Congrats are in order forAllen Leechfor his SAG Award nomination — and his wedding three weeks ago!
“I approached Jessica, who at the time, I think you were dancing with the girls fromOrange Is the New Black, and I saw you dancing,” Leech recalled to PEOPLE’s Jeremy Parsons.
“A friend of mine, Tom, we were about to leave the party and being Irish and having two rubber arms, he said, ‘Do you want one more drink?,’ ” theDownton Abbeyalum continued. “And I said, ‘Yeah, okay,’ went in, ordered, turned around, saw this vision in a velvet dress and said, ‘Tommy, I’m going to dance with that girl.’ ”
“Then we got married three weeks ago,” said Herman, who’s acted inAmerican Crime StoryandModern Family.
According toHELLO!, the couple tied the knot on Jan. 5. Despite hoping for beautiful weather, the Irish actor said he felt more at home that day thanks to the rain.
“It ended up being something quite different,” he told the magazine. “When you get married in California you expect sunshine, but a little bit of Ireland blew over on the day and we had some heavy rain.”
