Wedding bells will soon be ringing within the Conservative caucus after MPs Helena Guergis and Rahim Jaffer have announced they plan to be married.
Guergis, MP for Simcoe-Grey and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Trade and Secretary of State for Sport, was spotted wearing an engagement ring in the House of Commons on Thursday.
Conservative MPs Rahim Jaffer and Helena Guergis announced their engagement in October 2007.

The pair announced the news Wednesday at a party caucus meeting.
Jaffer, member for Edmonton-Strathcona, and Guergis have dated for more than 18 months.
The two regularly make the top three in Parliament Hill's lighthearted lists of sexiest and best-dressed MPs.
They'll join another set of married MPs on the hill — NDP Leader Jack Layton and Toronto NDP MP Olivia Chow.
