The wedding was a significant event in queer media and politics, drawing a star-studded guest list that included Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Monica Lewinsky, and actor Josh Gad. Attendees shared joyful moments from the celebration, highlighting a lively atmosphere with dancing and a traditional chair lift during the reception. The weekend was filled with humor and entertainment, featuring a rehearsal dinner designed as a variety show, reflecting Lovett's comedic style. Lovett and Schwartz confirmed their relationship in 2024 and announced their engagement last year. Schwartz, who has been with Crooked Media since 2021, serves as the company’s chief of staff. This marks Lovett's first marriage after a previous engagement to journalist Ronan Farrow, which ended in 2023.
