Sean Lowe marrying Catherine Giudici 'soon'

Sean Lowe is getting ready to dance down the aisle - and with the stars.

The hunky "Bachelor" plans to marry fiancee Catherine Giudici in the very near future in a televised ceremony on ABC, he announced Monday night, and to join the cast of the network's "Dancing With the Stars," which premieres its 16th season on March 18th.

The made-for-TV couple announced their wedding plans on Monday's "After the Final Rose" special, which followed the pre-taped "Bachelor" season finale, in which Lowe popped the question a few months back.

"A marriage follows a proposal," said 29-year-old Lowe, adding that the pair thought it'd be "cool" to marry on TV because that's where their relationship developed.

"[It'll be] soon," added Giudici, a 26-year-old graphic designer. "I don't see why there would be any waiting period. I want to be his wife."

Rumors have swirled that Lowe, a devout Christian, is a "born-again virgin."
In the finale, Lowe chose Giudici over Lindsay Yenter, 25.

Only two "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette" duos have made it down the aisle since the process started in 2002.
