Gorgeous (500) Days of Summer star and indie musician Zooey Deschanel, 29, married Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard in a private ceremony outside Seattle on Saturday night.
The couple dated for almost a year before Ben popped the question to Zooey last December, just after the holidays. Since then she's sported a Neil Lane engagement ring (three carats and platinum - wow!).

Michelle Williams tries dating again, finds love more challenging as a single mom.
Vogue's October issue will feature Michelle Williams on the cover looking gorgeous and optimistic. Inside, she opens up about the dark days surrounding Heath Ledger's sudden death in January of 2008, and her struggle to acclimate to a new reality. Says the 29-year-old:
I didn’t know what my boundaries were for a long time, which made interviews feel very unsafe. I can talk about grief because that’s mine, about single parenting, about trying to balance work and kids. But what I don’t have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship. Read More
There are good and bad ways to pop the question. And then there are terrible ways.
Reed Harris wanted his proposal to Kaitlin Whipple to be memorable. He decided that the best way to achieve this was to take her to Wendy's with a bunch of friends, drop her engagement ring into her Frosty milkshake, and propose to her once she came across the ring. In order to speed along the proceedings, an eating contest was suggested, to see who at the table could finish his or her Frosty first.
But then the unexpected (or very predictable, if you've ever seen a situation comedy) happened: Whipple won the eating contest, swallowing down the Frosty in a matter … Read More

More than 20 years ago, a Newsweek magazine article called “The Marriage Crunch” scared the bejesus out of many women by stating that if a white, college-educated woman hadn't married by age 30, she had a slim chance of ever tying the knot. ... The article was wrong then and now, a generation later, it is even more off the mark.

No word on whether this was before or after seeing The Proposal.
It's a plot as old as the movies themselves: girl meets boy, boy needs to be married for some reason or another, girl agrees to marry boy as a business-only arrangement, wackiness (and maybe a bit of love) ensues.
We've seen it in Green Card (the 1990 romantic comedy that teamed Gerard Depardieu's broken English with Andie MacDowell's stilted acting), The Wedding Banquet (Ang Lee's 1993 gay/straight/race/class/immigration status romantic comedy), 2007's I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (in which Adam Sandler and Kevin James become fake domestic partners for health insurance), and this summer we're graced with it yet again … Read More
