Ellen Pompeo looks happy as a clam (albeit a very malnourished clam), in her simple t-shirt, sweats and what appear to be the sunglasses preferred by my grandmother in Florida. But it's not just the sun and the surf that has the "Grey's Anatomy" star beaming--she just got hitched to her fiance of about a year, Chris Ivery, in a small ceremony at City Hall in New York. Mayor Michael Bloomberg acted as a witness during the event, while First Deputy Mayor Patti Harris was also present, Bloomberg's spokesman, Stu Loeser, told Us Weekly:
"The Mayor was in midtown for his weekly radio show, and he came back [downtown] for a series of meetings at City Hall, and this was one of the things he had planned."I totally understand not wanting to make a big deal and eschewing a notoriously over-the-top celebrity wedding, but I have this sneaking suspicion that Ellen was just trying to avoid having to be pressured into eating a slice of cake.

Not a big fan of Pompeo on Grey's, but I salute any celebrity who has the common sense not to turn their wedding into a public spectacle.
