Perhaps she was just eager to talk about anything but the controversy that has been surrounding her hit show in recent weeks, but Shonda Rhimes -- the notoriously secretive creator and executive producer of Grey's Anatomy -- threw fans a major piece of gossip in a recent interview.

"There's going to be a wedding in the near future," she told People magazine. "And it's going to be spectacular."

Rhimes' comments to the magazine regarding star Isaiah Washington and his alleged remarks toward co-star T.R. Knight were published Thursday. The print version of People contains a considerably longer article, however, which included this minor spoiler from Shonda.

The unabridged report also included additional interviews with the cast. Both James Pickens, Jr., who plays Dr. Webber, and memorable guest star Jeffrey Dean Morgan defended Washington's character and downplayed the fight that has dominated headlines of late.

Rhimes didn't say who would get married or how soon, of course, but the prospect of a Grey's Anatomy wedding already has us guessing.

We certainly have some ideas, as you surely do. Who do you think it is, and when do you think it will occur? We'll have to wait and see.
