Carrie Preston at True Blood's Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer wedding

According to The Stir, HBO's True Blood's Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer got married in Malibu, and without the fake blood that covered their bodies in the photo on the cover of the September Rolling Stone Magazine.

True Blood co-star Carrie Preston was at the event, as well as Elijah Wood, and both saw the groom jump into the pool, as presented at TMZ.com.

The romance between Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer started while they were on the set of True Blood, then blossomed into his proposal a year ago. The Stir asks if on screen romances, like the one between Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer's characters, that become off-screen romances (real or fake) make you watch movies.

There's no real proof that formula consistently works. (If someone knows of a study on that, inform this blogger.) A movie or TV show ultimately survives on how good its viewers perceive it to be.

The romance creates buzz that a good publicist can use to fan the flames of interest, but if viewers don 't like what they see beyond the attention increase, they will go away.

That's also true even for the all the buzz around the True Blood Rolling Stone photo with Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, and Alexander Skarsgard on the cover.

While it's got the blogsphere talking, if people watch and don't like True Blood, the party's over.
