Carey Mulligan & Marcus Mumford: Ready for Marriage!
Following a whirlwind five-month courtship, Carey Mulligan and her musician-beau Marcus Mumford are ready to walk down the aisle.
According to Us Weekly, the "Mumford & Sons" crooner willed up the nerve to ask for the 26-year-old "Never Let Me Go" star's hand during a romantic vacation to Somerset, England in late July.
The pair, who happened to be childhood pen pals, reunited this year after Carey hit up at one of Marcus' Nashville-based shows alongside her pal Jake Gyllenhaal.
"At the end of the night there were just the musicians, Jake, Carey, and the Mumford boys. We had some pizza, and just played music. Jake picked up a guitar and Carey joined in on 'Amazing Grace.' Marcus and Carey seemed really friendly," an insider told the magazine.
This is Mulligan's first serious relationship following her split with longtime boyfriend Shia LaBeouf in October 2010.
