'Grey's Anatomy' wedding website for Mer-Der

This website, about the (fictional) upcoming nuptials of Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey), got 1,400 RSVP's in the first 24 hours. Of course I went directly to the gift registry information... and found that they want you to donate your money to charity in lieu of gifts. C'mon, who doesn't need another set of candlesticks?
It was creator Shonda Rhimes' idea to market the show this way. Not surprising, since her sister works for celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss

`Grey's Anatomy' actress pregnant with first child


Paging McDreamy: Do you know your fiancee is pregnant? Not really — just the actress who plays her.
Ellen Pompeo — who plays Dr. Meredith Grey, the future bride of Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd on "Grey's Anatomy" — and her real-life love, Chris Ivery, are expecting their first child together.
Pompeo's publicist, Jennifer Allen, did not give a due date.
The 39-year-old actress and Ivery, a record producer, are one of Hollywood's low-key couples. After three years of dating, they quietly tied the knot in November 2007 in a ceremony at New York City Hall.
Pompeo heads an ensemble cast on the ABC series. This season, Shepherd finally proposed to, satisfying fans who've hankered to see the star-crossed surgical duo walk down the aisle.
