JESSE: "I would say I knew I was falling for DeAnna during my hometown date in Breckenridge, Colorado. That's when she really impressed my mother and father and they fell in love with her. That was when it was go time for me. I think I even said on the show, 'I'm going to turn it up ten notches and those other guys aren't going to know what hit them.'"ABC/Craig Sjodin - Wednesday, July, 9, 2008, 9:9 PM

DeANNA: "I think for me it was the same thing. When I was in his hometown in Breckenridge, we had just gone snowboarding and we were riding in the car on the way to his house to meet his parents and I was just sitting there. We weren't speaking. He was holding my hand and I was just sitting there thinking, 'Wow, I don't want to live without this person in my life. I will not be OK if I don't get to see this person every day.'"ABC/Craig Sjodin - Wednesday, July, 9, 2008, 9:9 PM

DeANNA: "I went into this process thinking that I had everything figured out, thinking that I knew exactly what I wanted. Somewhere along the way I guess I realized that maybe I don't know myself as well as I thought I did. I've always dated the same kind of guy -- this typical guy -- and maybe it took all of those to lead me to the person that I was meant to be with. Jesse isn't like any other guy I've dated, but it's also the best thing in the world because he's exactly what I want in the long run. He puts me first. He is that person that can make me smile every day. He's always doing these crazy romantic nice things just to make me smile."ABC/Craig Sjodin - Wednesday, July, 9, 2008, 9:9 PM

DeANNA: "I have said many times that I believe mine and Jesse's relationship progressed as normally as possible, especially given the experience, with cameras and everything else around. Our relationship progressed normally. We were friends first and then he waited until I met his parents to kiss me. He didn't jump on the first moment that he possible could have."ABC/Craig Sjodin - Wednesday, July, 9, 2008, 9:9 PM

DeANNA: "People are always going to be skeptical. We can't change everybody's mind, we can only do the best for ourselves. We are a normal couple. We have a normal relationship. I can't go online and go to all the bloggers and the message boards and say, please believe me, I'm really in love. If they don't choose to believe me then there's nothing I can do. I'm really in love, I'm really happy, I'm really engaged, and I'm really going to marry this man!" ABC/Adam Larkey - Wednesday, July, 9, 2008, 9:9 PM
