Not only did the reception capture their mutual love for the theater, but just like her fashionable Sex and the City character, Sarah went against tradition with her wedding gown. Since this year marks their 20-year wedding anniversary, look back at the most interesting details about their big day.

Sarah Didn't Wear White

Just like her Sex and the City character, Sarah made a major fashion statement on her wedding day: she wore black. While her ruffled black Morgane Le Fay dress has become iconic over the years, she actually regrets it. If she had the chance to do it over, she says she'd "wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress."
