Jamie Lee Curtis on Sunday officiated at a cosplay wedding ceremony for her daughter, Ruby Guest, and bride Kynthia.
"WIFE IS SWEET!" wrote the "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "Halloween" movie-franchise star, 63, on Instagram and Facebook. "Ruby and Kynthia. 5/29/2022."
In a photo Curtis stands between the smiling couple, who are adorned in costumes evoking video games. Ruby is dressed as Sienna Contiello, commonly called Squigly, from Autumn Games' "Skullgirls Encore," while Kynthia is attired as Elphelt Valentine, from one of Arc System Works' "Guilty Gear" series of games. Curtis wears the relatively staid outfit of Lady Jaina Proudmoore from Blizzard Entertainment's "World of Warcraft."
She posted the same image on Twitter, captioning it, "NEWLYWEDS! #WIFEISSWEET."
In a follow-up post showing the couple in reverse as they face guests, some of them similarly in cosplay outfits, Curtis wrote, "YES THEY DO AND DID! MARRIED!”
A final Instagram post bears two photos: Curtis wearing a "Wife Is Sweet" commemorative wedding T-shirt; and a butcher knife with food residue, lying on a table beside a rainbow-colored restroom marker. "YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!" Curtis wrote. "The ONLY thing left over at the end of this entire BEAUTIFUL wedding, after everything was taken away was this … BUTCHER KNIFE they cut the tiramisu wedding cake with!" A butcher knife is an iconic image from the "Halloween" movies. Underscoring this, she added a plug for "Halloween Kills" (2021), which comes to home media in October.
"My wedding day is finally here I am both excited and scared. Wish me luck everyone," tweeted Ruby Guest, one of two adoptive children of Curtis and her husband of 37 years, actor-filmmaker Christopher Guest. Reposting the photo of Curtis with the couple, she added, "My mom is awesome and this is beautiful. I am still getting used to everything."
Curtis had said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in March that the couple would marry in her and Christopher Guest's backyard, as had their elder daughter, Annie, 35.
Last year Curtis had revealed, with permission, that Ruby Guest, adopted as an infant in 1996, is transgender. Ruby's Twitter header begins, "Trans and proud."
