Socialite and model Lauren Bush is currently discovering a new answer to the age-old question, “What’s in a name?” The relative of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and founder of FEED Projects is engaged to be married to Ralph Lauren’s son, David Lauren. Therefore, she will soon be Lauren Lauren if she decides to take his last name. Bush, who began modeling in high school, met David Lauren in New York in April 2004. According to People, Bush tentatively plans to solve this ironic dilemma by hyphenating her name. “I think it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren. That’s not final, but I think it’s nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned in that way,” she said.

Bachelorette couple Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez can’t wait to tie the knot. However, according to People, they have yet to announce their wedding date to the public. Lucky for the groom-to-be, the former reality star is no wedding diva. “She’s not a bridezilla, thank god,” Martinez said. “I’d be scared to death if she was, but no, she’s awesome.” It looks like the world of reality TV can count on one less bridezilla.

I have always wanted to dive the [Great] Barrier Reef, I will have to come back — maybe we’ll have a honeymoon in Cairns [Australia]?”
