FIRST DATE

John took a chance and asked Emily out. He decided to give it his best shot and took her to a firing range. According to John, he decided he might as well blow his chances before he was in too deep, but the date was a success.

Before long, John and Emily were head over heels in love and a couple, and in August 2009 the actor proposed. Less than a year after they met they were engaged and planning a wedding.

Emily has revealed that to her distress, the now six-year-old Hazel is developing an American accent.

ITALIAN WEDDING

Emily and John were married in a breathtaking romantic ceremony at movie star George Clooney's Lake Como's estate. John wore an elegant dark suit and a white rose buttonhole.

As for Emily, she was a vision in a white Marchesa tulle wedding gown with delicate straps. There was, however, one mishap. Emily had tried out a spray tan that left her decidedly orange in hue and stained her dress -- the one regret connected to her marriage.
