8 Celeb Couples Who Made It Official During The Holidays
From Christmas engagements to New Year's weddings, these couples made their holidays extra-special.
With all of the mistletoe, roaring fireplaces, and hot chocolate for two, the holidays provide a perfect back-drop for a romantic engagement or wedding. So it's no wonder that the celebrity couples below decided to make their relationships official during the winter months!
1. Some might say that when Marc Mezvinsky married former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, he married her famous parents too, so it makes sense that the family-oriented couple first got engaged over Thanksgiving weekend in 2009. We wonder if it was Chelsea's sweet potato casserole recipe that finally caused Marc to pop the question!
2. Hugh Hefner may have popped the question to fiancee Crystal Harris on Christmas Eve 2010, but, sadly, his New Year's wishes did not come true, as Crystal infamously called the relationship off just days before their June 2011 wedding.
3. Russell Brand and Katy Perry rang in 2010 as newly engaged sweethearts! The British comedian proposed to the Teenage Dream singer shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve inside of a tent at the foot of an Indian mountain. Katy Perry And Russell Brand Are Engaged
