Uma Thurman Marrying Financier, Ethan Hawke Weeps

(Also: What exactly IS a financier? I mean, besides being someone with a whole lot of freakin' money?)

So this is kind of weird (or is it?): Uma and her beau Arpad Busson actually took out an ad in a newspaper to announce their engagement:

Keen-eyed readers of Saturday's edition of The Times newspaper will have spotted, discretely placed amongst the other personal announcements, news of the couple's joy.

The declaration, headed: "Mr A Busson and Miss U Thurman", read: "The engagement is announced between Arpad, son of Mr Pascal Busson, of Paris, and Mrs Florence Harcourt-Smith of South of France, and Uma, daughter of Mr and Mrs Robert AF Thurman, of New York".

Klassy! Or is it Classy? I have no sense of these things, you see. I am decorum and etiquette deficient.

Anyway dude is a multimillionaire and was married previously to model Elle MacPherson. So that's... good? I guess?

Clearly I'm ambivalent. And/or confused. If I'm being perfectly honest, a large part of me wishes Uma had just stuck with Gary Oldman (awesome!), yanno? Would've saved us a whole lot of trouble and heartache, what with that whole sordid Ethan Hawke affair. I mean, not that OUR feelings matter or anything. cough.

Soooo... Congratulations to the happy couple! (I think?)
