Just moments ago, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi decided to spend eternity together on The Bachelor. Tears of joy flowed as he got down on one knee in St. Lucia.

Before tonight’s season ender, Jake told PEOPLE that he was pleased with his decision and hoped the public supported his choice: “I just hope that everybody understands the decision I made because I’m the one who has to live with it. The show will keep going, another season will get under way and the public will move on to being obsessed with another person’s budding romance, but my life will keep going so I tried to make the best decision I could, the one that I could live with. I still feel like I made the right decision now a few months later. I’m happy because of that.”

After kicking off the season with 25 women, Pavelka narrowed the playing field down to two: controversial firecracker Vienna and bubbly sweetheart Tenley Molzahn. Although he claimed to be in love with both woman, the 32-year-old airline pilot from Dallas, TX chose Girardi over fan fave Tenley on the explosive season’s four-hour finale event.

Congrats, guys! We give it at least a couple of weeks!

Pavelka will compete on the forthcoming 10th season of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, premiering March 22.
