Jen Schefft: Married to Joe Waterman!

at .

Former star of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette Jen Schefft finally found love ... but not on either show. Just in Joe Waterman, who married her over the weekend!

A "traditional yet modern" ceremony joined the two Chicago natives.

"We clicked early on, and it happened so fast," said Jen, 32. "We just got along so well, it was so easy. I never worried when I'd see him again or when he'd call."

He proposed in September, and all was right with the world. But a month after she got engaged to Joe Waterman, Schefft was laid off from her sales job.

Hit hard by these economic times, Jen Schefft was thus determined to have a low-cost wedding. The small ceremony included fewer than 100 guests.

"You don't want to exclude anyone, but I just wanted close friends and family," she said. "It's about Joe and me, not entertaining 400 people."

Before she found her soulmate in Joe Waterman, Schefft was the winner of The Bachelor's third season and got engaged to Andrew Firestone.

She moved to San Francisco to be with him, but their relationship fizzled and they broke up, as has every single one in the show's history.

Jen also turned down a marriage proposal on The Bachelorette, which begins its new season tonight with Jillian Harris as the star!
