"i'm sorry, i have a previous engagement"

i have recently been informed that zooey deschanel (actress and 1/2 of she & him) and ben gibbard (death cab for cutie and the postal service) are... engaged!! does this make any sense to you? zooey is beautiful and an amazing singer and just all around amazing, and gibbard is a fairly annoying singer, often fat and unattractive, and an okay lyricist. alright, there's one picture where they look cute together, but still. oh well. if their happy, i have no complaints. except wtf?!
