It does seem too perfect to be true, but this is not a joke! According to US Magazine and MTV News, 32 year-old Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard proposed to actress/She & Him singer Zooey Deschanel (28) sometime before the holidays. Let's crown them the indie rock couple of 2008? Both musicians were highly successful in 2008, Zooey releasing Vol. One of her collaboration with M. Ward, and Death Cab's Narrow Stairs hitting the #1 spot on the Billboard 200.

Deschanel had previously dated actor/musician Jason Schwartzman and Mickey Madden from Maroon Five. Various Web sites are reporting that the couple have been dating for almost a year, and they shared the stage together — dueting on a cover of the Everly Brothers' "Dream" — at an Obama fundraiser in August. -MTV News
