It's an American Idol shocker – but it's not what you think!
Show alumni Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young got engaged on stage at the show's season 11 finale on Wednesday night.
Before announcing the results of the competition between finalists Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, Ryan Seacrest acknowledged former contestants, including the couple whom PEOPLE first reported moved in together in January.
Seacrest called them both to the stage and said, "dim the lights," like he does at every results show. As the elimination night music played, Young, 31, said, "This has always been home to us and I felt that this would be the perfect place to ask a simple question."
