Actors Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds married in Canada this weekend, finalizing a year-and-a-half relationship built on love, mutual respect, and the possession of two of Hollywood's best chests. Many in Hollywood were saddened when news of the union broke, including Kanye West (who once named Johansson his "favorite white girl"), Barack Obama (who had run for president specifically to thwart the impending nuptials), and frequent Johansson collaborator Woody Allen, who promptly ordered his casting assistants to place an exploratory call to Jessica Biel. Said Us Weekly about the intimate affair:

Sorry boys, It appears as if Scarlett Johansson really is taken. As we noted yesterday, 2006's Sexiest Woman Alive got engaged to equally easy-on-the-eyes boyfriend Ryan Reynolds, and judging from ScarJo's behavior last night at the Costume Institute Gala, the soon-to-be-bride appears incapable of hiding her joy. All smiles as she walked the carpet, Johansson even did the paparazzi a favor by flashing her new rock, and her choice to wear an off-white demure dress helped us paint some mental images of her upcoming walk down the aisle. But how does her ring compare to infamous engagement rings of the past (J. Lo's sad pink diamond monster mid-Bennifer trainwreck) and rings recently sported by newly engaged stars like Mariah Carey and Ashlee Simpson? We compare and contrast after the jump.

Scarlett Johansson, daughter of Danish-born architect Karsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan, a producer from the Bronx of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, has accepted Ryan Reynolds's hand in marriage. The groom-to-be hails from Vancouver, Canada, the son of Tammy Reynolds, a salesperson and career student, and Jim Reynolds, a food wholesaler and former semi-professional boxer.
