After four years together, “Theater Camp” co-stars Ben Platt and Noah Galvin got married over Labor Day weekend
Congratulations to busy stage, television and film actors Ben Platt (Being Evan Hanson, Pitch Perfect, The Politician) and Noah Galvin (The Real O’Neals, The Good Doctor, Booksmart) who got married over the weekend.
They are one talented pair!
Vogue reports:
The wedding ceremony took place on Sunday, and after an extended cocktail hour in the garden of Pioneer Works, everyone was invited inside to gather around the chuppah. “We wanted everyone standing and crowded around informally, like a big hug,” Ben says. The chuppah was made of marigold fabric, and the dance floor the couple stood upon—and then later danced upon—was a giant rendering of an abstract painting created by Noah’s father, Austin Galvin, who passed last year. Ben’s parents and Noah’s mom escorted them through the crowd of friends and family, while their combined siblings sang a beautiful rendition of the Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody.”
Ben’s longtime Rabbi, David Wolpe, officiated the ceremony. In the Jewish tradition, there are seven blessings that signify marriage, and the couple was honored by different friends and family with the Hebrew blessings, as well as English interpretations of each. The ceremony ended with a surprise for the couple: Their moms sang a beautiful duet of a classic Jewish wedding song. “And then, we both stepped on glasses,” Noah says. “And they broke, thank god!”
“We were overwhelmed with love, sweaty, and sobbing most of the time,” Ben admits. “We took our coats off halfway through—we were emotionally overheated.”
“We couldn’t have asked for anything more,” Noah says. “We are still floating. And mostly we’re happy we get to keep hanging out forever.”
“Our greatest hope was to give everyone a joyful, low-stress weekend full of warmth and a window into our relationship and the life that we are building,” adds Ben. “And we wanted the dancing to go off. We feel that all missions were accomplished!”
