The Courtship of Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer
The attraction between Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer was instant just like it was for True Blood's Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton. The couple met at a True Blood audition and started dating soon after. This is no surprise to many fans, who have noted the sizzling chemistry between Paquin and Moyer onscreen in many online fan site discussion forums.
This will be a first wedding for 27-year-old Paquin and a second one for 39-year-old Moyer. Moyer has a nine-year-old son (Billy) and a seven-year-old daughter (Lilac) from prior relationships.
Moyer commented in a Celebrity Bride Guide interview, "It's just exciting and that was there from day one…We always take the p- out of each other and are silly with each other and that is great. We're very, very happy. She's the best."
Prior to joining the True Blood cast, Canadian-born actress Paquin was best known for winning an Oscar for her performance as Flora in The Piano at the age of eleven and her role as Rogue in the X-Men movies.
Before True Blood, British-born actor Moyer is best known for his movie roles as Prouix in Quills and Prince Valiant in Prince Valiant.
Anna Paquin's Engagement Ring
There has been a lot of interest in Paquin's unique engagement ring. The day after the engagement was announced on the media, fans were able to view photos online of Paquin wearing her engagement ring. Fans commented about the vintage style ring design and asked for more information on the ring in online discussion forums.
The ring design resembles jewelry styles popular in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The round old European cut center stone is set in a silver metal. The vintage ring is something that fans can imagine Bill, who was turned into a vampire during the American Civil War era, presenting to Sookie. Fans speculated that the stone resembled a moonstone.
Moyer recently revealed to the media that Paquin's engagement ring is a dark rustic diamond set in fine silver. "It's made of silver and it has this amazing rustic diamond. It's not a rough diamond, but a diamond that isn't sort of clear and we decided to make it into a ring," Moyer commented on Paquin's engagement ring at the L.A. Dogworks and Good Dog Rescue Foundation gala in September, according to Show Biz Spy.
People.com reported that Moyer's friend, California jewelry designer Cathy Waterman, designed Paquin's engagement ring. Waterman is a popular celebrity designer.
