The starring couple of this week's "Hit and Run," Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, have yet to say "I do" after a two-year engagement. But the pair recently told CNN that they do want to get married - it's just that they're intent on waiting to tie the knot when their gay friends have that right, too.
“I don't believe in standing in the way of love, and I want to stand up for that right," Bell, 32, said. "And that's what it is. If someone wants to commit their life to another person, why would I not bolster that argument?”
Plus, her fiancé added, throwing a wedding before then "would just be tacky."
Shepard, 37, told CNN that taking a stance on gay marriage is by no means a way to put off a wedding.
"Do you know what this thing costs?" Shepard asked, holding up Bell's engagement ring. "This is more commitment than getting a tattoo! Like ... we own this thing!"
So no, he went on, it's not that they're "punishing America by not getting married. We're not going to have a party when half of our friends ... can't do that thing we're doing. We're not going to ask them to come celebrate a right they don't have. That's just tacky! Forget like anything else, it's like really tacky for us.”
And when they do say their vows, there's a chance they might try and coerce "Savages" star Taylor Kitsch to join them at the altar. Watch the video below to find out why.

Slightly old, but I didn't see it posted. They're pretty cute in the videos, bordering on obnoxious. Still, I love Veronica Mars forever.

girl, it's a recession save money where you can
He's obviously not the appointed spokesman for all gays everywhere, but he finds it upsetting.
tl;dr, it's not MARRIAGE that upsets him so much as it is overtly affectionate straight couples.

and other than this "sacrifice" or w/e, what exactly are you doing to help the cause? are you petitioning? are you protesting?
by all means, get married. let me take advantage of the open bar and an excuse to look dapper in a suit while I can't get a relationship to last longer than 6 months.
i love vmars but it felt like kristen's real personality snuck in towards the end there, making veronica insufferable and self righteous...i always get the feeling she thinks she's the wittiest, cutest girl in the room and everyone else needs to know it too
that is exactly how i feel
just don't watch s2 or s3 otherwise you'll just hate her
ugh
