FIRST PHOTO: Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders

Bachelor stars Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders were married on Saturday at Las Vegas' Rumor Hotel, and Life & Style has published the first photo, showing Csincsak in a black suit and Lueders wearing a strapless gown by Oleg Cassini.

"I would never have thought last November when I met Ann that I'd be here marrying her here today," Csincsak told the mag of the day they met on a Bachelor reunion cruise. "Ann is the woman of my dreams. I just wanted her to have the special day she deserves."

Friends and family (there was 150 in attendance) dined on food created by celeb chef Vic Vegas, and ate red velvet Stefanie cupcakes for dessert. Gift bags were stocked with stuffings from sponsors, including Vivitar Cameras, Energy Muse Jewelry, Best Buy gift cards, and more.

The newlyweds are on honeymoon at a "secret location" - though we might expect that their honeymoon photo exclusives will be in next week's Life & Style. They expect son Noah in December.

(Yes, believe us, it pains us to have to include the inset cover of the mag in the shot with yet another ridic Brangelina headline. Leave Shiloh alone, she's a BABY.)

Jesse Csincsak & Ann Lueders wed in Vegas

Former stars of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders were married at Las Vegas' Rumor Hotel on Saturday, August 28.

The night before, Csincsak followed up a poolside rehearsal barbeque with a bachelor party at Vanity nightclub at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, telling People of his wedding day, "I've waited for this moment my whole life!"

The outdoor ceremony was attended by friends including fellow Bachelor alums Jason Mesnick and wife Molly Malaney, Vienna Girardi, and current Bachelor Pad housemates Jesse Kovacs and Natalie Getz. Olympic bronze medallist Louie Vito, fellow snowboarder Csincsak's childhood friend, also attended.

Mesnick and Csincsak both vied for DeAnna Pappas' affections on The Bachelorette, then Ann Lueders participated in Mesnick's season of The Bachelor. "I'm ecstatic," he told People. "Jesse and I have this weird history because two years ago when we were doing The Bachelorette, we said we were going to be there for each other at our weddings no matter what. At the time we thought it was going to be somebody else, obviously. In a small, strange way he ends up marrying someone from my Bachelor season, and it's just come full circle."

The party continued Sunday with a public pool party at the Rumor Hotel. "I'm just loving life," Csinscak told People. "I have a gorgeous, gorgeous bride. I'm so psyched. The whole weekend has gone by so quickly. I haven't had a minute to nap or anything. I think I've had 12 hours of sleep in three days."

Lueders and Csincsak will head off for a honeymoon at "a secret location," before settling at home in Colorado with their two dogs and son Noah, expected this winter. They announced their engagement August 6th; it's the first marriage for both.

Ali & Roberto would love to elope

Echoing the sentiments of many newly-engaged and overwhelmed couples, Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and her fiance, Roberto Martinez, would be happy to elope if it wouldn't disappoint their relatives.

“I think we would do just that,” Fedotowsky told People last week. “Obviously we want to share it with our family, so we’re not going to do that. But it’s so funny — I’ve even caught myself saying, ‘This is my husband Roberto.’ I always thought it would be funny to even think or say that, but if anything, I feel like it’s hard for me not to say it.”

Fedotowsky added, “Planning a wedding is a lot, and we don’t want to go through all the motions. We just want to be married. We’re just excited for that. We’re like, ‘Let’s be married — right now!’"

Fedotowsky and Martinez are currently trying to put together a spring 2011 wedding ceremony, and Fedotowsky is leaning toward wearing Monique Lhuillier on her wedding day.

Ali Fedotowsky "leaning toward" Monique Lhuillier to design wedding gown

For her upcoming wedding to Roberto Martinez, Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky is considering designers for her wedding dress, but is leaning towards Monique Lhuillier, a celebrity fave.

"I like her. I like the flowiness of her dresses," Fedotowsky told Us Magazine at an event last evening. The San Francisco native, 25, also recently shared her plans for the music at her wedding with People.

But other than that, Fedotowsky says planning every detail has been "almost overwhelming."

No date has been set, but the couple are looking at some time in the spring. She tells Us, "We've had so many people being like 'oh, we'll do a new song for you!' and 'we'll give you this, we'll give you that', and we're so appreciative. We have to sit back and go through everything and figure it out. It's going to happen!"

The couple recently moved into an apartment together in San Diego, and Fedotowsky says they won't fall prey to the Bachelor curse. "We don't even think of it like 'are we going to make it a month? Are we going to make it six months?'" she said. "When we're talking about doing things, we're like 'babe, we have the rest of our lives, that can wait, we can do that later, we have our whole lives.' We're going to make it!"

Jesse Csincsak & Ann Lueders talk wedding with People

Getting married on August 28th in Las Vegas, Bachelor/ette alums Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders recently shared some of the details with People.

The night before the ceremony, the couple will throw a rehearsal barbeque poolside at their venue - Vegas' Rumor Hotel. Chef Vic Vegas will prepare a "fun, simple menu for people that like to eat. Nothing fancy or outrageous," Csincsak says.

The rehearsal dinner menu includes: a Peruvian purple potato salad, tortellini pasta pesto salad and an arugula, strawberry and Gorgonzola salad to start. From the barbeque, guests will be served corn on the cob and Jalapeño corn muffins.

Vegetarians beware, the entrees are all about meat: shredded BBQ short ribs, Jamaican jerked honey chicken, Italian sausages with peppers and onions, and Guinness braised bratwurst sausages with sauerkraut.

A dessert of strawberry Twinkie shortcake will finish the rehearsal dinner, but none of it is scaring off Lueders, currently four months pregnant with a wedding gown to fit into in a matter of days.

"The dress is still the same one I originally picked out," she says, "and then it's just a matter of making sure we don't have to let it out much at all. I'm not really showing very much – so I have my fingers crossed just making sure the dress still fits because I really haven't gained too much weight. I think I've gained four pounds, total."

If you'll excuse us, please, we're suddenly very hungry...

Bachelorette Ali picks her wedding music

Engaged to Roberto Martinez on the finale of The Bachelorette this month, Ali Fedotowsky tells People that she's already set her plans for the music at her anticipated spring wedding.

“I want it to be simple: one person, one instrument and that’s it,” she says. “I think absolutely a violinist for that. My favorite music is like Jack Johnson, Schuyler Fisk … people who sit down with a guitar and sing. That’s what I want at our wedding — that rawness."

She also plans to celebrate Martinez' Latin heritage with the song "Bendita tu luz" by Mana, which he played for Fedotowsky on their first visit to their hideaway house before they were allowed to come out as a couple as the show aired. She also has plans to dance:

“Our wedding will be a lot of dancing and celebrating. A live band, and absolutely salsa dancing. Every kind of dancing! I’m actually envisioning Roberto and I making up a dance — a funny, quirky dance that people are going to laugh at.”

Martinez proposed on the season finale of The Bachelorette with a $50,000 Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring by Neil Lane. This will be the first marriage for both.

Jesse Csincsak's proposal nearly ruined by future father-in-law

Former Bachelorette contestant Jesse Csincsak, a snowboarder who received the final rose and was engaged to former show star DeAnna Pappas , was able to surprise current fiancee Ann Leuders with a romantic proposal August 6th - but that was no thanks to her father!

"When I first asked for Ann's hand in marriage, her dad didn't realize that Ann wasn't supposed to know," Csincsak tells People.com. "He went inside the house and Ann and her mom were just chatting and he goes, 'So Jesse just asked me a very interesting question. He asked me if he could marry you.' And she goes, 'DAD! You're not supposed to tell me that!' He didn't do it on purpose, he was just trying to be the happy-go-lucky dad."

The day of the proposal, Csincsak pulled out an engagement ring on the shore of an island in Lake Erie, and after accepting Leuders told him, "I wish I knew this was coming. I would have run a brush through my hair!"

The couple will wed before the end of August at the Rumor Hotel in Las Vegas.

Just in time for Bachelor Pad, former Bachelor series contestants announce engagements to fellow show stars

Sorry, money-making anti-love reality TV show series, we see right through you. Earlier this week, just as ABC's Bachelor Pad debuted, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak, who walked away engaged when Pappas was The Bachelorette, have announced their engagement to each of their new loves - who also have Bachelor connections.

Pappas, 28, announced her engagement to Stephen Stagliano earlier this week, debuting her 2.12 carat Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring. The couple were engaged over Memorial Day weekend, about one month before Stephen's twin brother Michael - who was on the Bachelorette season starring Jillian Harris - proposed to girlfriend Holly Durst with a ring from Boston's Kiing Jewelers. Durst also appeared on a former season of the Bachelor, and both couples met at a taping of a Bachelor reunion special in 2009.

Now, the two couples are planning a TV wedding special titled Four Better, for Worse and a double wedding next spring, and both brides will likely wear Monique Lhuillier.

Also this week, Pappas' former fiance, snowboarder Jesse Csincsak announced his engagement to Ann Leuders, who appeared on Jason Mesnick's Bachelor season and met Csincsak on a reunion cruise to Mexico for the show last year.

He presented her with a $22,000 princess-cut ring from Levit Jewelers in Ohio. The couple have not announced any wedding plans.

So while it seems almost impossible to make a viable love-match during the show's whirlwind filming schedule, the show seems to be picking up some credibility with making love connections, after all. Does this mean we still have to watch it?

Bachelorette Jillian Harris sets wedding date

Recently, RadarOnline interviewed Chris Harrison, the host of the Bachelor series, to get scoop on the current season, starring pilot Jake Pavelka.

During the interview, he also revealed that last season's star, restaurant designer Jillian Harris, had set a wedding date with her final rose choice, Chicago exec Ed Swiderski.

"They have a time, a date, and a place set, and despite what was crazily reported and all that stuff, they are doing fantastic!"

Last summer, when Harris selected Swiderski on the show and they announced their engagement, some of Swiderski's ex-girlfriend's claimed he had cheated on Jillian since taping had finished.With their celebrity status, being attacked is part of the deal but to be attacked like they were absolutely affected them and it was tough for them to deal with. I mean they kind of leaned on the producers, leaned on me, and leaned on their friends, and they've just tried to get away from it.

"With their celebrity status, being attacked is part of the deal - but to be attacked like they were absolutely affected them and it was tough for them to deal with. They're kind of like, 'What the hell are you gonna do?' They are living their lives and they are doing good."

Harrison didn't give any hints on the where and when of the couple's nuptuals. It has previously been reported that the couple were eyeing a simple wedding this summer.

Latest installment of The Bachelor begins tonight

ABC's The Bachelor/Bachelorette reality competition franchise has seen it's fair share of drama over the years, and select few finales have actually led to happy endings.

The original Bachelorette, Trista Rehn, married her Colorado firefighter Ryan Sutter, and the pair now have kids Max, 2, and Blakesley, 8 months. Charlie O'Connell - twin brother of actor Jerry - has remained with his selection, Sarah Brice, but there has been no indication of any trips down the aisle. And season 6 couple Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado reportedly still remain engaged, despite a few domestics along the way. Jillian Harris, last summer's Bachelorette, is currently planning a summer wedding to her final choice, Ed Swiderski.

And now, as The Bachelor kicks off it's 14th season tonight with Harris cast-off, pilot Jake Pavelka, it remains to be seen whether his final rose will lead to marriage.

In a recent blog post on People.com, while Pavelka promises drama and says "I am looking for love," he offers no hints to the show's final outcome.
