Casey Wilson: 'Yes, I slept with my boss'

It's true.

Casey Wilson slept with her boss -- but then went on to marry him.

In a hilarious essay for Cosmopolitan magazine, the Marry Me star talks about how she really, really wanted to date David Caspe, but at the time she was starring in his show Happy Endings. And he wasn't having it.

"David was cute and funny and above all else, kind," she writes. "I was head over heels for him, but I think we're all in agreement that sleeping with your boss isn't a great color on anyone. It's a horrible idea."

"Finally, one drunken night he turned to me and said, 'If we didn't work together we could French kiss,'" she continues. "I thought he was kidding and leaned on in (Sheryl Sandberg would be so proud) but he was dead serious. He had been given a stern mandate to 'never date the actresses.' And while those are wise words for everyone to live by, I was crushed. Where was this 'casting couch' I had been so stringently warned about?! But he was not having it. Which made me like and respect him even more."

"Maddeningly enough, I had to wait for David to be ready. ...I'll never forget the romantic night over dinner with coworkers at Benihana when David turned to me and said he was finally ready to give it a try. At this point we had over a year of friendship under our belts and the mutual respect that comes from working together on our sides. We started dating and a year-and-a-half later, we were engaged."

"Sleeping with your boss or coworker is a huge risk. It's one of those things that's always wrong unless it turns out right. It was a roll of the dice, but so is love. And if you think you have a chance at real love, I say roll 'em. (But let's be honest — I'm the one on camera, so had anything gone south with us, David would have been the one who got fired.) So, yes. I slept with my boss. But I also married him. So that makes me his boss. Destiny fulfilled."

The couple tied the knot in May. Oh, and he's the writer of Marry Me. A happy ending. (Get it??)
