Cynthia Nixon To Put a Ring On Girlfriend Christine Marinoni

More than a year ago Cynthia Nixon told the Mirror she'd marry girlfriend Christine Marinoni if she could, and now it appears they want to make honest women of each other.

Speaking at a gay rights rally over the weekend, Nixon announced her engagement to Marinoni. While there are no details on where and when the pair will wed, we wonder if they're holding out for the New York State Senate to make same-sex marriage legal. Considering what she said about marriage last May, it seems likely:

If it becomes legal I think we would… It’s something my girlfriend is interested in and it was not something my boyfriend ever was.

I think that to get married to her would be a little act of rebellion. It’s like if you’ve never had the vote and then you get it you’re going to run out there and vote.

I always avoided marriage in the past and was always very wary of it. I felt like it was potentially a trap. People sometimes want the party, the gifts and the public celebration of this big love - they’re excited about that rather than about the lifetime commitment. So I always steered clear of it.
