The wedding was on Richards’ mind at the premiere of her new horror movieToyBox, in which Richards stars alongsideMischa Barton, 32. Speaking withEntertainment Tonight, Richards praised her wedding planner.
“If we didn’t have Mindy Weiss, we would not have been able to do it. It would’ve been, like, in our garage probably,” she told the outlet, laughing. “She did a beautiful job and it was really sweet. It was very close family and friends, and everyone said that it looked like it had been planned for months.”

“I didn’t want to do a traditional wedding dress,” Richards said. “I wore a traditional dress for my first wedding, so I wanted something different this time.”
She continued: “My dress was actually a romper, which was perfect since we left the reception on Aaron’s motorcycle. I didn’t take the tulle skirt off until I got on his bike. I loved the skirt so much I wore it the entire evening.”
