A surprise summer wedding

Another one of my favourite celebrity/athlete mash-ups is Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie.




Mike Comrie is an Edmonton native who currently plays for his hometown team the Edmonton Oilers. His nickname is "The Brick," after the furniture chain founded by his father and uncles.

The two met in July 2007 and became engaged in February 2010. Comrie and Duff, who are 29 and 22 respectively, have recently purchased a $3.85 million Hollywood home and were set to marry in October of this year. Reports coming out today, however, say that the wedding has been moved to August 14, one week from today.

I thought it was a bit strange for them to plan a wedding for October, right as hockey season is getting started. Was the announced October date a red herring to keep the press away, or are other factors at work in the hurried nuptials? Only time will tell....




[On another note, I will be lounging by a lake far far away from an internet connection for the next little while, so postings will be sporadic at best.]
