Casey Wilson is a rule breaker. At least, when it comes to love.

The 33-year-old star of NBC sitcom "Marry Me" recently wrote an essay for Cosmopolitan in which she reveals that she once dated her boss. And the result was, well, you'll see.

"I have always been attracted to men with "power," despite the fact that the guys I usually dated were by turns: a poet, a magician named Ashley, and a dog walker," wrote Wilson. "This all changed when I was cast as Penny Hartz on an ABC sitcom called Happy Endings and I met the show's creator and boss, David Caspe."

"David was cute and funny and above all else, kind," she continued. "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. A cry for help at best that usually results in a drunken office party debacle that gets retold years after you've been sent home clutching your belongings in a paper bag." 

"Finally, one drunken night he turned to me and said, 'If we didn't work together we could French kiss,'" reveals Wilson. "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," she explained. "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." 

Wilson and Caspe tied the knot in May in Ojai, California.

Their relationship was also the inspiration for their new television project, "Marry Me." Wilson stars in the comedy series while Caspe is the writer.

"Sleeping with your boss or coworker is a huge risk," confessed Wilson. "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.

"So, yes. I slept with my boss," she declared. "But I also married him. So that makes me his boss. Destiny fulfilled."
