Morissette and Reynolds, who starred in "National Lampoon's Van Wilder," began dating through e-mail messages in 2002.

"I knew early on that he was someone I could spend the rest of my life with," she said. "I just feel like we're family and we're on this journey of evolving together. He's courageous, he'll talk about anything, he takes responsibility, he's just unbelievable."

Reynolds, 27, asked Morissette's parents for her hand in marriage without her knowledge.

"We were at home," she said of Reynolds' proposal. "It was very simple, pure and sweet -- and shocking!"
