Ana Ortiz Dishes on Her Wedding

Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz arrived at Escada's gala store opening in Beverly Hills last night, honoring the desiger by wearing a very low-cut, shimmering silver dress from the label. Flipping her extra-long ponytail, she spoke enthusiastically to TV Guide about her upcoming wedding. Ortiz, who plays Betty's sister Hilda on the ABC dramedy, tells TV Guide that plans for her June marriage to musician Noah Lebenzon are going extremely well. Since the lovebirds are tying the knot in Puerto Rico, the theme of the wedding is "tropical." Of the location, she said, "We're kicking off our life together in paradise." Ortiz added that "the vows are going to be traditional and I'm wearing a traditional dress." However, she didn't stick with every tradition: When Ortiz's father wanted to roast a pig in accordance with Puerto Rican custom, her mother screamed, "We are not doing that!" and the idea was promptly nixed. —Reporting by Paula Paige
