This is for all of the people who wanted to talk about Amber Tamblyn and David Cross’s wedding yesterday. All of these photos come from Questlove’s Instagram – he was at the wedding, and he captured some beautiful photos of the “wedding in the woods”. I’ve included some of the most interesting photos in this post, but you can see even more here, at Questlove’s page. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were there! Blake looked like she stepped out of a Ralph Lauren ad. And the bride wore YELLOW! And Amber was barefoot. It actually looked like a really pretty ceremony.
Amber Tamblyn is anything but traditional. When the House, M.D. alum, 29, married Arrested Development actor David Cross, 48, on October 6, the barefoot bride — who arrived via kayak! — wore a canary yellow dress. With flowers in her hair, Tamblyn vowed to spend eternity with Cross as guests including Amy Poehler, 41, Jason Ritter, 32, and Questlove, 41, looked on. (Us Weekly exclusively confirmed their betrothal October 7.)
Other A-list attendees included Tamblyn’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars Blake Lively, 25, America Ferrera, 28, and Alexis Bledel, 30. Lively — who secretly married Ryan Reynolds, 35, in South Carolina September 9 — brought her husband as her date.
Questlove shared a series of pictures from Tamblyn and Cross’ wedding ceremony and reception via Instagram. In addition to snapshots of the bride and groom, The Roots musician also uploaded a picture of their unique dessert, a cheesecake featuring two fox cake toppers.
Yo La Tengo performed during the reception, while Questlove served as the deejay. This is the first marriage for both Tamblyn and Cross, who confirmed their engagement in August 2011.
Tamblyn next appears in the Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained, in theaters December 25. The movie also stars Jamie Foxx, 44, Leonardo DiCaprio, 37, Kerry Washington, 35, and Samuel L. Jackson, 63. Cross is currently shooting new episodes of Arrested Development, which is being revived via Netflix.
A cheesecake wedding cake? That’s fine. I’m not a cheesecake person, but I’m simply happy when a couple decides to go with tradition enough to actually have a cake (side-eye at Natalie Portman). And I don’t mind that Amber wore yellow – her dress was pretty, and she looked really happy. Fingers crossed that everything works out for them in the long run!

This looks like an awesome, non-Hollywood wedding right? The dress is so pretty- I love non-traditional wedding dresses.
They look so genuinely happy together that I just can’t hate.

Agreed! Fall wedding, outdoors in the countryside….why not a yellow dress?
The whole thing looked lovely and intimate and romantic. Good for them!

That’s sweet. I like it. These kinds of weddings are much more my speed than the big, expensive deals.
The age difference does kind of make me throw the side eye when I think about it, but they seem happy, so more power to them.

+1 to everything you said.
Amber looked lovely, I like that she didn’t go with a traditional dress and it suited the setting and season. Pretty.

Agreed about the age difference in most cases – especially given that we’d be ripping it apart if the woman were 19 years older – but two things:
1. David Cross really doesn’t seem like an egotistical douche trying to prove something with a younger bride &
2. They truly seem like a well matched couple.

Umm, a certain someone could have combed/brushed her hair or put it up. I know it was in the woods but geez, what’s the point of dressing nice and your hair looks unkempt.

Beautiful dress and a beautiful wedding. (I’m actually envious, I would have loved to have that kind of simple and outdoor wedding… but I married a man who’s family is in the wedding business. So at least all I had to do was show up, he and his dad took care of pretty much everything. Let my mom pick my dress and lord help me – I got stuck with the full princess including a freaking tiara. Oh well. Meh wedding was a decent trade for a great marriage.) I hope they are both wonderfully happy together!
Just one question? Um. Who the hades is “Questlove”? Their wedding dj?

Questlove is the drummer (and sometimes singer?) of the Roots, who were pretty big in the 90s and are now the house band on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show.
I want him to give me a giant hug. He seems like he would give great hugs.

Oh wow! That looks like the coolest wedding I’ve ever seen a celeb have. I love weddings that are personal and a reflection of who the bride and groom are, rather than some huge expensive ‘look at me’ extravaganza that’s more about impressing people than expressing the couples unity and love. Looks like it would have been relaxed and fun to attend. Congrats to them, despite any age difference, they seem like the real deal.

I’m starting to think these guys are my wedding heroes. Getting hitched in 6 weeks myself, and am struggling with the predictable, Pinterest-fueled pressure to conform with some sort of giant production that looks and feels like it’s created expressly to be featured on someone’s wedding blog.
This, however: this screams, “we have our own ideas about our day, you can take our kayak and shove it up your stupid reclaimed whiskey barrel full of hydrangeas.”
wedding industrial complex = heatheradair is a rage-ee bride-to-be. hate the pressure.
Yay to these two. They’re the upside of unconventional (as opposed to those Courtney/Doug harbingers of apocalypse).

Yes! I feel the same way. All I want is a great ring and a beautiful dress. I cannot stand huge wedding parties for those with princess delusions. So many of these weddings are tacky! I’d rather save that money for a kick-ass honeymoon trip than inviting hundreds of people that might not even be that close to me.
For me, I want something elegant, classy, uncomplicated but special. Not too many people. Absolutely no open bar (I don’t want drunks at my wedding like at my sister’s. There was soooo much alcohol people were LOST drunk. Awful!) yes, there will be alcohol but not too much, just great food, great music.
Absolutely NO freaking bridesmaids – UGH! Worst tradition ever. I don’t want my friends in matching ugly outfits. I don’t want to force them to throw me parties. Absolutely no children at my wedding. Ceremony or party. No flower girls. No ring bearer. In my experience, they never behave. If he even dares to suggest involving his dog in the ceremony he can kindly GTFO.
If you think about it, many of these traditions are tacky and terrible, but they stick because everyone does them and we feel like we have to, too. Well I refuse. I’ve been to so many weddings, I know exactly what I don’t want. One of my sister’s friends had 20 bridesmaids!! All in pink. It was Pepto Abismal.
It screams New Money. When maybe they’re spending more than they can afford. No dumb extra costs for me. I’ll pony up in good food and good wine instead. Good music. That tends to suck at weddings.

All I care about for my wedding is my dress and the CAKE!! I’m so excited for that cake!

Amen, amen, amen.
I have the man of my dreams, I have a lovely-ass dress, I’m ready to walk down that damn aisle, thank you very much.
“I’ll pony up in good food and good wine instead. Good music.” = MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.
We’re tying the knot in a pretty movie theatre, paying for 2 drinks per person, they can pay their own way after that. We’re keeping it to just a few hours, with options to “after party” for FREE at the hotel nearby (keeps costs lower….people are happy to bring their own gear to a hotel if they want food/drinks, whatever).
I want to walk down that aisle, pledge forever to my Mr Wonderful, toss back some bubbly, boogie with some friends, and head off on a RIGHTEOUS HONEYMOON. That’s worth the $$$. Bombay and Jameson for the drunks who can’t handle their free booze is NOT on the menu of ways we want to blow our cash.

Ladies, I got married barefoot on the beach where we had our first date (and where we got engaged), in a GORGEOUS fitted, heavily beaded (pearls) vanilla cream-coloured halter wedding dress slit up to THERE in the back, surrounded by my parents, my two children, and three close friends (and anyone else on that particular strand of beach). Our pastor officiated, no one but those who attended knew, and we had an intimate little reception at my parents’ afterward.
It was GLORIOUS!!

I’m with you. Give me a simple, elegant dress and ring, good food and music, in a beautiful rustic setting and I’m set. I may have to have bridesmaids, but I won’t make them wear anything tacky. And I’ll probably let kids attend. It will add to the informal and fun atmosphere.

Yeah. It’s a good thing that what I think doesn’t matter because in spite of myself (for realsies, not just to be snotty in scoffing) but I just couldn’t get there. I’m sure some of it is a bias on my part. Love Mr. Show and love Arrested Development, but whenever he’s not acting he makes my skin crawl with the whole ‘We all know that I’m better than you, so don’t forget it lest you curry the wrath of my smugness and belittling revolution.’ I guess she’s the The New Class equivalent of that.

Um – isn’t anyone picking up on the fact that they are 20 years apart. Imagine if this was the bride that was 49 and the groom that was 29. Everyone would be going crazy on here. Why the double standard? This is way to much of an age difference. He could easily have kids her age (does he?) This wedding was tacky to the extreme.
