The actress reportedly found a website via Google and contacted them late at night for a wedding ceremony with Jeff the next day.

She went on to describe how a man dressed in a bright Hawaiian shirt and carrying a briefcase arrived later from Alhambra. They got married in their backyard two hours after she contacted the website.

Aubrey joked that Jeff "almost missed the wedding" while they waited for the dinner they had ordered. Aubrey, meantime, had created a "love altar" with information about their relationship, little stones, and a smoke-fire.

Except for their neighbor, whom Aubrey Plaza regarded as a real-life witch, the two married without anyone else knowing.
