“It hasn’t fully sunk in yet!”
Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie Share Their Wedding Photos With ‘OK!’ Magazine

This past Saturday evening popstar/actress Hilary Duff married her hockey playing fiancée Mike Comrie in a lavish wedding ceremony in Santa Barbara, CA and today we get our first look at the couple’s wedding photos on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of OK! magazine … behold:

Hilary Duff said “I do” to her hockey player love, Mike Comrie last weekend and only OK! was invited exclusively to share their big day. In this week’s issue, check out the photos — the dress! The cake! The flowers! — and interview with the bride herself as she talks all about her special day and her new husband. Plus, learn all about Hilary’s Vera Wang-designed dress. Surrounded by a canopy of flowers, Hilary tied the knot with Mike at sunset on Aug. 15, at a private 1920s estate in Santa Barbara, Calif. Hilary, 22, and Mike, 29, exchanged vows as the bride’s sister, maid of honor Haylie Duff, and 100 of the couple’s family members and closest friends watched. And only OK! was there for the former Lizzie McGuire and Gossip Girl star’s big day. “It feels wonderful [to be married],” Hilary exclusively tells OK!. “It hasn’t fully sunk in yet!”

There she is … the beautiful, blushing bride. I have to say, I’m so used to seeing Hilary as the very young Lizzie Maguire that she kinda looks like she is playing dress up in this Vera Wang wedding dress. But, it’s for real … she is a married woman now. After the jump, check out a couple more photos from Hilary and Mike‘s wedding as featured in the pages of OK! magazine …

Hila-rie say "I Do!" in SoCal
Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie Got Hitched!

Last Thursday we learned from In Touch Weekly magazine that popstar/actress Hilary Duff was planning to marry her hockey-playing fiancee Mike Comrie in Santa Barbara, CA on Saturday evening … it turns out that they were 100% correct as Hila-rie actually did marry in SB on Saturday night! It’s official, y’all … Hilary and Mike got hitched!

Mike Comrie and Hilary Duff are now officially husband and wife. The actress, 22, and Canadian hockey player, 29, were married Saturday during an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif. The couple exchanged vows at the Mediterranean Villa La Quinta around 8 p.m under an arch of flowers and in front of about 100 guests. “Mike held his arm around Hilary for most of the romantic, candlelit ceremony, and they both looked extremely happy,” says an eyewitness. The newlyweds spent their wedding night at the nearby historic San Ysidro Ranch … Comrie proposed during a Hawaiian getaway in February – a move that came as a pleasant surprise to both Duff and her family. “I’ve never met anyone who can say a bad word about him,” Duff gushed in March 2009. “He’s generous, caring and sunny. We just laugh our heads off.”

Yay!! This is fantastic news. It is CRAZY to me to think that little Lizzie Maguire is now a married woman but I am so happy that she has found the love of her life and is now happily hitched to him ;) After the jump, check out a couple of photos from Hilary and Mike’s wedding ceremony to get a taste of how the couple sealed the deal …

'In Touch Weekly' says yes
Are Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie Gettin’ Hitched This Weekend?

Rumor has it that the very enfianced Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie are planning to get hitched in Santa Barbara, CA this weekend … this, according to In Touch Weekly magazine. Now, these sorts of rumors oftentimes turn out to be false but there has been a lot of wedding chatter where Hila-rie are concerned and ITW really seems certain that the nuptials are going to take place this weekend in SB. Here are the deets as reported by In Touch:

In Touch can exclusively reveal that Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie are set to tie the knot this weekend at the beautiful San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. The couple, who got engaged in Hawaii in February, chose the ranch where the late President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, spent their honeymoon for “its sense of Old Hollywood glamour and romantic style,” an insider tells In Touch. Hilary, 22, has been getting ready for her big day by working out six days a week, as well as taking dance lessons with her fiancé, Mike, 29. The pro hockey player presented his love with a $1 million engagement ring, and a source close to Mike tells In Touch, “No detail is going to be spared for their big day.”

To be honest, based on all the talk going around, this report sounds about right. The couple have been doing things that have been hinting at the planning of a wedding and the time and location sound about right. Whether or not the couple get hitched this weekend in Santa Barbara, they are deffo putting together a wedding ceremony to take place sometime soon. I guess we’ll find out very soon if In Touch are right about this … I, for one, would love to see these two say their I Dos sooner (like this weekend) rather than later.

Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie Return To SoCal From Hawaii

First we learned the happy news that Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie got engaged, then we saw just how appreciative Hilary was to Mike for the lovely ring he gave her. Today we learn how much Comrie dropped on that ring for his new fiancée … and he dropped quite a lot of dough. Hilary and Mike have already made their way back to SoCal from their Hawaiian holiday (where the couple got engaged) and made a very public stop at Katsuya in Hollywood, CA for a coming out party of sorts. Hilary made sure to proudly show off the $1,000,000.00 ROCK that Mike gave her:

Hilary Duff’s NHL-playing fiancé, Mike Comrie, knows how to give good ice. A source close to the Edmonton Oilers center, 29, tells us that the engagement ring he gave the former Disney star, 22, cost—gulp—$1 million. The source tells us that Comrie bought the14-karat princess-cut sparkler in Las Vegas. After two years of dating, Comrie popped the question while he and Duff were on a recent vacation in Hawaii. A wedding isn’t the only thing these two have in the works. Our source also tells us the pair are close to buying a $10 million home in Beverly Hills. (While he probably takes home a nice paycheck from the Oilers, Comrie also happens to be an heir to Canadian home furnishings retail empire, The Brick.) A rep for Duff declined to comment. Comrie has proven himself to be a generous beau. Just a few months after they became a couple in 2007, he reportedly bought his ladylove a $100,000 Mercedes.

Yowza!! Yeah, we knew that Mike was very generous with Hilary and this phat ring is further proof of that generosity. I’ve always liked these two as a couple and I am thrilled for them. Tho, I’m actually very surprised how flashy Hilary was with her ring last night … considering she did everything she could to hide it when Hila-rie were departing Hawaii after their vacay. In any event … congrats to the happy couple!! Now the countdown begins to the day they say I Do.

Hilary tries to hide her ring, fails
Newly Engadged Hilary Duffy & Mike Comrie Leave Hawaii Together

Last Friday we learned that happy news that popstar/actress Hilary Duff and hockey player Mike Comrie got themselves engaged to be wed while they vacationed in Hawaii (and over the weekend we saw just how thankful Hil D. was to get her fat ring) and today we get to see photos of Hila-rie making their way home from their holiday:

Hilary was well aware of the paparazzi presence at the airport as the couple tried to leave so she did her best to try and hide the big, fat diamond she was wearing on her finger … apparently, Hilary was feeling more shy at the airport than she was on the balcony of the couple’s hotel. She did manage to inadvertently flash her ring tho — check out the size of her new engagement rock after the jump …

Hilary Duff Shows Fiancée Mike Comrie Her Appreciation

On Friday we learned the happy news that popstar/actress Hilary Duff and hockey playin’ hunk Mike Comrie got themselves engaged (Hilary‘s publicist has officially confirmed the engagement). The blog at Bauer-Griffin, apparently, managed to catch the exact moment when Mike proposed to Hilary while they were on vacay in Hawaii last week:

What followed next, after this sweet down-on-one-knee moment, was totally natural and extremely hilarious! After the jump, find out what Hil D. did for Mikey to show her extreme appreciation after he popped the question …

Hila-rie are tying the knot!
Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie Are Gettin’ Hitched!

Congratulations are in order for popstar/actress Hilary Duff and her hockey-playin’ beau Mike Comrie … according to new reports out today, the couple are engaged to be wed! After a couple years of dating, it appears that Hila-rie are finally ready to say I Do. They’re gettin’ hitched, y’all!!

Disney diva Hilary Duff has become the second hockey fiancée of the season, thanks to her engagement to Edmonton Oilers star Mike Comrie. A source close to the 22-year-old actress confirms to E! News that she got engaged to her boyfriend of more than two years while vacationing in Maui this week. Duff’s mom seemingly laughed off reports of her daughter’s engagement this week (just like the couple themselves did a year and a half ago), but we’re guessing that was before she caught a load of pictures seemingly catching the 29-year-old Comrie at his very moment of question popping. There’s no word yet on a wedding date for the happy couple. Congrats, you two!

Yes, much congrats to the happy couple!! It’s funny … I remember when Hilary Duff and Joel Madden were my fave Hollywood couple and now, here we are all these years later, and they’re both engaged to other people … it’s funny the way life works itself out. I hope you’ll join me in sending the warmest wishes and our heartiest congrats to Hilary and Mike! Congrats!!

Estimates say more than 45k people participated, raised $5.6 million
Celebs Come Out In Support Of AIDS Walk New York

Last Friday we saw pics of Hilary Duff switching on the lights at the Empire State Building in NYC in honor of the 24th Annual AIDS Walk New York that was scheduled for this weekend in the Big Apple. Today we learn that Hilary, her boyfriend Mike Comrie, actor Michael Urie and personality Carson Kressley were joined by over 450,000 people who trekked thru NYC to help raise 5.6 million for AIDS charities. Here are a few pics from yesterday’s AIDS Walk and some deets about the event itself:

The 24th AIDS Walk New York, the annual walkathon that raises money for local AIDS service organizations, took place in Manhattan on Sunday. Organizers estimate that more than 45,000 people attended, raising as much as $5.6 million. Many participants walked in honor of people who they had lost to HIV/AIDS: a brother, a sister, a friend. Monique Parker came to pay tribute to her brother Anthony who passed away in 2005 at age 45. She explained that it had become a tradition for her to attend the event. A number of family members and friends had joined her in her homage to Anthony. Minerva Velasquez came in memory of her sister Myriam who died of AIDS back in 1994, leaving two sons behind her. “It’s a celebration for me. We honor the good times spent together, especially the fun moments,” Velasquez said. “My sister was truly a very funny woman and I want her to be remembered that way. She never lost her humor until the very end.” Since its inception in 1986, the funds raised by AIDS Walk New York have benefited Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC) – a not-for-profit, volunteer-supported and community-based organization that has been a leader in the fight against AIDS – and dozens of other tri-state HIV/AIDS service organizations. AIDS Walks allow service organizations to be accessible to anyone who is HIV positive, even people with little or no financial means, which helps local communities prevent the spread of the disease. Participants met at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday and braved the drizzle and wind in Central Park, right by the Sheep Meadow (south of 72nd Street) where the walk started. The opening ceremony featured actress and singer Hilary Duff, Carson Kressley (“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”) and Brooke Smith (“Grey’s Anotomy”). In addition, the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus – who greeted attendees with a “Welcome ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between” – were there to interpret popular songs such as the famous “Dancing Queen” by the band ABBA, which did not fail to cheer up the crowd before the beginning of the 6.2-mile walk. Participants started walking through Central Park at 10 a.m. all the way up to 110th street – Cathedral Parkway – and down Riverside Drive before finishing up back in the park on 72nd street. Volunteers were cheering walkers and giving out free refreshments and snacks all along the way. The crowd was very diverse: young, old, gay, straight, black, Caucasian, Latino and the general atmosphere was very friendly.

Because of the struggling economy, estimates on funds raised by this year’s AIDS Walk New York were set very low … the $5.6 million was a number that far exceeded what organizers were hoping for. Said Dr. Marjorie Hill, CEO of Gay Men’s Health Crisis: “Today’s powerful results show that tough times, indeed, will not break our stride.” Congrats, kudos and much thanks goes out to those folks who participated in yesterday’s AIDS Walk. Until a cure can be found, we must not slow our resolve to help raise funds and awareness to battle this deadly disease. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it … much love and respect goes out to the celebs who use their fame for great causes like this. It says a lot that folks would take time out of their bizzy schedules to participate in important events such as this. Please keep up the great work!!

PDA Alert
Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie Vacay In The Bahamas

Here are a few very cute, very sweet photos of lovebirds Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie. The popstar/actress and meaty hockey player made their way down to enjoy the tropically warm Bahaman islands this weekend and were spied doing a whole lotta canoodling and cooing with one another … can’t you feel the lurve?

You will note in the third pic, Hilary plants a tender kiss on Mike‘s hunky chest as they waited for their car to be brought around by the valet. Altogether now, AWWWWWWWWWWWW! They do make a very sweet couple together … it’s so nice to see that they’ve managed to keep things together, without any hint of incident, over the past couple of years. I had my doubts that Hila-rie would stay together for the long haul … but here they are, continuing to long haul ;) It’s not totally clear how long these two will be on vacay together but I hope they’re able to enjoy themselves down there for a while longer. They look happy and so in lurve. Do it up, Hila-rie! Enjoy!!
