How did everyone find out their hosts were cooking up more than ribs? From a 10-minute video they watched over cocktails featuring the couple talking cute about each other and ending with James – a lover of pit bulls and pet sharks and the guns he occasionally uses to shoot at cars on his show
Monster Garage – sharing their joyous news. As he put it, "We've been engaged since October, suckers!"
And so as the sun set and lanterns sparkled from the branches of a huge old tree overhead, 270 delighted suckers plopped down on horse blankets and hay bales in a grove on a private estate 38 miles from Santa Barbara and watched as Sandy and Jesse wed. "She was gorgeous. He was beautiful. They were very happy," says Bullock's sister Gesine Bullock-Prado. "It was nice for it all to finally happen."
The key word in that sentence: Finally. Never one to nurse childhood fantasies about cascading flowers and a puffy white gown, Bullock until recently found the very idea of marriage off-putting.
