Dinklage, who is currently promoting his latest film "Roofman," spoke about the unique circumstances of their wedding. "I was going there for a charity event. And then while we were there, we just decided to do it. It was a bit lonely. We got a VHS videocassette of the wedding that no one will ever see, that we've buried in a box deep beneath the earth's core."
