Welsh actor of Notting Hill fame (the wildly annoying friend of Hugh) Rhys Ifans proposed to actress and Brit style icon Sienna Miller (who starred with late and great Heath Ledger in Cassanova and was engaged to Jude Law for seven months) last August via a love note (in his native Welsh), and got a no.

He tried again at Christmas, allegedly sneaking an engagement ring in Sienna’s Christmas present, but again got a negative. Well, persistence does pay off, because the happy family finally announced that they are finally engaged. Third time lucky Rhys!
