Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard married, first hipsterstream relationship made official

According to People, every flannel-wearing male's worst nightmare has officially been realized. About a year ago a sudden pang shot through our hearts when Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard adorned Zooey Deschanel's precious finger with a three-carat diamond and platinum Neil Lane ring. This Saturday near Seattle the knot was officially tied between the two hipsterstream (hipster + mainstream) icons, marking the first marriage of its kind.

As grown men dry their tears of jealousy, Gibbard, 33, and Deschanel, 29, leave many quesions lingering in the minds of pop culture fiends. The first of which, a fairly obvious one--Will the couple form the ultimate hipsterstream duo, shattering Scarlett Johansson's dreams of being the new 'it' girl, and putting M.Ward back in his place as another awkward, mediocre male vocalist?

The subsequent questions are all variations on 'Will they break up/will Zooey Deschanel marry me when they do?' So let's focus on the primary question at hand. The Postal Zooey? Deschanel Cab for Cutie? She & Ben? The possibilities are endless. Technically speaking there are literally hundreds of variations on their names and previous bands they've been in so it almost seems inevitable for them to put out an album.

When they do put out the album (no doubt a lovely mix of melancholy, country, and Elf) hipsterstream music will finally be realized with Ben and Zooey sitting comfortably atop the crowd as King and Queen. Now all we can do is wait for the recording process to start... or for them to have a baby and shatter our paradigm of indie perfection completely.
