What more ordinary mortals like you and me? Oh well, I got married in January this year myself! What is it with 2009, and what luck does it hold for us?

After the Harrison Ford-Calista Flockhart hush-hush engagement, here’s a short list of famous people who tied the knot and who’s set to walk down the aisle soon. Pardon me, am star-struck!

Christina Ricci and Owen Benjamin, both actors. She’s 5′1″ and he’s 6′6″, but that hasn’t kept them from playing perfect music together. We just hope they’ll not have their own Addams Family in the works, or else….

Danica McKellar, who played Winnie Cooper in The Wonder Years, married her long time beau, musician Mike Verta, in an ocean-side ceremony in La Jolla, California. She’s a brilliant mathematician, but one plus one isn’t really hard to add up, this case

Statuesque singer Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams of the country rock band The Cardinals got hitched in a simple courthouse ceremony, after an on-and-off relationship. He’s 34 and she’s 24.

Another on-and-off affair that ended in a Paris City Hall wedding were that of actress Salma Hayek, 42, and her French billionaire boyfriend, Francois-Henri Pinault. They have a child, Valentina Paloma, who was born more than a year before the marriage.

The Late Night Show host David Letterman, 61, and long-time girlfriend Regina Lasko,48, have married before a Justice of the peace too. They have a five year old son named Harry.

Don’t forget Bruce Willis, who married model and actress Emma Heming, at his house in Turks & Caicos recently. The funny thing about this: Demi Moore was also there with Ashton Kucher and the whole brood.

It helps that the two, who met in the 2002 Golden Globe Awards, are sufficiently matured of age. There’s a 22-year age gap between them. Calista is 44 to Harrison’s 66, and this could be his last major relationship, errr, marriage. He’s tied the knot twice before and this is her first.

We await further news on how the lovebirds will go about their planned wedding. I mean, it’s old when news of their engagement comes out on the third week of March, when in fact, Mr. Ford popped the question Feb. 14 yet. Naked Chef Jamie Oliver will reportedly be tapped to do the catering.

One of the proposals that caught my eye recently was the case of this young man who put the engagement ring he intended to give his girlfriend in a cup of Wendy’s Frosty. Everything wen’t awry when she ended up swallowing the ring without knowing it! The picture, and full story, in this American girl’s blog

Rating: Funny, and yucky at the same time. Imagine trying to find the ring in your pile of poo, and cleaning it all after.

An example of comic relief, I should say!
