What’s Up in Hollywood Wednesdays: Pop Princess Hilary Duff Marries NHL Player

JessiFirefly posts your weekly dose of pop culture.

Pop princess Hilary Duff and Edmonton Oilers hockey player Mike Comrie tied the knot at the San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara last weekend. The wedding was fairly small and intimate for a celebrity wedding with only 100 guests. Comrie, 29, and Duff, 22, were wed at 8 p.m. under an arch of flowers.
Many celeb weddings get blown out of proportion or end up on the cover of magazines. There will be reports on who made the dress, who wore what, who attended and who was seen talking to who. This was not one of those weddings as it remained very private. The couple wanted it to be an intimate ceremony.
The reception was held at a private estate located just minutes from the San Ysidro Ranch. According to Radar Online, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony chose the same venue to spend their wedding night in 2004. The rates are roughly about $4000 per night, depending on the time of year. After the wedding, the couple held a brunch on Sunday at the Ranch for all of the out-of-town guests. According to an eyewitness from PEOPLE magazine, Mike held his arm around Hilary for most of the romantic, candlelit ceremony, and they both looked extremely happy.

Duff and Comrie had been dating for almost three years before the wedding. Of all places celebrities are spotted, the lovebirds met on a plane flying to Idaho. Ironically they were both staying at the same resort and they ended up spending an entire weekend together. Comrie proposed to his princess in February while the two were vacationing in Hawaii. This was a complete surprise to Duff as well as her entire family.
Reflecting back on the Lizzie McGuire days, Duff has really grown up and finally experienced her own, real life, Cinderella Story! Since Comrie is from Edmonton, all of you fellow Albertan readers can keep your eyes peeled for the new Mr. and Mrs.!
