The actress also touched upon her wedding attire, noting that she wore her wedding dress for the first time 16 years after getting married. She explained her reluctance for a traditional vow renewal ceremony, saying, "I thought about doing a 're-wedding' back then, but now it feels bothersome. It's awkward for just the two of us. We're always with the children."
