"Save for the Wilson-Phillips reunion in Bridesmaids, I&amp;#x27;m going to go on record and say that I think 1991&amp;#x27;s Father of the Bride was&amp;amp;#8212;and is&amp;amp;#8212;the greatest wedding movie of all time. And yet, after all this time, I still hadn&amp;#x27;t met or interviewed Kimberly Williams-Paisley. That is, this weekend at the Open Hearts Foundation Gala. And then all bets were off. The actress, looking gorgeous in a hot pink Monique Lhuillier design, was on hand to receive the Open Hearts award for her remarkable courage as an advocate for patients and families dealing with the affects of dementia (Williams-Paisley&amp;#x27;s mother has the disease). Currently starring on Two and a Half Men and having wrapped her run as Teddy&amp;#x27;s crazy wife on Nashville earlier in the year (&amp;quot;As they were pouring make-believe blood on me, I kept saying, &amp;#x27;Are you sure you want to do this?&amp;#x27; It was hilarious. They&amp;#x27;re like, &amp;#x27;Get down on the ground!&amp;#x27;&amp;quot;), Williams was game to reminisce with me about her star-turning role from 23 (!) years ago. Glamour: How often do you actually watch Father of the Bride? Kimberly Williams-Paisley: Not too often, actually, but I hear a lot about it from people still. That&amp;amp;#8217;s a movie that recycles! It&amp;amp;#8217;s on every holiday, but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think I&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen it since I got engaged, which was about 12 years ago. At that time, I remember telling my parents, &amp;quot;You guys need to see this movie because I really relate to it now and you guys need to chill out!&amp;quot; Glamour: So, Glamour Do or Don&amp;#x27;t: wearing sneakers to your wedding? Kimberly: Totally! I even did it! I wore sneakers with the heels. It was great. Down the aisle, I wore heels, but then the rest of it I wore sneakers with the heels. It makes perfect sense to wear sneakers because it&amp;#x27;s such a long night. The least I could do was wear comfortable shoes because you&amp;amp;#8217;re so busy talking to everybody and dancing, you need them! Glamour: That is the best thing ever. By the way, I love how every time I interview the cast of Scandal, specifically Katie Lowes, she will say, &amp;quot;I can&amp;#x27;t believe I&amp;#x27;m working with Brian McKenzie!&amp;quot; Have you watched Scandal now that George Newbern is on it? Kimberly: I haven&amp;amp;#8217;t, but I&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen George, and he was talking to me about it, and [I know] he&amp;amp;#8217;s playing this bad guy. Like a crazy guy. But that&amp;amp;#8217;s hilarious. I&amp;amp;#8217;m so happy for him. Glamour: Going back to Father of the Bride, what moments stand out to you most? Kimberly: George was my saving grace because it was this huge Hollywood movie, and I was kind of intimidated by Steve Martin and Diane Keaton even though they were fantastic to me. I mean, Steve really took me under his wing and showed me the ropes and explained what they were doing. He was so nice. And Diane was just hysterical. But George was my partner in crime. It was terrifying and wonderful at the same time. The event on Saturday&amp;amp;#8212;held at the gorgeous home of Jane Seymour and James Keach (the separated couple started the Open Hearts Foundation)&amp;amp;#8212;honored three other individuals, each with an inspiring story that exemplifies the Open Hearts philosophy. I wish all of you could have been there to have seen U.S. Army Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Travis Mills. Travis is one of five quadruple amputees in the United States, and his sense of humor in the face of such devastation is a lesson for all of us. If you have less than four minutes, I&amp;#x27;d love for you all to see this video about him. It&amp;#x27;s exceptional. Two of the evening&amp;#x27;s other honorees were Aaron Paul&amp;#x27;s wife, Lauren Parsekian-Paul and Molly Thompson, cofounders of the Kind Campaign. Julianne Hough was on hand to present her two good friends with the award for their involvement and creation of the Kind Campaign. Both Lauren and Molly were bullied incessantly growing up and the life-defining experience led them to create a program in schools to help eradicate such behavior. &amp;quot;What is hard about this issue is that there is not a specific thing or reason or factor why this takes place,&amp;quot; said Molly. &amp;quot;We&amp;amp;#8217;ve found that the insecurities that every female has&amp;amp;#8212;which is what should be uniting us&amp;amp;#8212;is what&amp;amp;#8217;s tearing us apart.&amp;quot; Lauren added that their goal is to not only get young girls to apologize to one another but also explain that &amp;quot;their school experience is not their entire story. But when you&amp;amp;#8217;re walking those school hallways, it&amp;amp;#8217;s hard to see outside of that bubble. That isn&amp;amp;#8217;t it for you. It does get better.&amp;quot; Lauren&amp;#x27;s wife, Aaron, was beaming as his wife walked the red carpet. &amp;quot;My wife inspires me more and more every day,&amp;quot; Aaron told me. &amp;quot;She&amp;#x27;s given her entire beautiful being to bringing kindness into school hallways and changing young girls lives. I&amp;#x27;m just so, so proud.&amp;quot; Aaron and Lauren are coming up on their one-year anniversary later this month, and Aaron joked with me that the event (with special musical guest Cheap Trick) was really their secret anniversary party. &amp;quot;Technically this is what this event is all about. It&amp;#x27;s our anniversary party celebrating Cheap Trick and the Kind Campaign!&amp;quot; Aaron, who is a huge Cheap Trick fan (and how could you not be considering hits like &amp;quot;The Flame&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I Want You to Want Me&amp;quot;), said that the band was going to send him a personal T-shirt after finding out his was stolen years ago. Check out the band performing at the gala, and you might catch a glimpse of Aaron and Lauren (and some other familiar faces)! Yes, that was Julianne Hough and her gorgeous boyfriend, hockey player Brooks Laich, dancing to &amp;quot;I Want You to Want Me.&amp;quot; See who you can spot dancing to &amp;quot;The Flame&amp;quot; in the video below: Check out the gorgeous scene as cocktail hour got under way. Julianne Hough said it best: &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s not every day that I come to Malibu, and it&amp;#x27;s not every day that I come to a house as beautiful as this!&amp;quot; Is Father of the Bride your favorite wedding movie?
