Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen became engaged in 2004 after two years of dating, but a wedding was not yet in sight for the actors. But suddenly in 2010, Fisher apparently emailed friends saying, “We did it – we’re married! …I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss – just us!”

The wedding took place at an intimate ceremony in Paris and by then, the couple already shared a three-year-old daughter, Olive. Fisher converted to Judaism in order to mary Cohen, saying at one point, “We have a future together and religion comes second to love as far as we are concerned.”
