Late Saturday night indie-darling Zooey Deschanel officially tied the knot with indie-stalwart Ben Gibbard, making for what is sure to be deemed the indie wedding of the year. Huzzah! Indie! According to a source from People Magazine, the wedding took place near Gibbard’s home in Seattle, Washington. First engaged earlier this year (December), the happy couple had at that point already been dating for over a year.
For those unfamiliar with the work of these two (think: indie + quirky), Ben Gibbard, 33, is the lead man in Death Cab for Cutie, whose last album went #1 on the Billboard charts (how indie!) as well as the bleep-blop-college-band-of-choice the Postal Service. As to the 29-year-old Zooey Deschanel, outside of being a certified (and adorable) Chickolith, she’s an actress and sometime musician (She & Him) who most recently appeared as the female lead in 500 Days of Summer. She has also appeared in Elf as well as numerous other indie flicks.

Man, Ben Gibbard is one ugly SOB. Really pushes home the need for unattractive males to pick up a guitar / form a band. Shit works.
