Judy Greer Had A 'Planet Of The Apes'-Themed Wedding | HuffPost Life

This Actress Had A 'Planet Of The Apes'-Themed Wedding (Yes, Seriously)

We've seen plenty of themed weddings inspired by fan favorites like "Harry Potter" and "Alice In Wonderland." But when actress Judy Greer stopped by "Conan" on Thursday, she told the late night host about her less-than-traditional wedding theme -- and it's one we can safely say we haven't seen before.

When the "Arrested Development" actress married TV producer Dean Johnsen in December 2011, the pair planned a "Planet of the Apes"-themed affair. But Greer says the theme wasn't over the top.

"During the cocktail hour, we had the TV screens in the bar [with] the movies playing," she told O'Brien. "We had 'Rise [of the Planet of the Apes]' playing on one screen and then the original, obviously, 'Planet of the Apes' playing on the bigger screen."

Fittingly, Greer stars in this summer's "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes".

Watch the video above for more from the interview, including other "Planet of the Apes" wedding details and the hilarious movie quote Greer had inscribed in her husband's wedding gift.
