Scarlett Johansson has always dreamed of becoming a bride, according to her close friend and designer Roland Mouret.

Mouret, who was photographed with the newly engaged actress on Monday (5May08), insists the 23-year-old has longed for years to marry and settle down.

He tells People.com, "It's something she's really wanted - to meet someone and get married. She's just such a great person and I'm so happy for her and wish her every happiness. She deserves it."

And although Johansson helped Mouret make a name for himself when she wore his coral gown to the 2005 Golden Globes, he is adamant he is not the designer selected to create a wedding dress for the bride-to-be: "No, no - it's not me!"
