Sean Gunn, the star from Guardians of the Galaxy and Gilmore Girls, has tied the knot with actress Natasha Halevi in a picnic marriage that commenced on Saturday, June 15, at Catalina Island, Southern California.
Sean and Natasha followed a novel ‘wedding picnic’ theme for their big day. The ceremony was held at Catalina’s Descanso Beach Club and hosted by Sean’s brother, director James Gunn.
The ‘picnic wedding’ was attended by a number of celebrities including Judy Greer who remained present during the whole function.
Jenna Fisher and Jennifer Holland were welcomed by an assortment of multi-color blankets imported from Kenya, spread to create a colorful design in the garden.
Each blanket had a bucket containing treats like cheese, Savannah Bee Company honey, Rosewater, multicolored sun umbrellas, and some disposable cameras.
“We are partial to Savannah; it was our first date when we met while working in Atlanta,” 37-year-old Natasha told PEOPLE.
“We really wanted to break the wedding rules so everyone would have space to have fun and be themselves.”
She added: “We ‘Start’ed by giving a dress code of ‘1920s disco ball goes to the beach,’ which basically meant: be fun, be fabulous, be colorful, be shiny, be awesome.
“We wanted to get rid of the fear of outshining anyone — and our friends definitely brought it!”
After the official proceedings of the wedding, the newlyweds performed a New-Orleans-style parade, led by friends of the couple, having musical abilities ranging from amateurs to “Grammy winner.”
The parade was succeeded by a reception held in a large 1920’s ballroom of the iconic Catalina Casino.
The bride’s attire consisted of a made-to-order skirt/top combination designed by Kyha, an Australian designer, while the groom was dressed in a silk and linen white suit with grey stripes.
The marriage ceremony was undoubtedly the main event but Natasha, Sean, and all their guests celebrated and enjoyed the whole weekend with an assortment of fun activities, ranging from welcome drinks to yoga.
A kayaking activity was also arranged on the big day.
“Ultimately, encouraging our loved ones to be creative is what made it feel so joyful for us,” Sean said. “I try not to use the word ‘perfect’ too often, but damn if it wasn’t really close.”
“We are creative and playful and so are our friends and family, and we wanted to make that a big part of our wedding,” Natasha added.
