Celebrity Wedding

Actress Drew Barrymore got engaged over the holidays to Will Kopelman. She now is the proud owner of a four-carat radiant cut diamond engagement ring by Graff.

This is the third marriage for Drew and I hope she doesn't change her name to Kopelman..lol. No wedding date has been set and the couple have been dating for about a year. Enjoy!
