Ugly Betty actress Ashley Jensen and long-time fiance writer Terrence Beesley eloped last Monday in Big Sur, California.

“It was in a forest,” the thirty-seven year old native-born Scot says of the private wedding. A minister officiated and the couple’s dog, Barney, was ring bearer. “It was about our marriage. We didn’t want to be worried about napkins, you know? It was about us.”

“I fortunately had an episode off…I didn’t have to go to work, I thought … let’s seize the moment.”
