Aubrey Plaza's Wedding Was Just As Unconventional As You'd Expect

Remember in Season 3 of "Parks and Recreation" when April Ludgate weds Andy Dwyer in a surprise ceremony? The two married on a whim after only a month of dating. Turns out, Aubrey Plaza also did that ... sort of. Unlike April, Plaza had been dating her boyfriend Jeff Baena for around a decade, but like April, the actual marriage was on the spur of the moment. Appearing on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," Plaza told the host that she and Baena decided to tie the knot after they "got a little bored one night" during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Explaining that it was their 10-year anniversary, the actor recalled how she'd wanted to "do something," like "get an ice cream cone" or "get married." Baena had no objections, other than he was unsure how fast one could legally get married. "Onehourmarriage.com. That's real, look it up," Plaza said. The couple's surprise ceremony featured quirky details that would have made April proud, including a "love altar," a rosemary wreath from Plaza's neighbor, and a man dressed in a Hawaiian shirt. Though the "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" star is hazy on the exact details, she's pretty sure it's legal.

It's unclear when exactly Baena and Plaza wed, but Plaza announced the news on Instagram on May 7, 2021, writing, "So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that takes us to italia to cause some more trouble." Following the post, her rep confirmed Plaza's newlywed status, per People.
