Tom Cruise proposes to Katie Holmes in Paris

[Champ]

PARIS - Tom Cruise popped the question to Katie Holmes at the Eiffel Tower early Friday and then announced the news to the world - they're getting married.

Cruise turned to Holmes: "What did you say, darling? She said, 'Yes.' ... I've never actually been to the Eiffel Tower and I just, it's Paris, you know. It's beautiful, a beautiful city. It's very romantic. I'm excited to be here."

No wedding date has been set, Cruise said. "We haven't discussed that - one step at a time."

The couple, who went public with their romance in April, often shared smiles and blushes as Cruise turned to look at Holmes, who was seated nearby. The 26-year-old actress, who was wearing a massive diamond ring on her finger, didn't speak to reporters.

"Today is a magnificent day for me, I'm engaged to a magnificent woman," the 42-year-old Cruise said.

1. Advice to Cruise

If you ever want the publicity hounds to stop just keep tagging an anti-Bush statement on to everything.
Something like:
"Will you marry me, and by the way, Bush lied, People Die."

4. I've heard of couples married 10-20 years

getting engaged 1-2 weeks after getting to know each other.

5. I am going on 6 years

My husband proposed to me two days after we started going out... whirlwind courtship! It was nice.... Although, Katie and Tom are more high profile than I am...so we will see how that works

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

6. Did you know each other before those two days?

:wow:

[BroadwayBrat]

12. I met him before....

He was my ex-boyfriend's (of three years) best friend... So I knew him a little less than a year...

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. ah

Two days just seems like an incredibly short amount of time to get to know somebody

9. My husband proposed to me after three weeks.

Of course, we're not famous actors, idiots, or publicity-hounds.

15. Love at first sight may sound trite....but it's true, you know.

So says the great prophet Morrissey. :silly:

Alright, so in this case it was six weeks.

7. 6 weeks in 'Hollywood time' is equivelant to about 2 years in 'real time'

And you can expect the end to the marriage to be equally accelerated
