Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper apparently began dating in July 2009, but they have barely said anything about one another and are rarely seen in the public eye together. While there is no proof of engagement, or even future engagement, Renee and Bradley have been spotting do a couple of “serious” things. First of all, Cooper was spotted joining Renee and her parents for lunch. Then, Renee was checking out the bridal aisles of Caroline Herrera’s shop in LA.

Could Renee be getting wedding fever? It has been five years since she married Kenny Chesney in a Caroline Herrera gown. Apparently, Herrera is one of Renee’s favorite designers, because of her chic and feminine designs. On one hand, why would Renee want to wear a dress similar to the one she wore for a wedding that obviously didn’t end in a lasting marriage? On the other hand, Herrera might be able to design her something completely different than the strapless formfitting gown she wore for her 2005 wedding.

Of course there might be some completely innocent reason for Renee´s window shopping.  If Herrera truly is one of Renee’s favorite designers, it might make sense that she would frequent her boutique. Perhaps she was just getting nostalgic about five summers ago, or perhaps she, like many other girls and women, was just dreaming about another fabulous wedding day and wanted to browse the new wedding gown designs.  There are bound to be new dresses she hadn’t seen, and perhaps she just wanted to know what this season had to offer in order to keep up to date with her style options "just in case".

Of course,  it´s also entirely possible that she wasn’t looking at the bridal section at all- Herrera offers a beautiful range of evening gowns too. Maybe she had a completely different reason for visiting the store, and what we’re reading is just the typical tabloid rumor mill hard at work.

However, if Renee and Bradley really are talking marriage it would make sense that Renee would choose her favorite designer to create yet another hit wedding dress for the special event. If she trusted Herrera’s fashion judgment before, then she must know that she’ll look amazing in anything designed for her. It is also a distinct possibility that Renee was deliberately baiting the press in order to stem rumors that circulated regarding her apparent and sudden "dislike" of Herrera, after she appeared at a recent awards ceremony in another designer´s gown.  Really, can´t a girl have a little choice and variety without inciting some kind of press drama??

Whether or not Bradley and Renee were talking wedding bells before, they’ll most likely touch on the subject now that the tabloids caught Renee at Caroline Herrera’s boutique. Even if she wasn’t looking at the bridal gowns, she’ll probably be thinking about them now.
