Longtime Hollywood couple, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard finally tied the knot.
According to UsWeekly, the newlyweds reportedly made a casual trip to the Beverly Hills County Clerk’s Office on Thursday, October 17 to obtain their marriage license, but upon learning that a court employee could officiate a quick ceremony, they decided to get married right then and there. Eyewitnesses said that Kristen cried during the ceremony.
Bell, 33, and Shepard, 38, who have seven-month-old daughter Lincoln together, announced their engagement back in January 2010 but they decided to wait until same-love marriage was legal in California. “We’ve been very vocal about not wanting to be married in a state that doesn’t allow that right to all of its citizens,” Bell told Celebuzz in 2012. “We’ll wait until California gets on the right side of history.”
Dax proposed to Kristen back in June after the U.S. Supreme Court decided to legally recognize gay marriages.
What a refreshing change from typical celebrity behavior … just wishing to keep a marriage private and low key … and personal.
Dax has overcome a lot by successfully getting his addiction under control … and has since proven to be a loyal supportive and caring partner (and now husband) and father .
Congratulations to them both, they seem like genuinely decent and honorable people deserving happiness.
