Liam Hemsworth popped the question! Miley Cyrus announced to People Magazine that she is engaged to be married to Liam Hemsworth. In a statement the 19-year old singer and Hannah Montana actress says, "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam."

Liam, 22, proposed on May 31st with a 3.5 carat diamond ring from jeweler Neil Lane. The celebrity jeweler told People that Liam asked for "something unusual. Something really beautiful and romantic." Liam and Neil Lane went back and forth until Liam was satisfied. The final pick was a 3.5 carat cushion-cut diamond handcrafted in 18-karat gold. The ring has a distinct art nouveau pattern with handcarved diamond floral motifs. The center stone is highlighted by smaller stones set in the gold band. The jeweler says, "The light flashes and sparkles no matter where Miley moves her hand." The center stone is an antique from the late 19th century. Neil Lane says, "It was hand-cut around 1880 or 1890 and it's unique and in its original form. At that time no two diamonds were alike, as they were all hand-cut, so it's fascinating to look at because it hasn't been re-cut to look contemporary over the years. I find that really romantic."

Either I'll perform or I'll get on of my friends to perform and it's just a whole day dedicated to those foster mothers, giving them the opportunity to just take a break and be appreciated. We've gone to visit the families, we do a camp every year. An entrepeneurial camp. Just making sure these kids get those opportunities."

Scott MacIntyre and his girflfriend Christina Teich are husband and wife. The American Idol finalist, the first blind person to make it to the final rounds, met his wife in a community theatre production of The Music Man, back in 2003.

The singer proposed to her over afternoon tea in February. "The tea sandwiches came out, then the scones, then the pastries ... and normally that's where it would've ended ... but then a fourth course arrived – a silver platter covered in rose petals with the ring box in the center. I got down on one knee, and the rest is history," he said of the proposal.

The couple got married on Thursday in Scottsdale, Arizona. Scott even wrote a song for his bride, called "Wanna Be There", that he performed at the ceremony. They will spend their honeymoon on Kauai, Hawaii.

Congrats to the newlyweds!
