6) Conan O’Brien & Liza Powel

O’Brien met Powel, a copywriter, on the set of his infamous late night show where she signed on as an advertising consultant in 2000.

O’Brien claims that she caught his eye right away and that it was love at first sight.

It took one year for the ring to enter the picture (For those who were wondering: it’s a custom job.

The cushion-cut diamond is tastefully set on a hardwearing platinum band).

On January 12, 2002, the couple tied the knot in Seattle, Washington. The ceremony took place in the afternoon and was officiated by Conan’s friend and Harvard roommate, Father Paul O’Brien. The party then recessed to Seattle’s Union Station for the reception. She wore Vera Wang and they planned for rain (it did rain, by the way).

They now have two children: Neve and Beckett and live in a quiet Connecticut country estate.
