As a blogger I have regurgitated a number of Hollywood stories about engaged couples and the diamond engagement rings and wedding bands that they wear, and stories like this one although short and to the point, are nevertheless very exciting to blog enthusiasts.

Jensen and Ackles Engaged!
Jensen Ackles and his longtime girlfriend Danneel Harris are officially engaged, as her rep confirmed to JustJared. The 31-year-old Ackles perhaps best known for starring as Eric Brady in TV series Days of Our Lives, now stars in the CWs Supernatural. 30-year-old Harris stars as Rachel Gatina in The CWs One Tree Hill.
According to JustJared the two lovebirds have been dating for about three years but have been friends for nearly a decade and co-starred in the 2007 romantic comedy Ten Inch Hero. The couple made an appearance on Saturday November 7th watching the horses race at the Breeders Cup World Thoroughbred Championships at Santa Anita Park in Los Angeles, where Danneel got a chance to flash her diamond engagement ring. They do make a very handsome couple. No word yet on a wedding date.

Stars from two different shows on the CW are planning a real life wedding. Star of ‘Supernatural’ Jensen Ackles and Danneel Harris of ‘One Tree Hill’ have announced their engagement! The two had acted together in the independent romantic comedy film ‘Ten Inch Hero’ in 2007. On November 7, 2009 the couple attended the Breeders Cup, where the lucky lady showed off her new diamond engagement ring. Jensen and Danneel have been dating for 3 years, but have been friends for 10 years. I think that this is a recipe for a successful Hollywood marriage. The news was confirmed on Danneel’s Twitter account as simply “YES!”.
All the best to this lovely couple on a future full of happiness and high ratings!! When will the big day be and what kind of wedding bands will they choose???

Many couples want the day they get engaged to be unique. An occasion that they can remember fondly and share with their family and friends. Well, some guys have really thought about how they can make their proposals memorable. Here are a few clever ways that some men have come up with to ask for their ladies hand:
MEGATOUCH: We have all seen these game consoles at bars and restaurants, but how can you incorporate that into a marriage proposal? Patrick Leonard of Washington DC got the creators of MEGATOUCH to get involved in personalizing one of their games. His girlfriend loved the WORD DOJO game so he had one of the clues spell out his proposal to her. That is clever, and i’m sure she wasn’t expecting it!!
CROP CIRCLES: Not circles per se, but Jason Kahle of Ohio was able to spell out his proposal in a wheat field. He then took Aleasha Decker, his now fiancee, up in a plane to view the his handiwork.

“HAY” HENGE: In Germany, a farmer said it in hay to propose to his girl. Markus Schmidt used his resources to create a hay version of stone henge asking for to marry him outside of her window.
I hope this gives you some inspiration to be creative when you finally pop the question!! Remember this is a story that will be told and re-told for years to come, so make it really remarkable. Of course the engagement ring is just as important as the story it invokes.

Finally after a long hard road of trying to make it in the American music mainstream, the Kings of Leon has had great success! Their album released earlier this year ‘Only By the Night’ featured the hit single that has gotten them much popularity ‘Sex on Fire’. The drummer of this seasoned band has finally gotten his love on fire by getting married this weekend!!

Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has wed his girlfriend, singer/songwriter Jessie Baylin. They tied the knot around 5 p.m. in a rustic barn at Wolf Den Farm in Brentwood, Tennessee in front of close friends and family. Shortly after the events Nathan had tweeted a picture of his wedding band, while Jessie officially introduced herself as Mrs. Followill.
The couple first met at the music festival Bonnaroo in 2006, and hit it off immediately. Since then they have been touring the world, and he had given her an engagement ring earlier this year. Nathan has been boosting Jessie’s career in the process by just being associated together.

Tara and the Billionaire...
We all know that she has had her share of ups and her frequent share of downs, but if this is true and Tara has received an engagement ring then good for her! We are happy; the world is happy.
Word has it that Tara Reid is engaged to Michael Axtman, a billionaire and Internet entrepreneur from Germany.
These rumors are coming from people who have seen Reid donning a large pink diamond ring on her left hand which is a hard thing to miss, and sources have also noticed the couple traveling together in St. Tropez and Germany.
Anyway, a handsome internet billionaire?! Way to go Tara! With a wallet like that we can only suspect that the ring on her finger is a RITANI. And of all the engagement ringsout there a pink diamond center is definitely something different.

Mickey Rourke
Wedding bands couldn’t keep them together, at least this is what Entertainment Daily is reporting.
Having made it through an emotionally scarring divorce from his marriage to Wild Orchid star Carre Otis, Mickey Rourke is calling it quits on getting involved with actresses from now on.
After he was arrested for spousal abuse in 1994 things went sour for the couple and although the charges against Rourke were dropped, as a result of a subsequent reconciliation, the pair however failed to patch things up and in 1998 a divorce was finalised. Time, as it would seem appropriate, had given him another chance to focus again on his acting career and not on engagement rings for a while!
Now as he is poised to co-star in a couple of up and coming films with Hollywood beauties Megan Fox and Eva Green, Rourke is saying he will not be “tempted to romance or live with another movie star actress no matter what they look like, saying, “I’m working opposite Megan Fox and Eva Green next, and I’m certainly not complaining. But I’ll tell you, once bitten…”
