'09

It was supposed to be the wedding of the year, and now Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams have let us all horribly down. Wait, no. Actually, I thought this would be one of those engagements that got called off. Why? Because Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams just seem horribly mismatched to me. She has a generally sunny disposition – though she’s got substance too, and is certainly not an airhead. He is legendary for his… how do I put this nicely… “artistic temperament.” And yesterday, the two quietly got married in Savannah.
Mandy Moore and rocker Ryan Adams have wed, reps for both stars confirm to Usmagazine.com. They tied the knot Tuesday in Savannah, Georgia, adds the reps. The secret wedding should come as no surprise.
After confirming her engagement to Adams in February, Moore said she wanted the wedding to be “less … of a big deal… Hopefully, it can happen and slip by unnoticed by everybody,” said the singer, 24, who has dated Adams, 34, off-and-on since March 2008. “I guess we have to be sort of sneaky about it, but I’ll see what I can accomplish.”
She added that she has never been “that kind of girl” who obsesses over her wedding day and added that she hadn’t even thought about a dress.
“I kind of feel like, because I’ve been able to get married in a few films, I kind of got the whole giant wedding fuss out of my system,” Moore said.
In April’s Marie Claire, Moore calls Adams “a good egg. I’m in awe of him — his brain, his passion. He’s truly one of a kind.”

I heard about a small concert years ago where Ryan Adams stormed off the stage when someone made a joke about Bryan Adams. After a string of curses. He’s intense. Incredibly gifted too (“La Cienega Just Smiled” is one of my top 5 songs of all time), but doesn’t seem the type to have ever been interested in Mandy Moore in the first place, let alone want to marry her. They both strike me as very smart and cool, just not necessarily well-matched.
I don’t ever want to respond to news of a marriage with divorce predictions… but it does seem that this relationship moved very fast. I cautiously wish them both the best though.
