'Bachelorette' double engagement: DeAnna Pappas, Holly Durst, Stagliano brothers

michael-stagliano-holly-durst-deanna-pappas-stephen-stagliano.jpgWedding bells are soon to be ringing for more "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants. Michael Stagliano, a contestant on Jillian Harris' season of "The Bachelorette," confirmed Wednesday (Aug. 11) that he and his girlfriend are engaged.

"Holly and I are ENGAGED!!! WHAOW!" tweets Stagliano.

The Holly in question is Holly Durst, a children's book author and a contestant from "The Bachelor: London Calling." The two of them met at the wrap party for Jillian's season "Men Tell All" special.

But that's not all! Michael's twin brother Stephen Stagliano, whom we met during the hometown dates during Jillian's season, met "Bachelorette" DeAnna Pappas through all these franchise meet-ups and the two of them are engaged as well. 

Durst tweets, "♡ Its official ♡." and posted a picture (full version below).

Pappas tweets, "
Stephen proposed to me on Memorial day weekend...different day from Michael & Holly. We each had our own wonderful engagement day" and "Yes, we are planning a double wedding." She also posted a twitpic of her ring (below).

And Stephen tweets, "
I got a feeling....that today's gonna be a good day!" and "@DeAnnaPappas and I are engaged!!!! WHAOW!!!"

Congratulations to the happy couples. We have one question -- will this double wedding be on ABC?

jesse (deannas ex)just got engaged too to a bachelor contestant

I think this is just awesome!!!I would love to see this double wedding!!! Heck I think I would pay to see it.

I'm starting to think that those meet-ups and bachelor/bachelorette reunions are more successful at creating couples than the shows are!

let's hope ABC doesn't spring for the wedding....b/c that's exactly what this group is hoping for

So DeAnna was engaged to Jesse. Then that ended. Then Jesse dated Holly and that ended too. Now both of Jesse's exes are about to be sisters by marriage? Too weird, don't you think. I agree, they should make the bachelor meet ups a reality show in and of itself.

The reunions would be more successful since there are more singles to meet as well as time to get to know them. The show itself does not allow for a whole lot of time to get to know your "match." As well, it is difficult for some to feel comfortable in front of the cameras unless they are looking for fame. It looks like ABC has created their own dating agency with these reunions.

i totally agree with Dun and loved the pics and i too congratulate the happy couples

HI there Holly I'm very happy for and DeAnna. I watched you on Matt show and I liked your hair the blonde old. And I can't look this color make you look tell who is who. So lighten your hair please. DeAnna are you for sure this time I hope so my friend he's the one.time will tell.

I am SO happy for all these folks and their families! Love works in mysterious ways, even on The Bachelor! Congratulations!!!

Stephen Stagliano was my substitute teacher last year!!!! He teaches American History!
