Parminder Nagra Gets Married, Which Is Apparently Interesting

Digg this!   

When you think ER, one name comes to mind – George Clooney. And then Noah Wyle. And then maybe that Croatian bloke.

And then Anthony Edwards, Alex Kingston, Eriq La Salle, Mekhi Phifer and Linda Cardellini. And then Marilyn Sue Perry who played Prison Ward OB Nurse Judy Rogers in two episodes a decade ago. And then, maybe, if you haven’t passed out from exhaustion, you might think of Parminder Nagra.

And congratulations if you did, because Parminder Nagra has got married. We’re guessing here, but we’d say Parminder Nagra’s wedding is probably the biggest thing to happen to the world this week.

If ER is destined to go down in history as the show that continued to be made for about five years after everyone thought it got cancelled – which it is – then Parminder Nagra is destined to forever be known as that woman who nobody ever recognises because she starred in ER during the time that everyone thought it had been cancelled.

Or, if you want to be less cruel, you could say that Parminder Nagra was the star of Bend It Like Beckham who deserved to be as famous as Keira Knightley but wasn’t because her stomach wasn’t concave enough. But we don’t want to be less cruel, so we’ll go for the ‘nobody recognises her’ angle, thanks.

But anyway, now that ER has actually been cancelled in a flurry of guest spots from actors who aren’t as expensive as George Clooney, Parminder Nagra needs something else to do with her time. Appearing in other medical dramas is out, not because she’s worried about typecasting but because – having already starred in Casualty, Holby City, Always And Everyone and ER – the only medical drama that Parminder Nagra hasn’t already appeared in is Grey’s Anatomy, and she’s not mental.

So instead Parminder Nagra has opted for plan B – she’s got married to some bloke she’s been going out with for seven years. OK! reports:

Congratulations to Parminder Nagra and her new husband, photographer James Stenson. The happy couple, who have been together for seven years, were married at 3:45pm PT in an intimate ceremony before friends and family at an elegant private home in the Hollywood Hills. The wedding itself was a traditional Sikh ceremony known as “Anand Karaj,” which translates into “blissful union.”

Parminder’s marriage to James Stenson shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise to anyone – last month she revealed that he’d knocked her up. Incidentally, while we’re on the subject we should point out a mistake in OK’s report – ‘Anand Karaj’ doesn’t actually translate to ‘blissful union’, but rather ‘duty-bound union that the husband only suggested out of guilt’. It’s an easy mistake to make, we’re told. It’s all in the inflection.

Anyway, we’d like to offer our sincere congratulations to Parminder Nagra on her marriage. Finally – something she’s better than Keira Knightley at! Result!
