Jim Carrey's Daughter Got Married!

OWD — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:08:17 -0500

Why does this make us feel so old?

Jim Carrey's 22-year-old daughter Jane got married last weekend, and on Wednesday night he Twittered about it: "My Jane is a married women. days ago her and my new son in law alex got hitched... The day was simply perfect... lots of love there.. :)"

He'll have more to Twitter about soon, too: Jane is expecting her first child in march, making him a proud grandpa.

Congratulations Jane & Alex!

Penelope Cruz is Allergic to Discussing Her Engagement to Jarvier Bardem?

OWD — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:19:44 -0500

We've been wondering about Penelope Cruz & Jarvier Bardem's engagement for a while, but while a friend of theirs confirmed it was true in early October, Penelope still won't discuss it.

In this clip from the David Letterman show last night, Penelope says, "I don't feel comfortable talking about my private life in public... I've been here a few times with you, you know I'm tough. One thing I don't do, I don't lie about my personal life... It's sacred to me. It's my life. But I don't give details about it because I am allergic to that."

She probably is engaged, and we'd love to hear her talk about it, but we also love that she keeps her personal life private. With so many what-are-they-famous-for? starlets running around sharing everything (we're looking at you, Khloe), it's nice to see such a talented, beautiful, classy woman keeping romance sacred.

On the other hand, if we snagged Jarvier Bardem we'd be shouting it from the rooftops!

Peggy Olson Got Married!

OWD — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:33:58 -0400

Ivanka who?

Only a couple weeks after we told you about stunning Christina ("Joan") Henricks' wedding, her Mad Men co-star Elisabeth ("Peggy Olson") Moss ties the knot! (Check out Joan's wedding diet here.)

This morning on The View it was announced that Elisabeth Moss and Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen got married on Sunday, October 25.

Congratulations Elisabeth & Armisen!

NIN's Trent Reznor Got Married!

OWD — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:03:36 -0400

We told you about their engagement last May, and now goth/synth icon Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor has married singer Mariqueen Maandig!

Congratualtions Mariqueen & Trent!

Check out the story here!

We can't help but wonder if they rocked out to the NIN song "Ringfinger" at the reception...

Popping the Question On Stage with Mariah Carey!

OWD — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:57:15 -0400

There has been a lot of talk lately about whether proposals should be private, combining wedding proposals and the arts, proposals that double as media events and even on-stage rock-star wedding stuff... and now a true pop diva is in on the action.

Check out this video of a marriage proposal between Maurie Sherman and Matthew Almeida on stage at a Mariah Carey concert, complete with mimi herself 'cheers'-ing them with champagne!

Good thing he said "yes!"

The First Gay Couple Ever on The Newlywed Game Wins!

OWD — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:31:40 -0400

We had no idea The Newlywed Game was still on, which can't be a good sign for their ratings. If anyone should know a show like that is on the air, it's a wedding-obsessed group like OWD, right?!?

Well, they may get more attention now, because for the first time ever they had a gay married couple on their show (Star Trek's George Takei and his husband of 1 year, boyfriend of 20+ years, Brad Altamn)... and they won!

They're donating their $10,000 winnings to the Japanese American Nation Museum, where their wedding was held last September.

Christina Hendricks Got Married!

OWD — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:26:40 -0400

We told you about her engagement and wedding diet a few weeks ago, and now Christina Hendricks (aka, the stunning "Joan" on Mad Men) has married Geoffrey Arend in New York this weekend!

Congratulations Christina and Geoffrey!

Hendricks' Mad Men costar Vincent Kartheiser ("Pete Campbell") introduced the couple last year, and they clicked immediately. She tells People that she loves "everything" about Arend. "He's considerate, he's thoughtful, he's smart, he takes care of me... He's very, very giving."

Taking Your Husband's Name, Years Later

OWD — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:15:03 -0400

Supermodel and Project Runway Grand Dame Heidi Klum has just legally become Heidi Samuel, taking husband Seal's surname... 4 years after their marriage (or as we like to call it, their "first wedding").

The taking of the groom's surname continues to be a hot topic for modern brides, and we couldn't help but wonder how waiting to change names affects the debate. Is it unromantic, in a 'waiting to be sure' kind of way, or is it incredibly romantic in a 'reaffirming my devotion in a totally unexpected way' kind of way?

There isn't a standard rule of etiquette as to when to take your husband's name, because until recent generations there practically no discussion about whether individual brides wanted to take their spouses names.

What do you think? Will you be taking your husband's name? If so, will you take it right away? Do you think the taking of the grooms name is the "right thing to do," is is it more of a personal choice? How to hyphenated last names factor in?

Chris Noth is Engaged!

OWD — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:59:26 -0400

That's right, Mr. Big himself (although we'll always think of him as Mike Logan, first and foremost) is engaged to actress Tara Wilson.

Congratulations Chris & Tara!

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are Making it Work... Literally!

OWD — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:23:44 -0400

It's no secret that we love Ryan & Scarlett, so it was thrilling this weekend when Scarlett made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live the night hubby Ryan was hosting.

How cute! They travel so much for their careers, it's great to see them making their work 'work for their them!'
