Speaking to Extra's Mario Lopez on the red carpet at Sunday night's Oscars, Reese shared her excitement at her friend's upcoming big day, and said happily that she is part of the planning committee for the special event. "We've already talked about the wedding, we have a lot of plans," she said. "I gotta help, I've gotta be there for my girl! So I'm excited."
The Oscar-winning actress and Modern Family star had plenty of time to become close friends when they co-starred on upcoming comedy Hot Pursuit, which is slated for a May release, and the pair clearly hit it off.
