Patti Stanger meets her own match!

Patti Stanger, aka the “Millionaire Matchmaker,” is getting hitched! The straight-talking, reality star is engaged to beau Andy Friedman .

“I feel like it should have happened years ago, so I’m kind of shocked,” she told US Weekly magazine. Stanger, 48, said that Friedman, a 51-year-old real estate executive whom she met through a matchmaker five-and-a-half years ago, popped the question in Maui, Hawaii, on her May 31 birthday.

A black swan named Raymond delivered the 4-carat ring. “I have a rule, if you go out a year and he doesn’t propose, it goes up a carat a year,” she said. The Left Coast-based couple, who don’t live together, are planning for 2010 nuptials.

Ivanka Trump announces engagement on Twitter

It’s official: Ivanka Trump is off the market!

The 27-year-old real estate heiress announced her engagement to New York Observer owner Jared Kushner, 28, on Twitter Thursday.

“I got engaged last night ... truly the happiest day of my life!!!” Trump tweeted.

A rep for Kushner confirmed to Gawker that the Twitter post was real.

The couple, who are both the offspring of wealthy real estate families, have been dating for two years, but split briefly early last year, reportedly because of Ivanka not being Jewish.

But it seems the heiress is appeasing the Orthodox Kushners, and since the July 2008 reconciliation, has been reportedly studying to convert to Judaism under Rabbi Haskel Lookstein at Kehilath Jeshurun Synagogue on the upper East Side.

While rumors circulated that Donald Trump was not happy about his daughter’s choice due to Jared’s dad Charles Kushner’s 2005 stint in jail for violations of tax and campaign-finance laws, Trump tells Us Magazine, "I'm very happy about it. They make a magnificent couple."

And it seems Ivanka thinks they’re perfect together as well.

"Jared and I are very similar in that we're very ambitious. That's what makes it so amazing to be in a relationship with someone who is supportive of that," Trump told New York Magazine. "I'm happy for him when he is in the office working late. I know how good that feels when you sit down and return e-mails."

Hopefully they will take some time to turn off their BlackBerries and plan what will surely be an out-of-this-world wedding! (Source)

Celebrity Wedding News: Details of David Letterman's Surprise Wedding Revealed

The bride wore a navy blue suit and a peach-colored rose corsage. The groom was dressed neatly, despite the fact that his truck had gotten stuck in the mud on the way to the ceremony. When David Letterman and his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko, got married in Choteau, Mont., last Thursday, the simple ceremony came as a shock to onlookers.

"Seeing David was a surprise," says Lisa Sinton, Clerk of District Court in Teton County, who had met the famed talk show host several times before the nuptials. "They used a friend to call in to get the information about what they needed to do [to get married at the courthouse], so I really had no idea it was going to be David."

Letterman, 61, and Lasko, 48, quietly arrived – with their 5-year-old son Harry in tow – at the three-story Teton County Courthouse, which stands in the middle of Main Ave. in Choteau. There in the 103-year-old building, built of sandstone quarried from nearby Rattlesnake Butte and surrounded by fir trees, the couple filled out the license application.

Low-Key Nuptials

After Sinton issued the license, the pair – who live in a ranch on the outskirts of town – went upstairs to Justice of the Peace Pete Howard, who officiated the wedding. Letterman and Lasko selected their friends, Genevieve and Lee Barhaugh, to stand with them through the ceremony.

On Monday's Late Show, Letterman joked about his reluctance to marry. "I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years," he said. But last week, the couple finally decided to walk the aisle.

"People say, 'Geez, Dave, you were together so long. Does it feel any different?'" Letterman said on the show. "And I say, 'Yeah. It does.' {Source: People}

Celebrity Wedding News: Mandy Moore + Ryan Adams

Forget the trappings of show business. All Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams needed for the perfect wedding were a tiny old brick church, a pastor they just met, a pair of silver bands and each other.

"She was thrilled to be getting married. She was giddy but not in a childish way. She was obviously so happy," Pastor Steve Schulte, who married the couple this week at Whitefield Chapel at Bethesda Home for Boys on the outskirts of Savannah, Ga., tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The couple, who just got engaged last month, arranged for a last-minute ceremony, with one of their reps calling Schulte just the day before, saying a judge wasn't available and asking if the pastor could officiate. "I thought it was either somebody famous or somebody really bad," says Schulte, who agreed to the job, bringing along only a friend, wedding planner Chad Baker – and that was because they had another wedding event later in the day.

Casual Dress
A little after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, a black town car pulled up to the church on the breathtakingly beautiful grounds with blooming azaleas, dogwood trees, giant old live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Out stepped Moore and Adams and two other men.

The couple dressed down: Moore, 24, wore a cream-colored, lacy tea-length dress and flat sandals, and Adams, 34, had on tight skinny jeans, a T-shirt with sport coat and sneakers. Schulte greeted them, and even when he heard their names, he didn't know who they were.

Only Moore, Adams and Schulte went inside the brick chapel with stained-glass windows and about a dozen wooden pews and a center aisle. (Baker stayed out in Schulte's car.)

In the eight-minute ceremony, the couple held hands and faced each other as they exchanged silver rings purchased from a local jeweler. Tears welled in Moore's eyes and her voice quivered as she took Adams to be her husband.

The Couple Kiss
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," Schulte said, and the couple kissed. After the pastor congratulated them, he shook Adams's hand and hugged Moore.

As the couple walked out of the church, Adams turned and took Moore's face in both of his hands and gave her another kiss. They then walked to a little footbridge near the chapel where they hugged and kissed.

"It was so romantic. It was awesome," says Baker. "I just can't stress how happy they seemed."
