Emily Blunt and John KrasinskiWhen Emily Blunt and John Krasinski announced their engagement in the summer of 2009, it was a blow to "normal girls" everywhere. Krasinski's no George Clooney (though he has been on the typically Clooney-dominated "Sexiest Men Alive" list before) but his awkward good looks and witty charm have made him a favorite of the "Mad Men" and coffee shop set. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski got engaged on the "last day of summer" in 2009, a cute detail and one worth tucking away for the triviaphile in your life. Emily Blunt is an English-born actress who has appeared in movies like 2006' The Devil Wears Prada and even contributed a voice to the most recent season of The Simpsons. Believe it or not, she's incredibly hot (who knew a hot Hollywood actor could date beautiful women?) and critics generally respond well to her performances. Though Krasinski is the better known actor of the couple, both stars have seen success only recently -- Blunt's first film and TV roles came in 2003, while Krasinski's first film part (an uncredited role in David Mamet's State and Main) came out just a decade ago in the year 2000. Buzz about the hot couple's wedding built up in late spring 2010 -- rumors were flying about the date and details of the wedding. So much hype about a wedding involving two people who were virtually unknown just five years ago would be unusual except for the fanatic following that Krasinski commands. The entire E! network seemed to tackle the Krasinsky-Blunt wedding as if it were an election, going so far as to speculate what designer's dress Blunt would wear ("She looked at Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang.") and who would cater the event. All of the rumors and chatter about their wedding makes you wonder -- just how successful does a celeb need to be these days to get their wedding covered from all angles? Fan Reactions to Girlfriend Emily Blunt with John Krasinski
The wedding of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski may be a blow to the hearts of nerdy 20 and 30somethings everywhere, but it may be the smartest thing Emily Blunt has ever done for her career. She hasn't been getting a ton of work since The Devil Wears Prada, and sewing herself to the ever more popular Krasinski is sure to get her more name recognition. For his part, Krasinski has scored a gorgeous wife with a career of her own, hardly some Hollywood hanger-on looking to profit from his career. We wish them the best of luck.

Fans of Krasinski's breakout performance on The Office may find it hard to accept that their favorite guy "Jim Halpert" is getting married to anyone besides the hilarious but generally soft spoken and plain "Pam Beesly". Emily Blunt is no Pam Beesly -- Blunt is just 27 years old and a stunning beauty with long dark hair and bright and shiny eyes. Asked about his attraction Emily Blunt, a younger Krasinski offered that the number one thing he looks for in a woman is "a good sense of humor" -- judging by Emily Blunt's looks, a nice pair of breasts and a pretty face don't hurt either.
