Fans squealed with excitement when lovable, Sloth-obsessed actress Kristen Bell got engaged. (Or, uh, I did at least.) But that was in January 2010, and fans have been wondering why the two haven’t tied the knot yet. But now they’ve revealed a very Brad-and-Angelina-type answer!
In a recent interview with Larry King, Bell explained that she’s not going to have a wedding ceremony until gay marriage is legal in California, where she lives. She stated:
I’ll feel more comfortable having a party — or whatever we have, if anything — if half of our friends who are homosexuals [can celebrate]. It’s just kind of rude to invite everyone to a party for a rite not everyone can hold.”
But the two aren’t waiting for wedding bells to have kids. Both stars were excited about the idea of children, and Bell explained that they were fine with having them “out of wedlock.” [via US Weekly]
I’m personally thrilled that they’re still going to have kids, because if Kristen Bell and a sloth is cute, I can’t imagine how darling Kristen Bell and a baby would be!
What do you think of Bell’s wedding decision?

Good for her.

Oh my GOD! I am incredibly thankful. I would never ask this of a couple but when they make a commitment to equality on their own I can’t seem to find words to express my feelings of gratitude.

I thought gay marriage was already legal in California. Don’t Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi live in CA? Same with Neil Patrick Harris and Elton John. They’re married with husbands of their own, and I always thought they lived in CA.

@AngelAsh_86@xanga - It was legal for a short period in 2008, but Prop 8 overturned it. Ultimately, it was established that anyone who got married between the time it was legal and before Prop 8 was established are still deemed legally and validly married.
