According to actress Eva Amurri, finding the right dress wasn’t too dissimilar to finding the right guy.
Amurri, who is engaged to Fox Soccer Channel commentator Kyle Martino, told People,”I tried on a ton of dresses and it was a weird, long process. I thought that I might like a certain one but I wasn’t really sold.”
Amurri continued, “Then I tried on my dress and I just fell in love with it. It’s almost like dating: ‘I think this is the guy,’ and then you actually meet the guy and you’re like, ‘I don’t know what I was thinking about that [other] guy.”
Despite her struggles finding the perfect dress, it seems Amurri, daughter of Susan Sarandon, has help from her fiancé for the big day. “He’s been a good mix of ‘Do whatever you want’ and ‘I care.’” That’s nice to hear!

As the stunning news of Amy Winehouse’s untimely death broke, it was her boyfriend Reg Traviss that flew into the spotlight. Her heartbroken lover has been mourning her death, but is he also mourning the end of his engagement?
UK newspaper The Sun reported that the singer had accepted a marriage proposal from Traviss, complete with a diamond engagement ring, just a few weeks before her death.
Traviss, 35, had also told the paper that Winehouse was not on any kind of drug or alcohol binge before her death, and that it was some kind of freak occurrence that took the 27-year-old singer’s life.
The latest star of the TV show Bachelorette chose her man on last night’s season finale. Ashley Hebert said that her heart belongs to JP Rosenbaum as he proposed to her on the finale in Fiji.
Rosenbaum wasn’t the only contestant to propose. Ben Flajnik, the runner-up, also got down on one knee and proposed to Ashley with an engagement ring. Flajnik said he was stunned by the response he got.
Hebert, 27, refused his proposal, saying, “I’m sorry. I know this was unexpected, and I want you to know this is the hardest thing I’ve done here. This is not easy.” Flajnik responded by walking away in anger and silence. He then said, “You can’t leave something like this on good terms. It’s not possible. I’m in utter shock and disbelief.”
While that moment was difficult, Hebert collected herself for Rosenbaum’s proposal. She was thrilled to say yes and receive the Neil Lane designed diamond engagement ring.
Singer Hillary Scott, of Lady Antebellum, is engaged to Chris Tyrell.
Tyrell, 24, who is the lead drummer of the country music trio Love and Theft, first met Scott when they were both working as opening acts for Tim McGraw’s Southern Voice Tour in 2010.
Over this past Fourth of July weekend, Tyrell proposed to Scott, 25, while they were relaxing at a lake in Tennessee.
Scott told UsMagazine.com back in April 2010 that she felt “blessed” that Lady Antebellum came about the way it did. She said, “Whatever just happens naturally is what we go with. But when it all comes down to do it, there’s a lot of timing and fate involved.”
We can’t wait to find out more details about the wedding and hopefully see some pictures of her engagement ring!
