Dave Franco and Alison Brie 'handed out weed pens at party'
The 40-year-old actor and Alison, 42, tied the knot in 2017, and Dave has recalled proposing to the brunette beauty during a trip to Big Sur in California.
He told Variety: "We were going to Big Sur, one of our favourite places on Earth. I decided I was going to do it there. And I didn't have the ring."
Alison then said: "He knew that I wanted our friend Irene Neuwirth to design my ring."
Dave put a lot of time and thought into his proposal.
The actor shared: "The day before the trip, I figured I should have a placeholder ring so I could at least put something on her finger. I went to an antiques store down the street from us and got what I thought was a cool, old ring.
"We first met at Mardi Gras in New Orleans years ago, and Alison had this silver mask on her head the entire weekend. I had written my phone number on the mask, and at the end of the trip, I took it and hid it. She didn't know I'd kept the mask all these years."
Alison continued: "He calls me out onto the patio. I turn around and Dave's on one knee in a Zorro mask, holding a weird box with an old rock in it. I had no idea what was going on."
The Hollywood duo wanted to have a small, lowkey wedding ceremony, but they still decided to throw a party with their friends.
Dave shared: "We wanted people to let loose and go crazy. Much more than they did. We were handing out weed pens, which just led to everyone bringing home multiple to-go pizzas."
Dave and Alison always had a clear idea of what they wanted their wedding day to look like. And the actor admits that it was one of the best days of their lives.
He said: "Neither of us were ever big into weddings. Like, this was not a super important thing to us. At the end of the day, we did it exactly how we wanted. In a cheesy way, that ended up being one of the best days of our lives."

Liam Neeson lashes out at tardy actors
Liam Neeson has hit out at actors who are late to set. The 73-year-old actor revealed he has heard 'disturbing stories' about stars who show up late for filming and insisted he would 'never work with those people'. He told Rolling Stone magazine: 'That's very important. I hear disturbing stories about actors and actresses who are very gifted, but show up on the set two, three, four hours late. I would never work with those people. I think it's so insulting. You have a crew of like 60, 70, 80 people waiting for you. The very least you can do is give them the respect by turning up on time.' Meanwhile, Liam has pivoted to comedy with his new movie Naked Gun and admitted he thinks his action hero days are now behind him. He told Variety: 'The first Taken was 18 years ago, I was 54. Feels like a lifetime ago. I still get offered the occasional one. But I'm 73, for f***'s sake. I don't want to insult audiences if they're watching whole fight scenes and it's not me. I just wouldn't do it. Up until recently, I liked doing my own fight stuff. But I don't want to be doing that stuff with a Zimmer frame or walking stick. Sure, there might be another one out there, but nothing definite on the horizon.' However, there is one genre of movie he will never do. He said: 'I'm a big believer in writers and the script. That's the foundation stone, no matter what the genre. Except horror. I won't do horror.'

I feared ruining The Studio, says Dave Franco
Dave Franco feared he would "ruin" The Studio. The 40-year-old actor made a cameo appearance in the hit comedy series, and he's admitted to being shocked by his Emmy nomination. The Hollywood star - who has been nominated for the Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series gong - told People: "I always saw that coming. No, it's insane. "And the truth of it all is I truly did not think this nomination was even a possibility. I remember when they first sent me all of the episodes [of the show after filming], I started watching through it, and I was like, 'Oh no. This is my favourite show, and I'm about to come in and ruin it.'" Dave - who is married to actress Alison Brie - actually double-checked his nomination online. The actor shared: "[Allison and I] also didn't know when the nominations were being announced, and so we were in our kitchen, and I got a text from my publicist, and it just said 'EMMY NOMINATION.' And I go, 'Oh my God. [...] I think I just got nominated for an Emmy.' "I had to Google it. I didn't believe it." Meanwhile, Alison - who has worked with Dave on movies like 2023's Somebody I Used to Know - recently revealed that the couple's 'shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter' in their professional relationship. The actress and Dave love working together, but they're still "very selective" about the projects they commit to. Alison told Collider: 'I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together. "Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it's like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing. "We've been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We're very selective about projects that we will act in together. "We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it's all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did."
