Quotes About the Relationship of Sacha Cohen and Isla Fisher:
Isla: "We are going to get married, really, really, even more now than ever. We have been talking about it and we have been very close, but it has been difficult to plan. It is very important to me to have a beautiful ritual celebrated with all my family and friends, and to feel part of a community. And when you are in the public eye, to keep that private and to make it happen without it being really visible is really difficult."

Rebecca Murray about Isla and Sacha's wedding plans: "Isla Fisher’s engaged to comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and says she hasn’t gotten very far planning the wedding. “I'm not making a joke at all when I say that it's not something that I look forward to. And I hear that it's quite hard work,” admits Fisher. She’s not sure even what size the wedding will be, but she has definitely decided on one very important thing. “All I know is that I've ruled out wearing fairy wings. When I was nine I wanted to get married in fairy wings, and now I realize that's not cool anymore.”

Isla about being glad Sacha doesn't bring Borat home with him: "Luckily I'm not engaged to BORAT. That would be tough."
