			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry ladies, but you have to get TV hunk <strong>Jesse Metcalfe</strong> out of your romantic dreams of wedlock, as he is no longer available. Your chances of nailing one of the most eligible bachelors are ruined as the actor is now engaged to be married, according to US reports. But dry your tears as the former Desperate Housewives cast member Jesse Metcalfe, who was Eva Longoria&#8217;s hunky pool boy in the movie and who will soon star on TNT in a continuation of the Dallas saga, has taken on the role of a prospective groom and we should all tweet our kindest regards.</p>

</div>
<p>US Weekly also reports that the beautiful woman to whom the actor proposed is his real life leading lady, <strong>Cara Santana</strong>, who grew up in El Paso, Texas, headed west to become an actress and met Metcalfe a long time ago. It seems that the actor, who plays Christopher Ewing - the adopted son of Bobby Ewing - in the updated version of Dallas, which will air as a TV movie in the US this summer, and Santana have been forming a happy couple  for the past 4 – 5 years and have been living together for at least three.The 33-year-old actor previously dated Courtney Robertson, an annoying model who is currently a contestant on Ben Flajnik&#8217;s season of The Bachelor and Northern Irish singer Nadine Coyle, one of the Girls Aloud singers, but he was never engaged before. As for the young aspiring actress, the media didn&#8217;t dig too deep into her personal life so there&#8217;s nothing to know about What we do know is that she has appeared on CSI: Miami and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.<br />
Asked by E! about the reports of the engagement, Metcalfe&#8217;s rep said &#8220;We don&#8217;t comment on clients&#8217; personal lives.&#8221; Let&#8217;s keep our faith though that the happy couple will reveal details of the betrothal or their impending I do&#8217;s as soon as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Halle Berry</strong>, the 45-year-old actress who made every man steam with her amazing sexy body so gracefully honored by the tight dark suit in &#8220;Catwoman&#8221;, is now off the market. That&#8217;s right gentlemen, Berry is now other man&#8217;s woman and she is so deeply in love that she doesn&#8217;t have eyes for somebody else no more. And since such a beautiful woman couldn&#8217;t consort with a ragamuffin, Berry chose <strong>Olivier Martinez</strong> as partner and future father of her daughter.</p>
<div align="center">

</div>
<p>Of course, this is not the first time the actress gets engaged and then married, as she was married twice before: she married for the first time in 1993 to David Justice, a baseball player, then the two divorced in 1997 and in 2001, she married singer Eric Benét but they separated by 2003 due to his major infidelities and his sex addiction. Then, the Oscar-winning actress refused to get married again and shared her life with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry with whom she has a daughter, the 3-year-old Nahla. Berry left him as Aubry was beating her so hard that she was left partially deaf, and she managed to move on the difficult period of the split which ended in a battle for getting custody of the little girl. In 2010, she met Martinez, Kylie Minogue&#8217;s ex, while they were co-starring in the film &#8220;Dark Tide&#8221;. Since then they have been an item but they didn&#8217;t felt the need to make it official.</p>
<p>Now, on January 11, their reps officially announced that the French actor who was born in the European capital of love - Paris - asked Berry to be his lifetime partner and live together as husband and wife. He offered her a a diamond and emerald engagement ring from Gurhan, as a source told People magazine and she couldn&#8217;t answer otherwise then &#8216;Yes!&#8217;. According to the new issue of Us Weekly magazine, &#8220;Halle had given up on being married, but she trusts Olivier,&#8221; a source said. &#8220;He makes her feel safe. He&#8217;s a keeper!&#8221;</p>
<p>46-year-old <strong>Martinez</strong> caught the media&#8217;s attention when he supported <strong>Kylie Minogue</strong> throughout her fight with cancer and since, he is considered by some to be &#8220;the French Brad Pitt,&#8221; according to the Internet Movie Database. He also played in several films such as &#8220;S.W.A.T.&#8221; and &#8220;Taking Lives.&#8221; As for his recent engagement to the American actress, the media first reported that the couple got hitched on January 3, soon after few photographers caught snapshots of Berry with a ring on her left hand while she was having relaxing date night at Iris, Cirque du Soleil&#8217;s film-history-themed show at the Kodak Theatre in L.A.</p>
<p>As more reports emerge, <strong>Berry</strong> is said to walk down the aisle in California early this summer as she is eager to have more children. The same Us Weekly quotes an insider saying that &#8220;Halle would love to have more kids, but she knows it might be difficult because of her age and the fact that she&#8217;s diabetic&#8221; and because of that the couple is considering adoption as the ultimate resort.<br />
However, until they get married and until they decide upon the way in which they want to have kids, we wish them all the best and may they have a long and happy life together. </p>
<p>Cograts for their engagement!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a great year for many celebrities: some just fell in love, some got engaged and some took the plunge into holy matrimony. From royalties to country or pop singers, actors or reality show stars, everyone in love said &#8216;I do&#8217; with more or less pomp. But enough with the chit chat, let&#8217;s see who are the rich and famous who tied the knot in 2011 and whose nuptials have been an inspiration for all of you out there who plan to do the same thing next year.</p>
<p><strong>Prince William and Kate Middleton</strong><br />
This is not a top list but Prince William, the second in line to the British throne, who wed his longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton, on April 29, 2011 is definitely worth mentioned first no matter what. The young royal couple who won the sympathy and admiration of all Europeans, exchanged vows in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey in London. Their fatuous, fairytale wedding captured the attention of people all over the world and it became a historical event.</p>
<p><strong>Prince Albert II and Charlene Wittstock</strong><br />
Prince Albert II of Monaco is now officially a married man. He gave up his status of the most wanted bachelor and married South African Charlene Wittstock. The long-awaited civil ceremony, which took place on July 1, 2011, transformed the one-time Olympic swimmer into the Princess of Monaco but, unlike Kate Middleton, Charlene didn&#8217;t smiled at her wedding. She had a luxurious ceremony and a bashing party but her eyes were soaked with sadness because of the prince&#8217;s infidelity and illegitimate children. Even so, she entered history not only because of her ravishing nuptials but because she succeeded Hollywood beauty Grace Kelly, who wed Albert&#8217;s father Prince Rainier III in 1956 and died in a car accident nearly three decades ago.</p>
<p><strong>Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell</strong><br />
Sir Paul McCartney, who is listed in Guinness World Records as the &#8220;most successful musician and composer in popular music history&#8221;, having 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million singles in the United Kingdom alone, found his true love and married American heiress Nancy Shevell. They exchanged rings on Oct. 9, 2011, in an afternoon civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. The 51-year-old bride wore a long-sleeved, v-neck, knee-length ivory dress with a flower in her hair, and McCartney, 69, wore a navy suit, both designed by his daughter Stella McCartney. His youngest daughter, 7-year-old Beatrice, served as their flower girl. This was the former Beatle&#8217;s third marriage and Shevell&#8217;s second.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato</strong><br />
Canadian crooner Michael Bublé got married this year and he couldn&#8217;t be more happy. The Grammy-winning singer said &#8216;I do&#8217; to Argentine TV actress Luisana Lopilato in a civil ceremony on March 31, 2011, in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina. She wore a lilac chiffon dress with silver high heels, and Bublé wore a sharp gray suit. After that, they had a full ceremony with hundreds of guests.</p>
<p><strong>Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth</strong><br />
Reese Witherspoon married agent Jim Toth on March 26, 2011 in a less sumptuous ceremony. The couple, who got engaged in December 2010, wed on Witherspoon&#8217;s estate in Ojai, Calif. and it was more like a country wedding.  People magazine reported that wedding guests included Witherspoon&#8217;s kids (with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe), Ava and Deacon, along with Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Renee Zellweger and Robert Downey.</p>
<p><strong>Shannen Doherty and Kurt Iswarienko</strong><br />
&#8220;Beverly Hills 90210&#8243; star Shannen Doherty married for the third time this year. Us Weekly reported that she wore a Monique Lhuillier gown for her walk down the aisle, where her beau, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, was expecting her, and that she donned three dresses in all on her big day. The couple exchanged vows on Oct. 15, 2011, in California, in front of cameras that were filming for Doherty&#8217;s reality show, &#8220;Shannen Says.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Robin Williams and Susan Schneider</strong><br />
Actor Robin Williams, who has three children from two previous marriages, married graphic designer Susan Schneider on Oct. 23, 2011, in California&#8217;s Napa Valley. The actor met Schneider in 2009, according to The Guardian, shortly before undergoing heart surgery and after his divorce from previous wife, Marsha.</p>
<p><strong>Shania Twain and Frederic Thiebaud</strong><br />
Shania Twain married the man whose wife was Twain&#8217;s mistress. The singer and business executive Frederic Thiebaud linked up officially in 2009 after splitting with their respective spouses and this year they got married in Puerto Rico, on Jan. 1, 2011, less than two weeks after their engagement was made public.</p>
<p><strong>Sinead O&#8217;Connor and Barry Herridge</strong><br />
The Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O&#8217;Connor had, one may say, the most special wedding of the year. And we say special because we don&#8217;t like the word &#8220;weird.&#8221; The singer who once ravished men&#8217;s hearts not only with her voice but with her outstanding beauty too, tied the knot with Irish therapist Barry Herridge on Dec. 8, 2011 on her 45th birthday, while sitting in the back of pink Cadillac in Las Vegas. No guests, no white dress, no traditions, no pomp. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been married before, but I&#8217;ve never had my dream wedding in Vegas. I wanted to do it there because it&#8217;s casual, quick, not religious and, most of all, very romantic,&#8221; O&#8217;Connor said, according to Reuters. Unfortunately, their marriage ended after 16 days.</p>
<p><strong>Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert</strong><br />
Country singer Miranda Lambert married her best friend, country singer Blake Shelton on May 14, 2011 in front of 550 family members and friends at the Don Strange Ranch in Boerne, Texas. &#8220;Looking forward to a lifetime of laughter,&#8221; said the bride, who wore her mother&#8217;s wedding gown. </p>
<p><strong>Kate Moss and Jamie Hince</strong><br />
The famous supermodel and The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince wed on July 1, 2011 in the Cotswolds, a 17th century castle in England in a vintage ceremony. Even the bride and the groom were dressed in vintage-looking clothes; the nuptials were simple and lacked the sparkle supermodels are usually surrounded by.</p>
<p><strong>Leann Rhimes and Eddie Cibrian</strong><br />
Country singer LeAnn Rimes and &#8220;CSI: Miami&#8221; actor Eddie Cibrian married on April 22, 2011 in front of about 40 guests, who were led to believe they&#8217;d been invited to an engagement party, according to People magazine. 28-year-old bride and 37-year-old groom met while filming the TV movie &#8220;Northern Lights&#8221;, when they were both married to other people.</p>
<p><strong>A.J. McLean and Rochelle Karidis</strong><br />
Backstreet Boys singer A.J. McLean wed his girlfriend, Rochelle Karidis, on Dec. 17, 2011, in Los Angeles, during a gothic-themed ceremony. Fellow Backstreet Boys member Howie Dorough told CBSNews.com, &#8220;It was unbelievable and crazy. I wouldn&#8217;t expect anything different from A.J. Very gothic, very out there. It was lots of fun. All the guys were there. We partied. We danced our butts off.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Caleb Followill and Lily Aldridge</strong><br />
Kings of Leon&#8217;s Caleb Followill and Victoria&#8217;s Secret supermodel Lily Aldridge, who  wore a white Vera Wang gown, according to Us Weekly, married in an intimate ceremony at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif. on May 12. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the list of celebrities who tied the knot this year is too long to write about, but we could mention names such as:</p>
<p>KISS member <strong>Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed</strong> who wed on Oct. 1, 2011 in front of 400 guests;<br />
<strong>Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo</strong> who became husband and wife on July 18, 2011, in a surprise ceremony at a tropical island in front of 35 friends and family;<br />
<strong>Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz</strong> who tied the knot in a secret ceremony on June 22, 2011, in New York in front of two close friends and their children;<br />
<strong>Molly Sims who said &#8216;I do&#8217; to Hollywood producer Scott Stuber</strong> in front of close family and friends on Sept. 24, 2011, in Napa Valley, Calif.<br />
The former &#8220;Ugly Betty&#8221; star <strong>America Ferrera and longtime boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams</strong> who married on June 27, 2011 in an intimate setting amongst close friends and family;<br />
Reality TV star <strong>Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries</strong>, who tied the knot on Aug. 20, 2011 only to file for divorce after 72 days of marriage; <strong>Brooke Burke and David Charvet</strong> ; NFL quarterback <strong>Tony Romo and Candice Crawford</strong> and so on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Matthew McConaughey</strong> had a lot to celebrate on Christmas this year. He gave his children a very merry Christmas by giving their mother a special and most-awaited gift: an engagement ring.<br />
The 42-year-old actor asked his longtime girlfriend <strong>Camila Alves</strong> to be his wife on Christmas Eve and announced his engagement on his WhoSay account. &#8220;Just asked Camila to marry me,&#8221; he wrote in a post accompanying a snapshot of the couple sharing a kiss in front of the Christmas tree. &#8220;Merry Christmas.&#8221;</p>
<div align="center">

</div>
<p>It seems he has finally found the courage to do what he run away of during their five-year long relationship. McConaughey, who first became known with 1993&#8217;s &#8220;Dazed and Confused&#8221; and has since starred in films including &#8220;Contact&#8221; (1997), &#8220;The Wedding Planner&#8221; (2001), &#8220;Fool&#8217;s Gold&#8221; (2008) and &#8220;The Lincoln Lawyer&#8221; (2011), met his bride-to-be Alves in a Los Angeles bar in 2006 and began dating soon afterward, according to Us Weekly. Alves, 29, who hosted season three of Bravo&#8217;s hairstyling competition &#8220;Shear Genius&#8221; last year and owns with her mother the Muxo line of handbags, seems to be The One for McConaughey. He gave him two beautiful children - son Levi, 3, and daughter Vida, who turns 2 in January - and made him want to built a family with her. He told Esquire magazine in March that his and Alves&#8217; current home in Malibu represents the commitment of their union. &#8220;Before this, I had a super home in the Hollywood Hills,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But that house was mine. And yeah, we coulda gone in there right away. Camila would have said, &#8216;Fine, don&#8217;t change a thing.&#8217; But I thought, I found the woman I wanna do it with, the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together. She needs to have 50 percent of that. I mean, it is a lot easier for me to be at 100 percent. I&#8217;ve always been 100 percent. It&#8217;s braver for me at 50 percent.&#8221;</p>
<p>If earlier this year he didn&#8217;t want to make his relationship legal, pointing out that his parents married each other three times and divorced twice, the actor finally did it without regrets.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been around healthy marriages. I knew I wanted a family and I found a woman I love and felt was right for me,&#8221; he told the April issue of Cigar Aficionado. &#8220;But marriage - it&#8217;s not something we feel we need to be complete. It doesn&#8217;t mean we won&#8217;t do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also previously gushed to People magazine &#8220;I always wanted to be a father. It just took the right woman and the right time to make it happen. [Alves] is the love of my life. Everything is right.&#8221; So, McConaughey is a very happy guy. His personal life is blissful, his career is on the right track so what more could he ask? He recently starred in director William Friedkin&#8217;s as-yet-unreleased &#8220;Killer Joe,&#8221; and played support to Alex Pettyfer and Channing Tatum in Steven Soderbergh&#8217;s male-stripper movie &#8220;Magic Mike,&#8221; due out in June. Perhaps next year he will be less busy with his acting career and find the time to help his fiancée plan their wedding. Let&#8217;s hope though they won&#8217;t elope nor they will say &#8216;I do&#8217; bare naked in the Amazon as the actor once said. &#8220;I&#8217;d have to be buck naked in the Amazon; I&#8217;d go tribal before I&#8217;d go Vegas. I&#8217;ve thought, &#8216;Do I want a huge wedding, or do I want to elope?&#8217; Eloping wouldn&#8217;t go over well with Mom.&#8221;</p>
<p>But until they decide what their nuptials will be like, we wish them congrats!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sinead O&#8217;Connor</strong> has found out this week that nothing compares to tying the knot in the marriage capital of America, Las Vegas. She applied for and received a marriage license so one day before her wedding to 38-year-old therapist <strong>Barry Herridge</strong>, O&#8217;Connor told the Irish Independent that Las Vegas will be the setting for her &#8220;proper rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll wedding&#8221; and she wasn&#8217;t kidding at all. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been married before, but I&#8217;ve never had my dream wedding in Vegas,&#8221; the famous Irish singer said. Asked why did she choose Las Vegas, O&#8217;Connor confessed that she has always wanted to do it there &#8220;because it&#8217;s casual, quick, not religious and, most of all, very romantic.&#8221;</p>

<p>And it was kind of romantic, teenage-like and crazy in the same time as the happy couple chose to unite their destinies in a &#8220;drive-thru&#8221; style while sitting in the back of a <strong>pink Cadillac</strong>. &#8220;She wanted to do the whole thing in a Cadillac. That was her thing,&#8221; a source told People magazine. So, on Thursday, the non-traditional bride arrived at the chapel around 7 p.m. in a pink, low-cut dress that revealed her tattoos, her groom was waiting for her dressed in a  dark jacket and pink shirt and they filled out paperwork before settling into the Caddy at A Little White Wedding Chapel on the famous Las Vegas Strip. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t a traditional dress, but it wasn&#8217;t a traditional wedding either,&#8221; said the same source. &#8220;She cried during the vows and had to wipe her eyes&#8221; and how could she not while scented candles were burning and the choir was singing &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; to her as she had another reason to be happy about - it was her 45th birthday.</p>
<p>However, despite the singer&#8217;s celebrity status, the bride and groom were the only people in attendance at the wedding; even O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s four children missed the event. On the day of the couple&#8217;s departure to the United States, the singer posted photos on her website showing her and fiancé Barry Herridge on their way for what she called &#8220;my absolute dream wedding ceremony.&#8221; She promises to post &#8220;a photo or two&#8221; as soon as possible after the 10-minutes ceremony but she didn&#8217;t, not yet. What we know though is that she is &#8220;a very happy girl.&#8221;</p>
<p>The singer, who said in 2005 to Entertainment Weekly that she is &#8220;three-quarters heterosexual, a quarter gay&#8221; and that she leans &#8220;a bit more towards the hairy blokes&#8221;, met her husband last summer, after she launched a very public search for love &#8212; posting on her website and Twitter about her need to find a mate. She wrote that she was in &#8220;desperate need of a very sweet sex-starved man,&#8221; but specified that they &#8220;must be no younger than 44, must not be named Brian or Nigel, must be blind enough to think I&#8217;m gorgeous, has to be employed and he has to like his mother.&#8221; Herridge, a life-long fan of the singer, responded with an e-mail that caught O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s eye. &#8220;I was getting off a train at Connolly Station one morning when I saw this woman acting strangely on the platform. At first I didn&#8217;t know what she was doing, and then I realized she was playing hopscotch,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t Sinead but a business woman in a suit and in her 30s, just having a bit of fun. I wondered why more women that age weren&#8217;t doing the same thing? And it struck me that this was exactly what Sinead was doing with her search for love, having fun, and I told Sinead about the woman in my first email,&#8221; Herridge added. And after meeting in person, the pair fell in love.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Connor has been married three times before to music producer John Reynolds, journalist Nicholas Sommerlad and most recently to Steve Cooney, who she wed in July last year, but divorced in April and she said she &#8220;had no intention of getting married again but Barry was extremely persuasive.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oscar-nominee and Emmy winner <strong>Anne Hathaway</strong> is off the market. The actress, who just wrapped filming her role as Catwoman alongside Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Christopher Nolan&#8217;s &#8220;The Dark Knight,&#8221; has found her own knight and she is preparing to let the wedding bells ring. Her rep, Stephen Huvane, confirmed to several media outlets that Hathaway and her longtime boyfriend Adam Shulman are engaged.</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/anne-hathaway-adam-shulman-engaged.jpg" alt="anne hathaway adam shulman engaged" />
</div>
<p>The official announcement comes on the heels of several photos of the couple, which captured Anne and Adam taking a walk in the park over the weekend in Brooklyn, with Anne wearing an engagement ring. The actress&#8217; rep confirmed that Adam, who began dating Anne three years ago, has finally popped the big question and the actress of course accepted to give him her hand in marriage at some point in the near future. Adam - a 30-year-old actor/jewelry designer - gave her his total support following the former &#8220;Princess Diaries&#8221; star&#8217;s highly publicized and dramatic breakup with Raffaello Follieri. Their relationship ended after Follieri pled guilty to 14 counts of defrauding investors of millions of dollars when he posed as a real-estate consultant for the Vatican, money laundering and wire fraud. &#8220;I hate talking about the breakup because I don&#8217;t want it to define me, but as is to be expected, there were a lot of lingering trust issues,&#8221; she told Vogue last year of the scandalous split.<br />
Fortunately, after five months, Adam, who knew her for a while, showed her again how it feels to be in love. &#8220;We hit it off immediately, but it took us a pretty long time to get together. Things sped up a bit [when I realized we were both single] - and I think I&#8217;ll leave it at that.   I am very much in love with him, [only] Adam totally ruined my plan, I was really actually looking forward to a little alone time, and then I fell in love like a fool!&#8221; Hathaway told Us Weekly.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old actress, who is mostly known for her roles in the 2010 films - &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8221;, &#8220;Alice In Wonderland&#8221;, &#8220;Love And Other Drugs&#8221;, in the 2007 film &#8220;Becoming Jane&#8221;, 2006 film &#8220;The Devil Wears Prada,&#8221; the 2005 film &#8220;Brokeback Mountain&#8221;, 2004 &#8220;Ella Enchanted&#8221; and many more, said about her relationship with Adam that is low-key. &#8220;Mellow doesn&#8217;t always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life,&#8221; she said. Besides, Hathaway told the German magazine Gala that she saw herself having a married life with Adam, saying, &#8220;I can definitely imagine that, yes. Before, when I thought of marriage, I was afraid that I would only marry for business reasons or because I wanted to live out a little girl&#8217;s fantasy. That&#8217;s not the case anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>Moreover, according to E! News, the engagement ring was designed by Adam in collaboration with Kwiat Heritage jewels. Unfortunately, the couple didn&#8217;t say anything about the upcoming wedding so word has it that the happy couple will have to postpone their plans for a wedding as Hathaway will be very busy playing Fantine in the Tom Hooper film, &#8220;Les Misérables.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Andrea Roth</strong> tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, <strong>Todd Biermann</strong>, last month, on October 7 and kept everything under wraps. No one in the media new that the &#8220;Rescue Me&#8221; star changed her wedding plans and took the vows much earlier than established and in a total different location than the couple announced. Why this turn of events? Well, Roth and Biermann, who met on the set of &#8220;Rescue Me&#8221; in 2007 (she starred as Denis Leary&#8217;s wife on the FX drama), originally planned to tie the knot at a large celebration in the Dominican Republic, but they changed their plans when Roth&#8217;s mother was diagnosed with brain cancer.</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/andrea-roth-todd-biermann-wedding.jpg" alt="andrea roth todd biermann wedding" />
</div>
<p>And so, due to a family drama, Roth&#8217;s altruistic side took charge. She planned the wedding in three short weeks and moved the event close to home. It was a happy day for her as she said to the press a few days ago, but still, it was not just about her. Her nuptials day was one she would never forget but unlike many brides, Roth was not the central figure. &#8220;My mother, Jane, was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer in January of this year,&#8221; says Roth, who will soon join the cast of &#8220;Ringer&#8221;. &#8220;She was very weak so we planned our wedding in three weeks near my parents&#8217; house.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actress, 44, and producer Todd Biermann said &#8216;I do&#8217; at Vineland Estates Winery in Ontario near Niagra Falls. Twelve people, including the couple&#8217;s 18-month-old daughter, <strong>Ava</strong>, witnessed the happy moment and attended the reception. Roth walked down the aisle carrying Ava in an ivory eco-couture gown by Canadian designer Adele Weschler and it seems she was not a Bridezilla. In fact she didn&#8217;t stressed over being too meticulous because she is a mother and according to her, &#8220;When you have a baby, you&#8217;re busy being a mom.&#8221;</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/ava-andrea-roth-baby-at-wedding.jpg" alt="ava roth baby at wedding" />
</div>
<p>The little girl got scared, so she walked down the aisle with her mother &#8220;Then, pretty much the whole time we were doing vows, Ava had to be in my arms. When she got tired, she fell asleep in Todd&#8217;s arms right at the end of the ceremony.&#8221; This may sound outrageous for a bride who didn&#8217;t experienced motherhood, but for Roth, &#8220;it was so special…the three of us, when we exchanged vows [or] the three of us dancing – those are the moments that made me happy&#8221;. Besides, the woman who gave her the gift of life was there, making the day even more memorable. &#8220;Before the wedding my sister and I weren&#8217;t sure she was going to make it,&#8221; she said to People magazine. &#8220;They weren&#8217;t certain she&#8217;d even be able to be at the wedding for an hour. But she was determined to be there. She ended up staying for hours and hours. It could not have been a more perfect day.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isn&#8217;t love grand? After a longtime relationship with <strong>David Cross</strong>, actress and Emmy nominee <strong>Amber Tamblyn</strong> is engaged to be married, her rep confirms to People magazine. The age difference between them is 19, he can practically be her uncle or even father, but this didn&#8217;t seem to bother them. </p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/amber-tamblyn-david-cross-engaged.jpg" alt="amber tamblyn david cross engaged" />
</div>
<p>The 28-year-old actress, who rose to fame playing Emily Quartermaine on the soap opera &#8220;General Hospital&#8221; and starred on the CBS series &#8220;Joan of Arcadia&#8221; and has also appeared in films like &#8220;The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,&#8221; &#8220;The Grudge 2,&#8221; &#8220;Main Street&#8221; and &#8220;127 Hours&#8221; but she recently returned to TV with a role on &#8220;House&#8221; is engaged to be married.  It seems that Cross, 47, who is best known for his outrageousness on the 2003-06 cult sitcom Arrested Development, on which he played the gaffe-prone, madcap Tobias Fünke, popped the big question to Amber and she said yes.<br />
For those who don&#8217;t know very well who Cross is, we can tell that he is a stand-up comedian who became famous for his work on HBO&#8217;s sketch comedy series, &#8220;Mr. Show&#8221; and for his recurring role on the FOX comedy series, &#8220;Running Wilde.&#8221; He currently appears in IFC&#8217;s British-American original comedy series, &#8220;The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret&#8221;, as the actor created, wrote and stars as Todd Margaret, a well-intentioned corporate nobody, who bluffs his way into a senior sales position at the London office for the new energy drink Thunder Muscle.</p>
<p>His future wife is also busy with her career so they don&#8217;t quite get the time to plan a wedding by the book. They didn&#8217;t even set a date for their nuptials, not to mention other details such as venues, menu, dress code, honeymoon location. All these are far far away. Perhaps the two lovebirds are enjoying their status as fiancé and fiancée and they don&#8217;t want to rush things. After all, this is the first reported engagement for both actors, who have been dating since 2009, and they didn&#8217;t make a fuss with that either. They celebrated their engagement with a low-key reunion with their friends and families on the patio at Oscar&#8217;s Cerveteca in Venice, Calif., where they&#8217;ve served beer for the guys and rosé for the ladies, the night continuing with casual conversation.<br />
Congrats to the happy couple for their engagement and hope to hear wedding details as soon as possible!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend was highlighted by some famous weddings. The American Pie actress <strong>Tara Reid</strong>, Dancing with the Stars co-host, <strong>Brooke Burke</strong> and The View co-host <strong>Sherri Shepherd</strong> tied the knot with their beaus.</p>
<p>First was Burke&#8217;s wedding to her fiancé of five years and father of two of her children. She walked down the aisle on Friday, as 39-year-old <strong>David Charvet</strong> was waiting for her. It happened in St. Barts, as her rep confirmed to People magazine. Next day, Burke confirmed that she has finally got the union she wanted after a hot and steamy relationship. She tweeted: &#8220;morning tweeties. Waiting for LA to wake up&#8230;.big news to share.&#8221; So her fans wondered why she made this step after such a long engagement. She gave them the answer: &#8220;We started talking about why to do it at this point in our relationship. &#8216;Do you want forever?&#8217; David asked. &#8216;Yes, I need forever,&#8217; I said. It was just that simple. I would like to have a husband.&#8221;</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/brooke-burke-david-charvet-married.jpg" alt="brooke burke david charvet married" />
</div>
<p><strong>Burke</strong> and her husband are parents to son Shaya, 3, and daughter Rain, 4½, while Burke is also mother to daughters Sierra, 9 and Neriah, 11, from her previous marriage to Garth Fisher.<br />
Then, on Saturday two weddings fought for paparazzi&#8217;s attention: Sherri Shepherd&#8217;s wedding to fiancé <strong>Lamar Sally</strong>, at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, her hometown, and Tara Reid&#8217;s wedding to boyfriend <strong>Zack Kehayov</strong> in Greece.</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/tara-reid-zack-kehayov-wedding.jpg" alt="tara reid zack kehayov wedding" />
</div>
<p><strong>Shepherd</strong> had eight bridesmaids including The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Niecy Nash and Community&#8217;s Yvette Nicole Brown. 6-year-old son Jeffrey walked his 44-year-old mother down the aisle. The bride felt all the wedding nerves and shared her pre-wedding thoughts and feeling with her fans on Twitter. &#8220;Sitting in the room in my gown waiting for Sal &#038; groomsmen to take their pics&#8230; can&#8217;t let him see me b4 the wedding&#8230; but I&#8217;m bored as heck.&#8221; And right before the ceremony: &#8220;What happens when you are in your wedding dress and you have to tinkle? Uh-oh!&#8221;<br />
The 30 Rock actress made it public the fact that she devoted months to trying to get in shape for her big day, even in the day before the wedding, as she did a few last-minute workouts at her hotel gym. Her wedding with the man she calls &#8220;<strong>Sal</strong>&#8221; will air as a special on the Style network on September 13 and it will worth watching, as the bride prepared the large ceremony since getting engaged in December.</p>
<div align="center">

</div>
<p>And Shepherd was the only one who had the wedding of her dreams. Tara Reid said &#8216;I do&#8217; all dressed in white on a Greek island on Saturday to Zack Kehayov, whom she met after she broke the engagement to Internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann in 2010. Unfortunately for her fans, Tara didn&#8217;t reveal much of her nuptials, all we know is that they both wore white, they stepped on rose petals and got engaged and married in the same day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two gorgeous actresses got engaged recently. <strong>Sara Ramirez</strong> and <strong>Julie Benz</strong> found the love of their lives and have decided never to let go.<br />
After she married fellow doctor Arizona Robbins in a ratings winning episode of the hit Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, Sara Ramirez is preparing to walk down the aisle in real life as she just got engaged. the actress – who plays lesbian doctor Callie Torres on the hit show – said &#8216;Yes&#8217; to long-term boyfriend <strong>Ryan Debolt</strong>&#8217;s proposal.</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/sara-ramirez-engaged.jpg" alt="sara ramirez engaged" />
</div>
<p>It seems that Ryan surprised Sara, 35, by popping the question in Paris, the worldwide capital of love and her spokesman confirmed it: &#8220;Sara Ramirez and her long-time partner Ryan Debolt are thrilled to announce their engagement, which took place in Paris, France on June 17th, 2011.&#8221;<br />
Her fellow Grey&#8217;s Anatomy stars were also delighted with the news and one of them said to People magazine: &#8220;Everyone was over the moon when they heard Sara had got engaged and we wish her well.&#8221;</p>
<p>The curvy actress, who previously struggled to accept her body type and whose lesbian character and her support for gay rights led to her receiving hate mails, said in an interview with Latina magazine that she had, &#8220;never quite found my best friend and my romantic relationship all rolled up in one&#8221; as she did with Ryan. It was the first time Sara talked about her private life.<br />
This will be the first marriage for Ramirez, 35, and the cherry top of some amazing years. Her debut solo EP topped the iTunes chart, she enjoyed significant success as the original Lady of the Lake in the Monty Python Broadway hit Spamalot, winning a Tony award for best featured actress in a musical in 2005 and she had a huge success playing in the award-winning medical drama Grey&#8217;s Anatomy.</p>
<p>But Sara isn&#8217;t the only celebrity that celebrates the beginning of a new life with their partners. The former Dexter star, <strong>Julie Benz</strong>, is engaged to her boyfriend of four years, marketing executive <strong>Rich Orosco</strong>. The 39-year-old actress couldn&#8217;t refuse the customized Kwiat cushion-cut diamond and platinum engagement ring – complete with a diamond frame and milgrain edge band that her boyfriend, 38, gave her while popping the question in the backyard of the home they share in Los Angeles.</p>
<div align="center">
<img src="http://www.weddingroundup.com/images/julie-benz-and-rich-orosco-engaged.jpg" alt="julie benz and rich orosco engaged" />
</div>
<p>And this was not all. After four years of dating, Orosco knew that everything had to be perfect for his sweetheart to accept, so he also planned a Mexican-style surprise party with nearly 60 of their closest friends and family and a Mariachi band! &#8220;The proposal was simple and beautiful – and then I was shocked by the pop-up surprise Mexican fiesta engagement party,&#8221; Benz said, adding, &#8220;What girl doesn&#8217;t want to be serenaded by a Mariachi band surrounded by close friends and family? It was absolutely perfect!&#8221;</p>
<p>Benz, who recently starred in ABC&#8217;s shortlived drama No Ordinary Family and is set to appear on USA&#8217;s Royal Pains, will walk down the aisle for the second time, as she was previously married to actor John Kassir in 1998 but divorced in 2007.</p>
