the buzz log

The bride wore pink and diamonds. The groom donned a white silk shirt. Married before a glittering array of family, film stars, and family who are film stars, Tamil actors Surya and Jyothika (also spelled "Jothika" and "Jyotika") tied the knot on Monday in the city of Chennai, on the southeast coast of India. Following the ceremony, buzz on the nuptials raced to the Web, where it partied raucously throughout the night.

Searches on the celebrities' marriage, wedding, and wedding photos spiked off the Buzz chart. Film fans demanded a "wedding photo of surya," lingered over "jothika actress," and rejoiced with "tamil actors surya jothika." They also betrayed individual leanings by seeking either "jyothika marriage" or "surya's marriage," but hey, both actors are heartthrobs. For those who had followed the pair's three-year romance both onscreen and off, it must have been a satisfying, real-life finale.

But admirers who mentally sat themselves on Jyothika's side of the aisle found themselves nursing bitter disappointment the next morning. Not because they'd lost the lovely actress to her leading man, but because they will never again enjoy her on the silver screen. The day after her wedding, the new Mrs. Surya announced that she was retiring from film to live happily ever after. The end.
