.had a few people mention to us that if we're spending all this time and effort getting all of you guys together in such a beautiful restaurant, that we might as well just get the deed done tonight," Polley said in the video to her guests. "If you give me like 20 minutes to change my dress, we can probably make that work.
" The pair got married in late April, Polley told , after nearly a year of enjoying their engagement. "We didn't really know what we wanted to do when we got engaged, but we knew that we didn't want it to be too traditional," she said. "We.
..had the idea and never really looked back.
" The idea looked exactly like the execution. Polley said that she and her now-husband decided to throw an engagement party and ask their guests during the welcome speech if they'd "mind" being present for their wedding. "It ended up being more special than we could've ever imagined.
It was the best day ever," she said. "Seeing everyone's when we mentioned that we were going to get married in 20 minute.
