I'm a jewelry girl. I became with friends with designer Irene Neuwirth a few years ago. At that point I just used to wear my wedding rings. Very low key. Now if I could I'd be draped from head to toe in her jewelry all the time. Everything she makes is beautiful.
I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.
My wedding was at home so I didn't really want to wear a veil in my house. Instead I wore a lot of diamond hair clips. They were brooches actually designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
It gave me a lot of pleasure and pride that 90 percent of the crew for 'Monsoon Wedding ' and most of my film are women. We get the work done you know much lesser play of ego...

My family is almost exactly like the one in 'Monsoon Wedding'. We are very open fairly liberal loud people.
I just wrapped this movie called The Wedding Crashers which was a pretty big break for me.
She tells enough white lies to ice a wedding cake.
On my wedding day. I didn't want a natural blushing-bride look - I had a full-on hairdo and red lips. I thought it would be disingenuous to do the whole virginal look so even though I had the white dress I had pink net underneath.
I thought I was attractive when I shot 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them.
On the publicity tour of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding ' I was asked over and over again if as the writer I felt it was a fair depiction of real life to have someone of my er below average looks hook up with hottie John Corbett.
I saw a photograph of a wedding conducted by Reverend Moon of the Unification Church. I wanted to understand this event and the only way to understand it was to write about it.

The wedding ring on my left hand was bought by my grandfather Samuel Miliband in Brussels in 1920. I never knew him as he died when I was one. But his ring was kept by my aunt until it was placed on my finger by my wife Louise 32 years later.
Well I'll tell you something this wedding is something that I will always always cherish. It was a show of love and support and kindness like I'd never seen from the people and that's who I entertain. I entertain the people.
For me life has either been a wake or a wedding.
A big part of being in a wedding is the financial obligation and that's something that people don't really talk about but if you're asked to be in a wedding you're gonna have to fork over some cash.
For my first wedding I cried all the way down the aisle. My fake eyelash came off. My nose was red. My eyes were swollen. I'm not one of those pretty criers.
When I planned my wedding the first time my ex-husband and I we were both struggling comics. I had a TV show that had gotten cancelled. Basically I rented a wedding gown the reception hall smelled like feet.
When I auditioned for 'Wedding Crashers ' the producers had never seen any of my other work except for Bond. I got 'Wedding Crashers' partly because I was a Bond girl.
I love doing comedy. Absolutely love it. After 'Wedding Crashers ' people suddenly realized that it was something I could do.
