillian responded, voice wavering with emotion. "You're somebody that made me feel very loved."

Kiptyn accepted Jillian's answer but admitted earlier that the rejection was "crushing."

Next, Jillian went face-to-face with Reid, who made a surprising return from elimination -- and an even more shocking proposal to Jillian -- on the show's finale.

"When I came back, was there a part of you that wanted to say 'yes'?" Reid asked Jillian on the couch. She replied: "I think you know I knew that when I let you go I wasn't ready to let you go."

She then thanked him for returning on the finale, but confessed that having to reject him was "heartwrenching." "I still feel hurt and I don't want him to hurt," she said. Reid, for his part, said he thought his surprise proposal would be a "slam dunk."

Finally, Jillian and her true love Ed shared the couch -- not to mention several smooches. Ed revealed that Jillian is planning to move in to his downtown Chicago pad soon. He then predicted they will get married within the next 12 months.

"It feels good so far, and I'm just excited to really get out there [together]," the 29-year-old technology consultant said of life with Jillian. He added they'd only been apart about five days total so far this summer.

"I'm in a very good place right now," said a bubbly Jillian. "I'm so lucky."

  • Seriously Reid was too good for her. She isn't classy and..Ed? Seriously, I don't find him appealing rather creepy and old looking. Reid was perfect I'm not sure why she's so blinded to see.

  • Jillian is smart to go for the guy who adores her and was clear that he wanted to marry her. The other guys jumped to propose because they did not want to lose her, not because they were sure about marriage to her.
