Starring duo Dave Franco and Alison Brie reminisce about their real-life nuptials: celebrations involving weed pens, Pizzeria Mozza, and an unexpected gatecrasher.
Dave Franco and Alison Brie, Hollywood's beloved couple, shared an unconventional love story that began with a unique proposal in 2015. The proposal took place in Big Sur, California, where Franco, wearing a silver Zorro mask—a sentimental item from their first weekend together—popped the question with a "placeholder ring" bought at an antique store.
The mask, which Franco had kept all these years out of sentimentality, was meant to symbolize their love at first sight. However, the proposal was awkward and funny, with Brie laughing and confused as Franco tried to explain the significance of the mask during their trip.
Brie, who preferred choosing her own ring, eventually worked with their friend Irene Neuwirth to design her wedding ring. The couple tied the knot in an intimate wedding in Los Angeles in 2017, with only their parents and siblings in attendance. The ceremony was held on the balcony of their home, and the proposal took place on a patio, with Franco on one knee and a box containing an old rock.
Despite the occasional mishaps that usually occur at weddings, such as one of Franco's friends bringing an uninvited plus one, the couple's special day was filled with personal touches. For instance, they handed out personal pizzas as parting gifts at their wedding, a nod to their first party, which was held at Pizzeria Mozza for 60 of their friends after the wedding.
The Zorro mask from the proposal now hangs in the couple's kitchen, accompanied by a photo from their first meeting. This unusual keepsake serves as a constant reminder of their unique love story, which they have continued to celebrate in their personal and professional lives.
In 2025, the couple starred together in the movie "Together," and they have also decided to be producers on each other's projects to avoid burning people out. Additionally, Franco has written a thriller script, while Brie has written a new horror comedy script with her friend Alice Stanley Jr.
Despite their busy schedules, Franco and Brie's love story remains as unique and unconventional as the day they first met. The rule for their wedding, "No ring? No bring," seems to encapsulate their relationship perfectly—a love that is as precious as a sentimental Zorro mask and as strong as a custom-made wedding ring.
The couple's love, symbolized by the sentimental Zorro mask worn during Franco's unique proposal, remains a constant reminder of their beginning. Their wedding day, filled with personal touches, included a rule ensuring only those who valued their relationship could attend, akin to appreciating a custom-made wedding ring.
In the realm of entertainment, they continue to work together, co-starring in movies such as "Together," and producing each other's projects to maintain a harmonious balance in their creative pursuits, much like the unconventional yet lasting love they share with celebrities around them.
