October 2005--After an eight-year courtship, actress Melissa McCarthy (chef Sookie St. James to fans of The WB's "Gilmore Girls") pledged her love to fellow actor Ben Falcone, better known as Howard to viewers of the NBC "Friends" spinoff, "Joey." The October 8, 2005 ceremony was held at the Oviatt Penthouse in Los Angeles.

Referred to in its day as "a castle in the air," the Oviatt Penthouse is an Art Deco masterpiece which once played host to the glitterati of Hollywood's Golden Era, such as Errol Flynn and Howard Hughes. Today couples can captured a bit of Tinseltown magic with nuptials conducted either on the rooftop or in the parlor, which is decorated with Lalique chandeliers.
