Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald got married

That vampire from Twilight who looks like she has no business having blonde hair and the guy from American Idol who looks like Chris Kattan with a beard got married. These two crazy kids are 23 and 27 and have been dating a whole seven months. They met on a red carpet for the Red Riding Hood premiere on March 8 of this year. There’s video of them meeting all cute and everything, it’s at :52 here. Now these two are married, having made it official at a weekend ceremony in Malibu attended by 100 friends and family.

Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald said “I do” Sunday at a private ranch in Malibu, Calif. on Sunday in front of 100 guests, Reed’s rep confirms to Us Weekly exclusively.

“We couldn’t be happier!” the 23-year-old Twilight star and former American Idol season 10 contestant, 27, tell Us. “[We were] surrounded by our family and friends. We’re so glad this day has come!”

Reed and McDonald confirmed their engagement to Us in June after just two months of dating.

The couple first met at the premiere of Little Red Riding Hood in March. “You’re amazing,” she told him. “I’m blushing! I should go.”

McDonald clearly felt the same about his future wife. A month later, the singer moved in to Reed L.A. home. He admitted to Us that his instant connection with the actress was “weird,” especially since he wasn’t exactly a Twi-hard.

“I haven’t ever actually watched any of her movies. I don’t know too much of her career at all, but the person she is is super cool,” he said.

But even if he’s not first in line for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, McDonald feels like he landed the jackpot with Reed. “She’s amazing. She’s the perfect girl,” he gushed to MTV News. “We fit each other; when you know, you know, and she’s the one.”

I think they’re sincere about each other, and I wish them well and everything. They got married really fast though and I doubt they had much time to stop and question whether they were ready to spend the rest of their lives together. They seem sweet and only moderately fame-whorey, so maybe they’ll make it work. Or maybe their divorce will be a secondary story that we’ll all shrug at in ten months time.

    I give this two years.

  2. gee says:

    I could never really wrap my head around these two.

  3. normades says:

    She really has no business playing Rosalie. They really should have recast her role instead of Victoria’s.

  4. Green_Eyes says:

    A yr, 18 months tops.

  5. ShanKat says:

    What a random couple. They have a lot of teeth.

    I loved “Thirteen.”

  6. hanna says:

    He’s got that fake car salesman smile with bleached out teeth. I just don’t trust him. I’ll give it 7 months, then she’ll finally realize he’s just using her for fame. What a famewhore.

  7. brin says:

    Congrats.

  8. Holls says:

    So, so fast. That said, I hope they remain as happy as they are right now, for many years! I really like his singing and wish them the best.

  9. Sue says:

    I’m even less optimistic than Green Eyes.. 12 months at the most.

  10. Apple says:

    I think they will be as happy as Liza Minelli and Peter Allen.

    @normades

    She only got the Rosalie job because she and the director of the first film are good friends. No other director would have cast her as Rosalie. Seriously, it would be like casting Reese Witherspoon as Wonder Woman. A beautiful, talented actress, but could not possibly be more wrong for the part. In my opinion, there really are no roles in the Twilight saga that are right for Nikki. I still think that Rosalie should have gone to Olivia Wilde.

    I don’t know anything about McDonald as a person but in the 2nd photo he’s wearing an Avett Brothers tshirt – indie folk band made up of two brothers – their music is uniquely romantic in lyrics & talks a lot about love & family so I get the feeling he’s probably a romantic sap. Maybe it’ll work out

  13. birdie says:

    I get a VERY creepy vibe from him so I say this will end in a very messy divorce!

  14. Tripmom says:

    I think they both seem sweet and genuinely into each other. Neither is really famous enough to help out the other, so I don’t see this as being famewhorey. Good for them.

  15. Gemini says:

    Don’t know her and watched him on AI. He seemed genuine good guy type. Hoping the best for them.

  16. Victoria says:

    You biotches are so mean taking shots at when these lovebirds’ marriage will fail and having a nerve to aim so high at that. LOL. I give it six months, eight if they try to keep the break up under wraps to garner more press in an are the or aren’t they headline.

    But seriously these two are not cover material so they should just stick with each other and call it a day.

  17. Stacia says:

    Didn’t know who the hell these people were.

  18. normades says:

    @Katija: I think it should have been an Amanda Seigfried type. Rosalie is super blonde. Nicki just looks wrong in that wig.

    13 is one of my fave films btw, not dogging Nicki, but I think she has other talents she should persue besides acting.

  19. ladylala says:

    i find this all very cute somehow… hoping it lasts!

    She looks very pretty. I love her earrings in the last pic.
