Willow and Wesley sitting in a tree...
Yes, it's a match made in Sunnydale as Buffy's witchy sidekick Alyson Hannigan has charmed former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and current Angel player Alexis Denisof into proposing marriage.
A rep for the actress confirmed Tuesday that Denisof, aka Angel buddy Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, popped the question over their holiday hiatus while the twosome were doing the vacation thing in California's wine country.
It will be the first marriage for both.
The couple met on Buffy during the 1999-2000 season, but didn't become an item right away. "Actually, I had a crush on him from the moment he showed up on set, and he was the good one who said, 'Not while we're working together...' blah blah blah, whatever," Hannigan recounted to E! Online.
"So we became friends for a couple of years, and I was dating somebody else [Marilyn Manson drummer Ginger Fish], and when that didn't work out, he was on Angel and we just started dating. We had always had a very flirty relationship."
Hannigan, 28, has been playing the spell-casting Willow Rosenberg on Buffy since the show's launch in 1997 and has become a gay icon since the character came out of the closet. She has also moonlighted as happy band camper Michelle in the American Pie franchise--a role she'll reprise this month in the third installment, American Wedding, in which Michelle and Jim (Jason Biggs) get hitched. The comedy is due out in August.
Aside from playing the now evil Wesley, Denisof's credits include Disney's video sequel Tarzan & Jane and the 1995 Sean Connery-Richard Gere Camelot flick First Knight. He and Hannigan also costarred in last year's straight-to-video dud Rip It Off.
Although no nuptial date has been set, Denisof, 36, tells the New York Post that he sees the couple doing the wedding march in the fall, possibly September or October.
Hannigan should have plenty of time on her hands to pick out china patterns and lock down a decent caterer--all signs indicate that UPN will slay Buffy after this, the series' seventh season, in part because of the show's low ratings, high cost and the presumed exit of star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
