The pair wed at the Villa D’este in Como, Italy, according to UsMagazine.com . They had been staying at George Clooney’s villa near Lake Como since Independence Day weekend. Clooney and girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis attended the private ceremony. Blunt wore a cream, chiffon, sweetheart-draped Marchesa gown with embroidered detail. “It was an outdoor ceremony and absolutely beautiful,” a source told UsMagazine.com. “It was an official ceremony. They are husband and wife.” The pair met in 2008 and got engaged in August 2009 to much fanfare, as Blunt joked to MTV News last year. Krasinski reportedly popped the question with a 3-carat Edwardian diamond and platinum ring from Neil Lane worth upwards of $100,000. “She’s a wonderful girl,” Krasinski has said the “Devil Wears Prada” star. “So many people say, ‘You know when you know,’ and it’s true. It’s all true.” Last December, while promoting “It’s Complicated,” Krasinski joked that his TV wedding on “The Office” was a “dry run” for the real thing.
