Yesterday on The Talk, Sara Gilbert told the story of her engagement to Linda Perry. In short, it was very romantic and public during a musical flash mob picnic in the park. It inspired us to reminisce on other celesbians who have received rings in the not-so-distant past.
Ellen DeGeneres popped the question to Portia de Rossi while staring at a goldfish. No joke! Portia had just done a shoot and brought a goldfish home with her, and she was watching the fish next to Ellen when Ellen asked, "This is a pretty romantic moment, right?" Portia replied, "Every moment with you is romantic." Then Ellen presented her love with a three carat marquise cut diamond engagement ring accented with small pink diamonds, designed by Neil Lane.
Christine Marinoni asked Cynthia Nixon to be her wife in 2009 with a diamond engagement ring.

When Criminal Minds returns to CBS for its seventh season in September, Kirsten Vangsness will be there, as usual. Despite shakeups in the cast last year, the out actress (who has been with the show since its inception) has stuck around, playing the eccentric FBI technical analyst Penelope Garcia. And in the off season, she has been keeping herself busy by writing and starring in plays at the Theatre of Note in Los Angeles, guesting on two different web series and working on a musical film she originally wrote for the stage.
Somewhere in there, she has some free time to spend with fiancee Melanie Goldstein and attend press events, like the CBS TCA party where I caught up with her at last week. Kirsten spoke with me about her first love (theater), her excitement for the return of co-stars Aj Cook and Paget Brewster and when she and Melanie will say "I do.

"Criminal Minds" star Kirsten Vangsness is planning to turn her same-sex wedding into a world tour - exchanging vows in every country. The actress, who plays computer expert Penelope Garcia in the TV series, was forced to postpone her wedding plans in 2009 when gay marriage was outlawed in California, but now she and fiancee Melanie Goldstein have plans to turn their big day into a global celebration.
She tells E! Online.com, "We're going to do it in 2013 - no matter what. Melanie wants us to go to every place that it's (gay marriage) legal and just collect marriage certificates from places like Sweden and Mexico like people collect Disney pins. We want to put up a whole wall of them."...

Actress Kirsten Vangsness is to wed her longtime girlfriend Melanie Goldstein.
The star, known for her role on U.S. TV drama Criminal Minds, is planning a Texas wedding this spring for her nuptials to Goldstein, an assistant editor on TV show 24.
Same-sex unions are only recognised in two U.S. states - Massachusetts and Connecticut - but Vangsness is hopeful the new government under President Barack Obama's leadership will work to change the law.
And Vangsness admits even she is surprised by her own marriage news.
She tells People.com, "I never thought I would want to do it. Then when you meet the person, you're like, 'I want to marry you. I don't care if there's a law against it!'
"We're going to get married in Texas because her parents have this great place there. And since it's not official anywhere until things change - which I have total confidence that they will - we're going to do it there just to completely thumb our nose (show scorn) at the government."...
