As an artist, it is, no doubt, a wonderful feeling to have people connect with your craft in the way that fans did with Breaking Bad. There is, however, a dark side to that devotion, one which Aaron Paul became all too familiar with on the day of his wedding.
Paul married Lauren Parsekian on May 26, 2013, during the break between parts one and two of Breaking Bad’s final season. The couple had a Parisian carnival-themed wedding in Malibu. There were mimes, stilt walkers, and several total strangers who, in the French tradition, were there to do more than eat cake.
“We had three people crash our wedding; we didn’t know it happened until we started looking through photos of our wedding and we saw these three strangers,” Paul revealed during a stop by The Late Late Show With James Corden on Monday night. “We had a 1920s Parisian carnival wedding and these people were just in basic wedding attire, and they just stood out like a sore thumb.”
Said strangers weren’t wearing Breaking Bad’s trademark hazmat suits either, so there’s really no way to know for sure that they were because of their love for Breaking Bad. Perhaps they were really big fans of Big Love. But we can assume.
“This one girl almost caught Lauren’s bouquet,” Paul said. “She dove for it — violently dove. You could tell on her face that she was going to get it. But she didn’t get it, she was close.”
Paul added that he still doesn’t know who the wedding crashers were, and that they’ve never reached out to him. But girls, if you’re reading this, keep it that way lest you’d like to be served with a restraining order.
