MY FAVE CELEB COUPLE IS GETTING MARRIED!

So, for those of you who don't know--Caleb Followill, the lead singer for Kings of Leon, is my ideal man,at least in terms of looks, artistic ability, and mild southern twang (he IS from Tennessee, after all).

Unfortunately for me, though, Caleb was off the market long ago, dating an up-and-coming model named Lily Aldridge.

I didn't even realize who Lily Aldridge was until I stumbled across a random photograph from her early days of modeling (below). It was from a spread in Elle Girl magazine, circa 2004-ish. In this particular spread (which wound up being quite controversial), Lily was sporting undergarments as outerwear--slips, corsets, etc. Her hair and makeup was similar to that of a 1920s silent film star after the star sticks her finger in a light socket. I was so struck by this particular spread that my little 13-year-old self decided it would be a good idea to try teasing my hair and wearing a slip as a dress. But I digress.

So it turned out that my dream man was dating a model I had aspired to look like for many years now. I jealous that I didn't look like Lily, but after reading a couple of interviews with her, I saw that even though she was the newest Victoria's Secret Angel, she was extremely down to earth. I felt better that my rock-and-roll frontman wasn't dating some socialite wannabe.

As I lightly stalked the couple via internet, I fell more and more in love with them as a pair. They seemed right together--and if there's one thing I love, it's a good romance. So today, when I randomly decided to Wikipedia Lily Aldridge, I found out that she and Caleb are ENGAGED!!!

That's right, folks! As of yesterday, Caleb Followill is off the market!

I'm thrilled for them. Obviously, I would love to have Caleb Followill for myself, but since he happened to fall in love and get engaged to someone, I'm glad it's someone as cool as Lily Aldridge.

Congratulations you two!

Keep it classy and fabulous!
xoxo, Laura
