Caroline Murphy remembers what it was like to first meet Heather Matarazzo, and what she told her mother that day. She called up her mother and said “Mom, I just met my wife.” Murphy and actress heather Matarazzo are planning on getting married now that New York has legalized same-sex marriage in that state. Matarazzo has played characters like Dawn Weiner in “Welcome to the Dollhouse” and Sadie Atkins in the upcoming “Manson Girls.” Still, she and Murphy are not only planning to get married, but to start a family.

Matarazzo has said that she sees herself and Murphy as complete beings who came together to help one another grow. She stated “I don’t believe that I’ve found my other half. That would mean I was thinking of myself as incomplete.” She also said “My eyes and spirit have opened up since I found someone that I get to share my life with.”

Still, they did not want to get married this past Sunday. Murphy said “I always wanted a wedding, not a trip to City Hall.” The couple have begun to plan their dream wedding for this fall or spring surrounded by friends and family- which given their large families would be about 200 guests. Matarazzo wants to wear a simple, off-white dress but hasn’t found the one she likes yet saying “When I see it I will just know.” Murphy, who is working on her first album, is planning on wearing a white, sexy pants suit.

The couple has been engaged for three years, and were planning on marrying in California, but Prop 8 put an end to that. Of course, further heart ache came when they returned to New York and met with former governor David Patterson. According to Murphy “He led us to believe gay marriage would be legal last September, and he even agreed to marry us. We started planning on that, and that went away.”

They are planning on starting a family. According to Matarazzo “Wee’ve always talked that Caroline would have a child first, and then I will go.” After that, the couple plans on adopting.
