Scarlett Johansson

Alright, now I know that Scarlett’s marriage happened September of last year, but I want to recall those days when the media was in a frenzy to find out what happened because our tight-lipped actress wasn’t speaking up.

The couple started dating during February of last year, and announced their engagement on May 2008. But they didn’t tell anyone about their wedding plans, so imagine everyone’s surprise when they finally announced that they were already married.

Scarlett wanted a ceremony with just family and a few select friends. She wasn’t going to let anything (read, the paparazzi) interfere with her wedding day.

“They worked hard to keep things private,” a source close to the 24-year old actress told People.

According to People, Scarlett and Ryan avoided the all-seeing eyes of the paparazzi by sending text message invitations to 40 guests and then staging the ceremony at the “rugged, but luxurious” Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, which is on a nature reserve in British Columbia, Canada on Saturday, September 27. Guests reached the venue by sea plane or a 30-minute boat ride.

When asked about why she was so silent about her wedding, ScarJo told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: “It was my mission to have a moment of privacy, to do something for myself. I was happy with the results of that.”

Scarlett didn’t even disclose the designer of her wedding dress.
Guests included her mother, Melanie Sloan, and her brother, Adrian Johansson, according to People magazine, which cited her spokeswoman. The spokeswoman declined further comment beyond a confirmation of the marriage.

Ryan’s representative Maureen O’Sullivan, also confirmed that the marriage took place, but said no further details would be provided.

Ryan was previously dating fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette, while Johansson was linked to Josh Hartnett and Jared Leto. It’s a first marriage for both of them.

Where are the paparazzi when you need them?

Until now, there’s no photographic evidence of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett together. And for a while now I have this strangest feeling the gossip rags are fooling the public’s head, concocting some tell-tale stories for the suckers out there. How ever you read the “news,” straight or oblique, there seems to be fire raging between the two lovers. Seems to be… Well then, think again.

The dating story is murky somehow.

According to the printed version of The National Enquirer June 4 issue, Ryan is reportedly leaving some of his stuff at Scarlett’s Hollywood condominium, culled via Celebitchy. For convenience’s sake, the actress allows the Canadian actor to leave some of his stuff at her place in case of emergency.

Oh no, trust me this didn’t come from the horse’s mouth but a certain group of people who purported to be the actress’ pals. So these “We-are-Scarlett’s pals” told the gossip rag that Scarlett okayed the move as Ryan spends most of his time at the actress’ condo anyway. I guess it would be easier for the two lovers to see and cuddle each other, right?

“Scarlett finally told Ryan to move some of his personal belongings into her condo. He pretty much stays over every night now anyway, so she wanted him to feel like it’s his place, too.”

Nothing came after the revelation but a review of the dating locations of the two actors. So enterprising photographers, move your butts and give us evidence!

And if this is indeed happening, why not coin a new word for them? RyScar? ScarRy, perhaps???
