Criminal Minds star Kirsten Vangsness, is engaged to Keith Hanson. The actor/writer asked actress who plays Penelope Garcia on the hit CBS show Criminal Minds, to marry him while surrounded by friends and family. Hanson popped the question a few weeks ago in a Hollywood hotel.
"He's the perfect partner for me and I feel like we evolve," Kirsten Vangsness, 43, told People Magaine
"When you're so into somebody and you get to just mush up next to them - that's the best part of it."
Vangsness compares wedding planning to producing plays, which takes her about six weeks. Vangsness says Hanson will help with the ceremony.
"He's more particular than I am, which is going to be fine, but he has many more requirements than I do," Vangsness told People.
"It might take a little while longer, but it's a quality problem."
The actress wasn't expecting to marry a man.
"I guess I never understood the term of being bisexual because once I let myself come out 10 or 12 years ago, I was like, 'Oh, okay I'm gay,' and I was perfectly okay with that, but then I was like, 'Wait, nothing changed in me,'" Vangsness told People. "I don't feel any different."
Vangsness was previously engaged to Melanie Goldstein in 2009 after the couple dated until 2009.
"I was so in love with her, but in terms of life growth, what we were both doing separately was just pulling us apart, not sexually, but in all other ways in terms of what your dreams are and what you want to go after and all that," Vangsness told People.
