It's been a whirlwind romance for Patton Oswalt and Meredith Salenger, but it's now been announced that they are set to marry just weeks after they stepped out as a couple in public for the first time. It's also only been 14 months since the comedian's first wife passed away.

It's amazing to see 'The Goldbergs' star so happy, especially as it's only been a couple of months since the first anniversary of his wife Michelle McNamara's death. Last month he took his new girlfriend Meredith Salenger to the premiere of 'Baby Driver', and now he's asked her to marry him. 

'I put the ring in a marzipan Slave I replica and said, 'Will you be my Padawan of Love?' She maced me but said yes later', Patton joked on Twitter.

Meredith confirmed the news on Instagram. 'It's official. I'm the luckiest happiest girl in the universe!!!! I love you Patton Oswalt, I love you Alice Oswalt!', she wrote.

According to People, it's still only a new relationship. 'They met through mutual friend Martha Plimpton', a source told the publication. 'They started chatting as friends and it blossomed from there.'

Both Patton and his 8-year-old daughter Alice Rigney deserve someone else in their life to care for them. It was only April last year when Patton's wife and Alice's mother passed away unexpectedly in her sleep following complications with a heart condition and her medication.
