Dave Franco and Alison Brie are a power couple who blend their personal and professional lives. While their latest collaboration, the chilling body horror film Together, has been making waves for its terrifying visuals and psychological depth, their real-life journey into matrimony tells a surprisingly sweet and often humorous story.

Far from the on-screen horrors they conjure, their wedding rituals were filled with attractive quirks and memorable moments, proving that even in Hollywood, love can be delightfully unscripted.

According to the interview by Variety on the 2017 Los Angeles wedding, Dave Franco's proposal to Alison Brie unfolded during a cherished trip to Big Sur, a location significant to the couple. Lacking the actual engagement ring, Franco cleverly got a vintage ring from an antique store. The truly eccentric element, however, involved a silver mask Brie had worn years prior during their initial encounter at Mardi Gras. Franco, having secretly preserved this mask, decided to incorporate it into his grand gesture, adding a layer of personal olden times to the momentous occasion.

The proposal took a confusing turn when Dave Franco, kneeling with the antique ring, was wearing the Zorro mask. Alison Brie, initially puzzled by the sight of her partner in a mask holding an unfamiliar ring, struggled to make sense of the situation. Franco found himself explaining the sentimental value of the mask, which she barely remembered. It was only after he clarified that a custom ring by Irene Neuwirth was forthcoming that she fully grasped the proposal's intent, ultimately accepting. Despite hoping for a wilder celebration, the party's highlight became guests taking home pizzas after being offered weed pens.
