A day before the wedding, Schumer wrapped her untitled mother-daughter comedy with Goldie Hawn in Hawaii. "That's a wrap. Can't express how grateful I am that @officialgoldiehawn said yes," she wrote on Instagram. The feeling was mutual, as Hawn shared an Instagram photo of her own. "Wrapped our film tonight...so emotional," she wrote. "Another light in my life #neverwillsaygoodbye #friendsforever."

Though Schumer's movie may have wrapped, she shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to being nominated for five Emmys (three for Inside Amy Schumer, one for Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo and one for Saturday Night Live), she'll publish her debut memoir, Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, Tuesday. Schumer spoke about writing the book during her last week on set, telling The Los Angeles Times she kept journals for nine years, starting at age 13. "Like every day was accounted for. What happened. How I felt about it. So ''ve been writing this book since I was 13 and really working on it for four years." The process was "beyond therapeutic," she told the newspaper. "It was really painful and humiliating and empowering. It was really exciting. I made a promise to be honest and authentic. It definitely doesn't paint me in the best light all the time. There's no question it's going to come with some controversy."
