Today beingNational Kissing Daywe look at another celebrity engagement….the actress and the musician… another age old celebrity pairing, Keira Knightley and  James Righton.  The actress’s spokesperson confirmed that after a 15 month courtship Kiera Knightley had accepted the Klaxons rocker’s proposal.

Although the couple have been dating since last year they have yet to walk the red carpet together and given the actress’ stance on privacy no further comment was made.

Kiera Knightley has become one of Britain’s biggest Hollywood stars since finding fame 10 years ago in Bend it like Beckham, since then she has starred alongside Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and  appeared in the very successful big-screen adaptations of Atonement and Pride & Prejudice whilst James Righton is the keyboard player in the indie band the Klaxons.

So with all that thrown into the mix, just what kind of wedding can we expect?  Will it be off beat indie with a hint of rocker thrown in?  Perhaps she will opt for some of that red carpet elegance she is known for or will she take some inspiration from her Jane Austin character? The possibilities are endless!!

We can but only speculate at this stage but we think these two dresses would be perfect for either red carpet glamour or vintage inspiration.
