Heroes star Ali Larter will be celebrating her first Christmas as a wife-to-be after accepting boyfriend Hayes McCarthur's marriage proposal over the weekend.

The 31-year-old actress put a little commitment pressure on her boyfriend in a recent magazine interview when she revealed her plans to wed and settle down.

She said, "I told my boyfriend after three weeks that I wanted to marry him and that we could do it tomorrow. I look forward to that time when I'm home with babies."
