Heather and Caroline: A Love Story...

The Advocate' s Anne Stockwell caught up with Heather Matarazzo and Caroline Murphy at a same-sex wedding expo and they talked about how their romance got started, why tuxes on women are sexy, and why both partners should get to propose.

On their meeting:
Caroline: "I went outside to smoke a cigarette, and she came out, and it was like this very across-the-room, time stopped -- "

"It was soul-to-soul recognition," Heather added. "I don't think I'll ever be able to explain it, but it's fun to try. It was like my soul knew before my thinking self realized what was going on."

Caroline resumed, "And I was looking at [Heather's recurring character] Stacy Merkin from The L Word. And I was like really upset at some of the choices that that character had made, in terms of upsetting the veterinarian woman. So I was thinking, Damn you, Stacy Merkin! And Heather came up to me and said, 'Do I know you from somewhere?' And I said [gruffly], 'Possible. Not likely.' And I walked off! And I took a few steps away and went, 'What did I just do?'"
