After announcing her engagement to DeathCab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard in 2008, Zooey Deschanel has expressed some interesting theories on commitment and marriage. The wide-eyed actress stated, "People don't have to get married anymore. We're a generation that has progressed in many ways, from the ones before us. I think that the idea of romantic love is about marriage is over. Now all love is romantic love. Getting married is not a necessity, and staying with one person is not a necessity."
Getting married may not be a necessity, but being in shape for the wedding is. According to the New York Post, Deschanel has been spotted at Pure Barre in Los Angeles taking dance classes to tone up for her rumored autumn wedding. Deschanel is taking classes that utilize the ballet barre for balance and resistance.
The state of romantic marital love may be at risk for this generation, but at least they will all look like fitness gurus for their wedding ceremonies.
