Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) the Bachelor Slayer

Although no wedding date has been set, there seems to be little doubt that one of the cutest young couples in Hollywood are well on their way to a lifetime of wedded bliss. As the star of the WB's cornerstone hit, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' Sarah Michelle Gellar is charged with ridding her small town and high school of vampires and other evil minions. As the fiance of Freddie Prinze, Jr., now she'll only have to worry about warding of the wiles of the legions of teenage fans that flock to both her and her new hubby-to-be. Matt Labov, a publicist for Prinze, Jr., publicly announced the engagement on Tuesday, and Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Gellar announced the news to family and friends at a celebration for her 24th birthday on Saturday evening.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has risen to the ranks of TV's elite through the continued and growing success of 'Buffy' and that momentum has carried her into film roles, where she has gained even more notoriety. Freddie Prinze, Jr., son of the late 70's funnyman, Freddie Prinze, has also enjoyed success on the big screen during his young career. The two met on the set of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' in 1997 and are scheduled to begin filming together on a new 'Scooby Doo' movie this summer. As 'Buffy' prepares to air its 100th episode, the timing couldn't be better for Gellar, who is riding high in all aspects of her personal and professional life.
