Apparently Jason Trawick popped the question last night — on his 40th birthday (which means they are both Sagittarius? Wow). This will be Brit's third marriage and last night she tweeted, "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!!" We can only assume ring pix are forthcoming. Best wishes! More »

At first we thought this video of Arvin Shandiz proposing to Alexandra Williams, who he met on a Delta Air Lines shuttle, was adorable. However, after hearing the flight attendant's announcement at the end of the video, we're just cranky. Why do we always wind up on flights with stinky dudes and unruly children rather than cute couples who want to buy everyone a drink? More »

Another sign that these are tough economic times: Many men are only spending three weeks' salary, rather than the recommended three months' salary on engagement rings. A study by the British home insurance firm LV found that nearly two thirds of grooms buy rings that cost less than a month's paycheck. People losing their jobs and struggling to pay bills is one thing, but to see men ignore a tradition concocted by DeBeers to sell diamonds is truly tragic. More »

Juliana and Benjamin are getting married. Naturally, they had a series of engagement photos taken to show their family and friends, but this time with a zombie-riffic twist. Don't worry, judging by the photos, the pair will certainly be able to hold their own when and if an actual zombie attack occurs. [WeddingJoJo] More »

I could blame the tear in my eye on this story of a "down on his luck" guy, how he met his future wife, and their emotional engagement. Or perhaps it's because of the whimsical editing and smart storytelling in this beautiful short film. Hell, maybe it's the soundtrack. I don't know. But this absolutely, positively gotten to more than one Jezebel staffer today. Whatever, shut up. More »

I never knew how much I hated the word "fiancé" until I got engaged. I kind of cringe when I have to say it to people I don't really know and lately, I've been finding myself saying "my boyfriend," then quickly, quietly adding "or fiancé, whatever." The word just sounds so pretentious and fruity, and it inherently implies a kind of smugness about marriage that I find embarrassing. But there's pretty much no alternative, because its synonyms - "betrothed," "intended," "promised" - are worse. After doing a quick poll of married and engaged friends, I realized that this word is universally uncomfortable and awkward. Let's brainstorm for a new term after the jump. More »

Scarlett Johansson's rep has confirmed that the actress (whose album drops May 20) is indeed betrothed to Ryan Reynolds, whose sheer physical perfection will not be noted, because that would be shallow. Not to mention plain-old objectifying, which is not cool. Anyway. Last we heard they were on the rocks but it seems all is well! Ready for another Hollywood wedding? [People] More »
