Peet Takes Matrimonial Plunge

Sure she might be in one of the fall season's most lauded TV shows, but
Amanda Peet starred in a bigger production this weekend: her wedding.

The star of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and screenwriter David
Benioff tied the knot in their native New York on Saturday, two weeks
after announcing that they were expecting their first child together.

Peet, 34, and her 36-year-old beau swapped vows in a ceremony held at
the Friends Seminary, a Quaker school and the actress' alma mater.
Guests included Mark Ruffalo and Elizabeth Berkley with their
respective spouses.

"It was beautiful," Ruffalo told People of the nuptials.

The black-tie affair was followed by a reception at Chelsea Art Museum,
per Us Weekly.

Peet, whose r=E9sum=E9 also includes Syriana and The Whole Nine Yards,
and Benioff, who penned Troy and 25th Hour, met four years ago on a
blind date set up by a mutual friend. The couple announced their
intention to get hitched last July.

Pumpkin Escobar...

Announcement in July and marriage in October isn't exactly a shotgun
marriage.

And if there is no shotgun, I think the term just does not fit.

Obveeus...

So wait...now you people are saying that Peet didn't marry a shotgun?
That honeymoon would have had quite the kick.

GarondoMarondo...

She's preggers, they always call those a shotgun wedding.

Barry Margolin...

Who is "they"? The word "shotgun" never appears in the article you
posted, it's only in your subject line.

GarondoMarondo...

Yeah. The subject lines in my posted news articles are usually mine,
the originalls are often so very dull and lack pizazz!

They is just a geralization for society.

altec3220...

So society, in general, does not know what a shotgun wedding is? Sorry,
I do not accept that one.

GarondoMarondo...

The vast and powerful Internet backs me up:

or...

Its a figure of speech, stop being such pedants.

Garondo Marondo!

Pumpkin Escobar...

You obviously don't know what a shotgun wedding is, and no, you don't
have to be pregnant to have one.

Pumpkin Escobar...

Stop using untruthful hyperbole for attention and we'll get off your
back.

GarondoMarondo...

Since you snipped the links that vindicated my subjectline I will put
you down as a coward of the first order who's sole interest is causing
conflict through malicious conduct.

Good day to you, Senior Escobar.

Garondo Marondo!

wdstarr...

And a quite inaccurate one too.

GarondoMarondo...

No. No, it is not, Billy Frost.

And just like Peet's new NBC series, her impending matrimony had their
share of advance buzz. Peet spilled the beans on The Late Show with
David Letterman last Wednesday.

"I have been having recurring nightmares about, not the ceremony, but
the party," she said. "I go to the bathroom and I come back to the
party and everyone's gone. Except for some, everyone's dispersed?And
another one where the band just didn't show up so everyone got bored.

"And I was begging musicians that I know to just play.'Play something!'
"

Luckily for Peet's piece of mind, her reception, which per Us featured
the music of Dexter Lane Club, went off without a hitch.

Peet wore a strapless white dress with a black sash and carried a
bouquet of roses, according to Us and was "glowing," Ruffalo told the
magazine, even though she's four months' pregnant.

Which must have come as a relief to Peet, who fretted about her
burgeoning belly during her Late Show appearance.

"Aaron Sorkin is convinced I have a five-year-old in here or twins or
something," she said. "All they do is call me fatty and whenever I'm
not on set they're like, 'Check craft services--she's probably over
stuffing herself again.' "=20

It's the first marriage for both.
