WWW.NORTHERNLIFE.CA – Sudbury resident Sarah Lavallee said she was nervous about meeting Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively at Health Sciences North.  Reynolds, who is married to Lively, paid a visit to Health Sciences North’s pediatric unit this past weekend. Reynolds is in town filming Atom Egoyan’s Queen of The Night.

“Ryan and Blake were both very kind to us. They introduced themselves right away and asked how my son was doing. He is only three months old, and wasn’t really able to appreciate the visit like the older children, but it’s something I can tell him about when he is older.”

She said Reynolds and Lively chatted with them and asked Lavallee how she was doing being in the hospital 24 hours a day and when her little boy might be able to go home.

“Even though he had no idea who they were, my son did give them one big smile,” she said. “It was nice to see since he wasn’t smiling a lot at that point, and I really appreciated both Ryan and Blake giving me something to smile about at such a difficult time. It was a very unexpected visit, and I thought it was especially nice of them to take pictures of me with each of them before they left.

As we reported back in September Blake and Ryan Reynolds married quietly and secretly in Charleston, South Carolina. Marthastewartweddings.com has finally revealed some of the long-awaited wedding photos (although there’s sadly not much to see of Blake’s beautiful Marchesa wedding dress) on their website. For more on the wedding, be sure to grab a copy the winter edition of the Martha Stewart Weddings issue !

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are no strangers to a sea of cameras aimed at them. But when they decided to marry, they wanted to celebrate in privacy—and in style. And while they remain protective of images of them on their most heartfelt occasion, they graciously let us share pictures of the elements we created together.

Congrats to the newly wed couple !

ARTICLE 1: VOGUE.UK.COM - GUCCI muse Blake Lively married Ryan Reynolds in a secret wedding ceremony last night. According to reports, the pair tied the knot at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, yesterday evening. The couple have been dating for a year, after meeting on the set of film Green Lantern in 2010.

The bride walked down the aisle in a couture Marchesa bridal gown, custom-made by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig ( get all the details on the dress here!)

Florence Welch - a good friend of Lively’s – performed three songs at the reception, which was held inside a white tent on the plantation, People reports. The bride’s mother and sister were confirmed to be in the area, having been spotted dining in nearby Charleston earlier in the week – while it’s also believed that designer Christian Louboutin was in attendance.

According to a journalist from the Mount Pleasant’s local radio station – 95.1FM – it was an intimate affair.

“A few days ago, I heard Ryan was in town. Then today, lots of signs went up at Boone Hall Plantation stating that it was holding a private event – so no one could get into the area. I also started hearing rumours that a celebrity wedding was taking place,” Kelly Gukanovich told E! News.  ”I am being told there were around 60 people at the event and that a local restaurant may have catered it. Ryan has always loved it here and when he got together with Blake he started to bring her here, too.”

The Hollywood pair decided to keep their engagement under wraps, despite clear indication that the relationship was getting serious when it was confirmed that they had bought a home together in Bedford, New York, several months ago.

VOGUE.COM dined with the Gossip Girl star at a Gucci event during the Venice Film Festival earlier this month – to which we witnessed Reynolds arrive in private after all the cameras had left. The couple have always opted to keep their relationship out of the media eye as much as possible, and are rarely seen in public together.

This is the second wedding for the actor, who previously married actress Scarlett Johansson back in 2008. They divorced two years later.

So far, no official comment has yet been made from either Lively or Reynolds.
