Hilary Duff gets hitched to hockey starThe summer of celebrity weekend weddings continues with Hilary Duff, who is the latest star to exchange "I dos." The "Cinderella Story" actress wed Canadian hockey star fiance Mike Comrie over the weekend. Duff, 22, and Comrie, 29, exchanged vows Saturday before 100 of their family members and friends in an intimate ceremony at a $29 million estate near the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, reports Us Weekly. The bride wore a strapless Vera Wang with her hair in a bun, and walked down an aisle strewn with rose petals and candles. Duff's big sister Haylie, 25, was maid of honor.
The couple met on a 2007 trip to an Idaho resort and got engaged during a Hawaiian vacation last February. Saying yes to the 14-carat, radiant-cut sparkler was a no-brainer, Duff said. "He's generous, caring, funny," she explained. "We just laugh our heads off, which I need in my life ... He's unique. I wouldn't want to be with someone who wasn't unique." |

I did not know her boyfriend was a Hockey player. I love her music.
I'm not a fan, but I do give props to Hilary Duff. Look at Lindsay Lohan compared to her. At least she can still be a teen icon unlike the drunken mess. She has been successful in her career and love life. Go Hilary!
Here's some advice: Mike, were not saying it's going to last forever. In fact it probably won't last 3-4 years. Her career will sour. She'll pop a few kids out. Things will start to sag a little. It's not like your career will go anywhere either. A little bit short and undersized. Enjoy while you can.
Take a good look at the mother, short and squatty and tempermental. The fruit often turns into the tree.
I second Rainier Wolfcastles' comment.
True, she has stayed out of trouble, but the whole goody two shoes bit is really sickening with her. The true talent is her sister, but she turned out to be cuter and got the part. Hillary will be fine. She is one of those who have that charmed life. Her husband must know how to deal with her short, fat, diva of a mother. No wonder her father cheated all those years on her. And yes, we know her mother firsthand.
I mean really,,, I know they (she) can afford it.. but a 14 carat ring ??? Who really needs something that huge and gaudy on their hand ????
MIke Comrie gave Hillary Duff a 14 carat engagement ring because it is a combined set. To commemorate their first anniversary he gave her a top of the line Mercedes.
No matter what you think or do or say, life ends in dust and disarray.
At the end of the day Hilary and Mike don't care what anyone on this Post has to say. They're happy, successful and in love. All the best to them in the future. The negative posters here are only jealous because Hilary and Mike get employee pricing at the Brick.
I'm happy for her. She was a delightful teen actress. She's the only brilliantly positive role-model who hasn't crashed and burned, as Linsey Lohan and Melssa Gilbert have.
@ Doug Miles – Um, when was Melissa Gilbert ever trying to be a role model? She played a gruff, screw-up of a daughter on tv. Also, did she crash and burn by coming out as a lesbian? Not everyone would agree with that.
Those of you who think he's on the Edmonton Oilers, think again.
Comrie is an unrestricted free agent and has no contract yet for the 2010-11 season.
LOL to the guy who said Mike Comrie looks like Levi Johnston.
Mike Comrie = Johnny Knoxville + 100 lbs!
Wonder if we get to see photos like the proposal ones.
Unbelievable comments!
No wonder our world is increasingly violent and chaotic.
You guys cannot even be decent with the small, ordinary things in life.
How about tougher more difficult ones????
WISH THEM THE BEST!!
You insecure, jealous, petty, morons.
How people reveal themselves when they open their mouths!
I couldn't have said it better myself! Honestly, people have to be so ugly and negative anymore just to feel better about their own... whatever...is going on. Basic human decency and kindness is going down the toilet fast. What you sow is what you will reap. How sad. Congrats and all the best to the newlyweds! I'm sure the wedding was lovely.
He's a legitimate 3rd line player. He'll spend the rest of his career floating from team to team.
22 is too young to get married. Duff sets a terrible example for young girls. Their careers will not even allow them to spend time together so what's the point? Unless it is a sham marriage for publicity purposes.
Really 22 is too young, I got married at 18 and we just celebrated our 18th anniversary this july. It is not so much a person's age, as maturity level that matters. I know plenty of 40 yr olds that shouldnt get married because they act like a 5 yr old, but plenty of 18 to 20 yr olds that have a great head on their shoulders and are more than ready for it. She is a good person, and role model, a heck of alot better than most celebrities are and I wish her all the happiness that I can.
she is too young 22 year old...this will last a year or so....
Hey idiot....I got married at 23 and I am still married 10 years later. For the record, it is the norm in a lot of other countries to be married by 22. I guess stupid Americans like you can't handle marriage that young because it takes you so damn long to grow the helll up. What a tool!!
Really? And you think you're who, now, to put an age limit on marriage?? Hate to tell ya, but people have been getting married at a relatively young age for ... well, ages, and actually have made it longer, happier, than those who get married in their 40's. I've been married since I was 19, and still couldn't be happier and still feel as much in love with my hubby as I did on day 1! Seriously, if you even knew what marriage was, you wouldn't be spouting your hate poison about being "too young" to be married. If 22 was too young, they wouldn't allow 18 year olds to marry, or 16 year olds with parental consent!
OUCH – Meg has a point! The last couple of generations of Americans are far too selfish, and stupid, and immature. Look at the divorce rate.
I married a few weeks before I turned 25. This coming May makes 24 years.
People don't take marriage seriously in this country.
It's "Forsaking all others, til death do us part... For better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sicknedd and in health"
Today, people seem to think it's "Til something better comes along, til I'm sick of your face, til I find somebody who'll let me get my freak on, constantly...etc, etc"
Really sad.
Hey Yupps, you got married at 19, but how long have you been married? 2 months?
Statistically, half of all marriages in America end in divorce...and many of these are people who have gotten married younger than 25. I'd say 22 is a fair age to get married, not really that young. But I know plenty of girls around here who married right out of high school...now they're single moms!
100 guests is "intimate?"
I've always thought she was hot, I'd give her the best 8 seconds of her life. Just sayin...
Lucky guy!!
wow im feeling the hate.. anyway!.. Congrats to the lovely couple
She doesn't look happy in the picture. Her career is sour and she'll probably pop out some kids soon. Once his hockey stint is over in the amatuer league they'll be a quick and quiete divorce.
Oh yeah i would crush that too !
They look like a cute couple! They compliment each other nicely..
Oh all the haters.....I don't believe it matters who he is or what he does. He plays for a hockey team. He makes money and makes her happy. And really isn 't that what life is about? Everybody deserves happiness. I think he seems like a nice guy and will treat her good. She seems well adjusted for being in Hollywood. Unlike all the other young women who seem clueless. I wish them the best and long love.
Why are people so mean?????
It's a jealousy thing, CJ.
Hope they made their immigration plans, or she can't live here without being APPROVED, just like the rest of us!
Oh I could have figured it was Sean Avery, given how he has been scoring goals around Hollywood.
I'll give it 4 years tops....and I hope a hockey puck doesn't knockout her veneers.
the rich get richer as the poor get poorer.
abre los ojos.
WE SLEEP,
THEY LIVE
no fate.
Calling either one of these two a "star" is a joke. Mike Comrie can't skate to save his life! He'd have a better chance at stardom singing for her while she outs the skates on. Please do some research ( and as a personal favour, don't call him Canadian)
Comrie is an NHL player – he CAN skate. And he is Canadian as he was born and raised in Edmonton.
I can't believe all you ignorant, rude people!! "who cares?" – well, then why are YOU reading the article?? "he's not a hockey star" – he is a well known NHL player, most of them are "stars" and it looks better in print than "professional hockey player". Get a life people, if you don't like them, don't read the freaking articles!! You knew what it was before you clicked on the link. To go through all the trouble of posting a comment after reading it just shows what a loser YOU are!! And for HALIFX – as already stated, Mike Comrie is Canadian, born & raised Canadian and plays for a Canadian team. What is your problem with that?? You sound a tad jealous, all of you. Get over it, be happy for them, or keep your mouth shut. There is absolutely no reason for negative posts on such a lighthearted article.
WHO FN'GIVES AN F'? Nobody gives a crap about celebrity relationships, and if you do... you need to get a life.
Why must people like you click on these articles to state that you "don't care" about this and wonder who cares about it? You tell other people to get a life yet you comment here trying to validate your position on the issue... no one needs to know you don't care, because sometimes if you try to tell us you don't care you're just in denial.
That guy must have lots of money because he looks semi-retarded.
I have met Mike and he is not retarded and he is a really nice guy.I can not say the same for you.
The Duffer's getting pucked!
are you sure that is not jim carrie?
I think she is too young, she should have waited a few more years, but congratulation I guess. look gorgeous
According to various Canadian reports, he is the heir to the "Brick Furniture" Conglomerate, aka major $$. The engagement ring cost him approx. $4million (US). She enjoys her sugar daddy, while he goes plays hockey for a living.
I highly doubt Hilary Duff needs a sugar daddy...
That is an obscene amount of money for a ring. nobody needs that big of a diamond. utterly ridiculous. such a waste of money i don't care how much you have. wouldn't a million dollars have been enough?
Debbie wouldn't say that if it was given to her. Pithy, pithy, pithy.
lol he's not even missing any teeth!! looks more like a benchwarmer than a "star"
JP – you must not be a hockey fan. Players who lose teeth these days often have them replaced shortly after they're knocked out. SOme think the gap toothed grin is a badge of honor. Whatever; they are the most intelligent athletes, and often have the least controversy, if any. She made a good choice.
He may not be a franchise player but he's a star in her eyes... Truth in journalism has long been in question what with the label "expert" describing almost anyone granting an interview. He should be called a professional hockey player but cut them a break. She can talk to her friends about her husband the hockey star..
They both look like future meth heads..
She's one of the few celebrities who have stayed out of trouble/controversy. Maybe you should look in the mirror before you make such absurd comments.
ok...you take the award of most ignorant comment.
Hockey boy looks like Levi Johnston.
funny! lol
How do you know what a meth head look like ?Talking from experience huh !!!! sounds like jealousy to me
Star? Mike Comrie a Star? He's not even signed to an NHL team! Has anyone seen him play. Back to back years he has been a member of two separate last place teams, and you are calling him a "STAR." Please do some research before posting such an egregious headline.
Whatever. He's a bigger star than you will ever be so that's enough I guess.
The guy has scored 30+ goals in two NHL seasons and 20+ in three other seasons. And the guy is still not even 30 years old yet. Maybe not a "star" but a decent enough player for you all to lay off a bit.
The fact that the last few teams he has played for have not done well is not his fault.Also he was quite sick last season and when he was healthy he had a great year.He may not be a star but as for everything else maybe you should get your facts staight!
Yes he is. He's with the Edmonton Oilers. Duh. Shows what you know.
Danny = biggest fail
Mike Comrie, a hockey star? LOL!
I found the hockey star part rather amusing..... Mike Comrie's lucky to be a hockey PLAYER.... far from a star!
Ha! Calling Mike Comrie a hockey star is like calling Hillary Duff an actress
it doesn't matter how big a hockey star he is, his dad is a billionaire.
