Kathy Griffin and ex Randy Bick announced their engagement in a hilarious video on New Year’s Eve 2019 — andtied the knot(with none other than comedy legend Lily Tomlin officiating) just a few hours later.

“What was supposed to be a shallow, ‘toot it and boot it’ one-night stand has grown and flourished into something far more meaningful,” said theGrace and Frankiestar as she began the ceremony. “They stayed together. Then they couldn’t stay away from one another.”

“We are in love and we cannot stop laughing,” Griffin wrote on social media afterward. In addition to the sweet ceremony, her wedding dress held special significance for the couple — it was the outfit she wore for their first date, back in 2011.
