“I realized I could propose right before, and then we'd have the weekend there to celebrate,”

“I found a ring, and they shipped it to me, and it was as if someone had handed me a ball of fire and said, "Here, tend to this.”

The duo celebrated their bachelorette party with 13 of her closest friend who also included her co-stars Danielle Brooks and Uzo Aduba at the Miami club E11EVEN.
