As an update to my July 28th entry, Ivanka Trump has gotten married this weekend. Jared Kushner is the lucky man to have taken her hand and given her a wedding band. The event was no less than spectacular, considering Donald Trump does nothing on a small scale.

Ivanka and Jared had 500 guests in attendance to share the big day with them at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day for the beautiful bride, as the weather was just gorgeous and made for great photographs. What’s more amazing is that she couldn’t have been less of a Bridezilla that day as she Tweeted “Just finished a gorgeous hike. The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I’m getting married today!” How much more together can you be on your wedding day?!
Good luck to these two on their marriage, and a wonderful life together. Keep a lookout for the pictures from this big event and get a sneak peek at the wedding bands.

Jason Mesnick from last season has given up his ‘Bachelor’ status and proposed to the runner-up to his heart Molly Malaney. He had ended the season giving one of the final roses to Melissa Rycroft, after which they went off to New Zealand where he proposed to her on national television. On a wrap-up episode, Jason put the kibosh on his proposal to Melissa and chose the runner-up Molly instead.

Since the fated episode, Jason returned to the island nation with his new love Molly and a diamond engagement ring. I wonder if it was a RITANI ring?? He proposed to her a week later and she accepted. Supposedly it’s the real deal this time around, as he “contended he was being true to his heart, and that his reversal was the right thing for everyone, including Rycroft” (who got engaged to a former beau herself several months later).
Molly has forgiven him for not choosing her from the start. They have been seeing each other as much as they can considering she lives in Milwaukee and he in Seattle. Jason and Molly were guests of Air New Zealand, who hired them to host the world’s first “Matchmaking Flight,” where 100 singles from North America traveled from L.A. to Auckland, New Zealand.
These reality shows sure pack a lot of drama but I am concerned about the lack of substance. Will these two actually walk down the aisle together or is this just another way for him to get a little more out of his 15 minutes.

As seen so many times in the reality world we have a contestant from one show getting their own reality series. This time its a reject from the Bachelorette. It seems Jake Pavelka made an impression with the viewers when he wasn’t chosen by Jillian Harris because he was “too nice”. Well even though reality thrives on drama people also want to see a good guy win. So there is your premise for the new season of “The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love”, season 14 premieres in January 2010.

Jake is a pilot from Dallas, TX, hence the subtitle of the show, and getting a chance to find love on his own terms. He says that he’s looking for a girl that is more than just a beauty. He wants to find someone that is so perfect that he will think she is beautiful regardless of what others may say. This sounds very nice and sincere, so I hope he gets to choose from some quality girls who have more substance to them aside from looks.
I find it interesting that women still find the bad boys so desirable when they give them more grief than happiness. Jillian didn’t choose Jake as he was “too nice” and ended up choosing a guy who has been rumored to be in a relationship with someone else. Jake has set his standards for this next lady to be “compassionate, passionate, romantic, and protective”. It sounds like he is looking for more than a contestant but a wife.
Good luck Jake in your pursuit of the ‘perfect’ woman. So as you hand out those roses, I hope you have success and happiness throughout the dramatic reality world. Maybe this will be his chance to give some lucky lady a RITANI engagement ring!

The latest in the Hollywood marriages goes to Mad Men Star Christina Hendricks! She married actor Geoffrey Arend most recently appearing in 500 Days of Summer. The couple had been engaged for a year and tied the knot in NYC Sunday. It seems they are keeping in the theme of the retro style of Christina’s show as seen in photos of the event at an Italian restaurant. The wedding party were dressed in modest but fashionable 60’s style suits and dresses for the occasion.
Christina and Geoffrey exchanged platinum wedding bands, I wonder if they were RITANI as they said their vows to each other. They seem to be very happy and I wish them luck in this new phase of their lives.

Bardem and Cruz engaged?
Us Weekly is reporting that Hollywood heartthrobs Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are engaged, but they are also saying that the couple is keeping the engagement very “hush hush”.
Reports are coming in mentioning that Bardem 40 and Cruz 35 are indeed planning on walking down the aisle together but at this time there are no details about when and where the nups will take place. Cruz says she is very interested in starting a family and having kids but that marriage is not necessarily on the top of the list.
Back in August she told Britain’s Psychologies magazine that she wasn’t exactly ready for marriage saying, “I believe in family, love and children. I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.”
So question is did she get a designer engagement ring? Sources are not saying anything since news of the likely engagement is being filtered down. It is obvious however that the
couple is serious since a close friend of Bardem and Cruz did tell The New York Daily News’ Rush & Molloy that the couple are in fact informing friends that “they will be getting married.”
Well engagement ring or not we hope the very best for them.

Jake and Reese
On Wednesday Reese Witherspoon was spotted in LA wearing what looked like a gold designer engagement ring according photos snapped by Paparazzi.
But according to Access Hollywood, Reese is not engaged to boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and the bling in question is not a designer engagement ring.
A source said, “Reese looked delighted, and she was definitely showing off the ring. She kept holding her finger up for people to see, she even flashed it around when she was getting in her car.”
The couple, who met on the set of the 2007 film “Rendition,” have been fending off marriage rumors for quite a while. This is not the first time it has been reported the couple-who began dating in 2007-are planning to marry. Earlier this year, Jake was spotted ring shopping in New York. In March, it was claimed Reese removed a sparkly band during a photo shoot as she didn’t want people to know she was planning to walk down the aisle.
Could Jake be working on surprising Reese anytime soon, or are we going to have to keep speculating?!
