Bill Bellamyand his wife,Kristen, knew just where to go after their 2001 wedding ceremony at the Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica.
Reflecting on his special day, the comedian, now 57, reveals to PEOPLE that the couple left the ceremony “right after we said our vows.”
“We escaped all of our families and guests to this rooftop to take in the sunset and plant new seeds,” Bellamy says. “To grab a moment to collect our thoughts on all that had just transpired.”

“Sometimes life will bless you with an opportunity — it’s what we do with the opportunity that is the blessing,” he added.
Bellamy revealed to PEOPLE in 2021 that he does have some regrets in his career — specifically, not trademarking “booty call” when he had the chance.
Speaking on an episode ofPEOPLE in the ’90s, Bellamy told co-hosts Andrea Lavinthal and Jason Sheeler that he wished he thought ahead about a trademark.

As Bellamy explained, “the phrase was so easy,” which is why he felt it caught on and became what it is today. “When I was doing it in the clubs, people started smiling, because they were like, ‘That’s what it is,'” he said.
Bellamy also noted that making a “booty call” used to mean one would have to dial the phone, something that has changed in the era of dating apps. “Now they got Tinder, they’re cheating. But back in the day you had to really make the call,” he said. “Now you can swipe left, swipe right.”
