News of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber married this year seems overdue, considering the couple has been engaged for five years and with two children between them. They're tying the knot, but they won't make a big fuss about it.

With celebrity weddings besting each other in pomp and ceremony, Naomi and Liev plan to take theirs in stride. They have the patience to boot; the couple's nine-year relationship has its ups and downs, but their engagement of five years is proof they're in it for the long haul.

A friend to the couple says that "while Naomi and Liev have had their ups and downs, including a cancelled New Year's Eve wedding right before 2008, they've finally worked out their differences and are rethinking marriage. Liev fell in love with Naomi all over again this past year."

They're planning to wed close to the holidays, and it'll be an intimate, family affair. Their kids had a hand in ensuring Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are married this year, according to an OK! Magazine source.

"Marriage was never a big deal to Naomi or Liev, but now their boys are asking why they aren't married, so they're gonna take the plunge."

"They would do anything for their kids, and they think it will be a fun family thing to plan together. It will end up being a small, intimate wedding, with just immediate family and friends. Their sons will be the only members of the wedding party." (komonews.com)
