Guests in attendance at the nuptials included Elizabeth’s close friend Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor.
The couple met in 2017 when they were walking their dogs in the same Los Angeles neighborhood.
Elizabeth joked about their fateful meeting, ‘We owe our dogs everything!’
Bruce popped the question in 2022 while they holidayed in Italy.
The proposal took place at what Elizabeth called her ‘favorite place in the world,’ Hotel Il San Pietro di Positano.
Reaser walked down the aisle to the sounds of a mandolin player and guitarist, arranged by her husband.
‘It was so beautiful that we stopped at the end of the aisle and had an impromptu first dance,’ Elizabeth shared.
‘I think it may have been the purest moment of happiness in my life.’
