Here are some highlights from Emily Maynard and Jef Holm, the new Bachelorette couple:
On a possible spin-off show about planning her wedding, or a televised wedding:
Emily: "My thoughts on that are pretty clear. I have no interest in ever doing any spin-off show or anything like that ... I have been looking forward to the day when I get to go back to normal and not have to worry about the cameras. And Jef and I can just be two people who fell in love on a show and leave all that behind us ... One thing I've learned is never say never, but I also think a wedding is a private thing. It's one of those things we'd just have to talk about when the time came."
Jef: "I feel the exact same way. I feel like we were really privileged to be able to go through this experience together ... but it is a personal and a private matter, so when the time comes we'll discuss it and we'll decide."Does Ricki, 7, know that her mom is engaged?Emily: "She doesn't know we're engaged yet. It just happened, if feels like we just got engaged again since everyone found out. But I told her that it was a big surprise, and that it was like a surprise party and we don't want to ruin it for everybody. She's a pretty good secret-keeper I found out.
Has Emily met Jef's parents yet?
Emily: "I got to meet Jef's mom the other night, the night of the After the Final Rose. It was a surprise to me. I didn't even know she was going to be there. She was so sweet, just amazing and couldn't have been nicer. And I got to talk to his dad on the phone, and he's the same, just could not be nicer or more down to earth."
Jef: "My family is very close and they are absolutely in love with Emily. They're crazy about her. They're so happy for us. My dad's looking forward to meeting Emily and Ricki and the rest of the family is looking forward to meeting Ricki and having them join the family. They're really excited."
On whether Jef has met Ricki's dad's family, the Hendricks:
Emily: "The Hendricks are just like my own family ... they love me just like a daughter. I've been very close with them for a lot of years. They want to meet anybody who makes me happy. This is our first day even allowed out in public and we've been in New York doing media all day. But I'm sure that meeting will happen soon."
