Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon and girlfriend Christine Marinoni are engaged.

Nixon announced the news during the Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally, a pro-gay marriage event New York on Sunday (May 17.)

Nixon began dating Marinoni in 2003 after breaking up with her long time partner Danny Mozes, the father of her two children. Nixon said last year that she had plans to marry Marinoni, although the pair only became officially engaged last month. No date has been set for the wedding.

Ellen DeGeneres announced that she’ll be marrying her girlfriend Portia de Rossi since California State Law has decided to legalize same-sex marriages. After making the announcement yesterday during the show’s taping, someone spilled to TMZ and Ellen subsequently released the following to The Advocate:

I’m thrilled that the California supreme court overturned the ban on gay marriage. I can’t wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday we’ll look back on this and not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote.

P.S. I’m registered at Crate & Barrel.

The next couple I hope we get to see walk down the aisle is Cynthia Nixon and longtime girlfriend Christine Marinoni, especially after she revealed that she would consider if “if it became legal” in New York.

There are a lot of people celebrating out there, celebrities or not, and that includes all the Californian wedding planners and florists. If they’re happy, I’m happy!
