Proposed to Not Once but Twice, Mary Kate Olsen Now Rushes Wedding Date
Mary-Kate Olsen, 28, the flighty twin that many did not really think will settle down shocked the industry and her fans when she was rumored to have got engaged on Feb. 28 to no other than her current boyfriend, Olivier Sarkozy, 44. Because of the age gap, many even speculated that the relationship will not last. The rumors were all but confirmed when the young fashion mogul was spotted out wearing a gigantic gold and diamond on the finger where engagement rings are placed. If she is just playing with the media or displaying her quirky fashion sense, then she is fooling a lot of people.
Saying yes to Olivier Sarkozy, the brother of former French president Nicholas Sarkozy, and who was already married to Charlotte Bernand and has two kids Julien, 12 and Margo, 10 is not the most shocking news, too. According to Mail Online, this is not the first marriage proposal that the Olsen twin received from Sarkozy. The first one took place a year ago but the actress turned designer was not ready to say yes at that time. "He tried about a year ago, and she wasn't ready," Us Weekly reports. "She didn't need to be wined and dined; she wanted to make sure he would be good to her." At 26, she might have been right about waiting and seeing first how things will turn out between them. Waiting did not deter Sarkozy or else we will not have this juicy engagement news in our midst.
And now that she said yes, Mary Kate Olsen is said to be rushing the date of their wedding. The designer cannot wait to settle down with his French banker and have kids. This is a far cry from the designer's younger days when she has been caught saying she would rather be a great aunt or a great godmother to Ashley Olsen's kids rather than have babies of her own. Mary Kate Olsen is also said to want the wedding to take place in the United States, where she is more comfortable. France for her seems to be all about Sarkozy and his past.
If Mary Kate Olsen gets her way, we will all be hearing wedding bells real soon and see cute pictures of Mary Kate Olsen's babies. However, Olivier Sarkozy is said to want a really nice and long engagement. Having already married and divorced, and despite loving his two wonderful kids, Olivier does not want to rush things anymore. In contrast to Mary Kate Olsen, Sarkozy wants the wedding on France.
If they can get these little details sorted out and actually formally announce their engagement as opposed to showing off diamond rings and heavy PDA every time a camera catches them, then everyone will be happier.
