Ryan Reynolds, 35, and Blake Lively, 25, got married over the weekend!
I love them as a couple. I’ve been a fan of Blake’s since she starred in the ultimate BFF movie, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. She then landed her starring role on Gossip Girl and became a style icon. She always looks so fresh, young, and trendy. (Check out that awesome orange dress and chunky jewelry below!) I also love that she’s a tall gal (5′ 10″). She dated her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley for a LONG time before they broke up and she was seen around Malibu with superstar Leonardo DiCaprio. That fizzled after 5 months and then she cozied up with Ryan, her co-star in Green Lantern. Ryan, BTW, had recently divorced Scarlett Johansson. (Are you keeping up?)
Ryan and Blake have been pretty low key for a famous Hollywood couple. The only news stories about them were that they were buying a home in Bedford, NY and were then seen antiquing. (Love them more!) There were a couple of sightings of them working out in a gym and then spending some time with their extended families in New York and Vancouver (where Ryan was born.) But then the biggest news broke last night: They are married!
The coolest part for me was that they tied the knot at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., just outside Charleston! Hubbie and I were married in Charleston, SC 11 years ago this Saturday. Charleston is a magical place and I love when other couples get married there. The reception took place in a white tent at the plantation and Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine) performed three songs. There was also word that Bette Midler, a good friend of Blake’s mom, was in attendance.

Congrats to the happy couple! Hey, maybe we’ll see you in Charleston one anniversary weekend?
