Well, we knew it was happening this weekend, but what’s surprising is how many really specific details were leaked. Reese Witherspoon wed her CAA-agent fiancé Jim Toth yesterday in California, on her Ojai ranch. The wedding date “somehow” got leaked a few weeks ago, and now both Us Weekly and People Magazine have, like, intimate details of everything. Here’s Us Weekly’s take:
Hello there, Mr. and Mrs. Toth! Reese Witherspoon married Jim Toth early Saturday evening at her 6-acre ranch in Ojai, Calif., UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
Wearing a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier gown, the actress, 35, exchanged vows with CAA agent Toth, 40, in front of 120 family members and friends (including Renee Zellweger, and Alyssa Milano, and Tobey Maguire) in the front courtyard of the Ojai house.
Witherspoon’s best friend, Heather Rosenfield, served as matron of honor, and her kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — daughter Ava, 11, and son Deacon, 7 — took part in the ceremony. The Oscar winner’s young nieces served as flower girls.
The “Tennessee Waltz” was the processional music for Toth and the kids, while Witherspoon walked down the aisle to “Here Comes the Bride.” The 20-minute ceremony was officiated by Reverend Jimmy Bartz, founder of Thad’s church in Santa Monica, where the couple have been attending weekly Sunday services. The duo exchanged wedding bands designed by jeweler William Goldberg.
Located 90 miles north of Los Angeles, the Ojai ranch — where the star gardens and keeps horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens — has been Witherspoon’s rural escape for years.
It’s the second wedding for the actress, who divorced Phillippe, 36, back in 2007 after seven years of marriage. Shortly after ending a three-year relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, she and never-married Toth began dating in January 2010. (Although A-list firm CAA also counts Witherspoon as a client, Toth has never represented her.)
The star’s rep confirmed their engagement to Us on Dec. 28, 2010. “They are extremely happy,” the rep said.
About a week later, Witherspoon debuted her engagement bling — a 4-carat, $250,000 Ashocka cut diamond ring from William Goldberg — at a Laker’s Game.
Sources close to the newlyweds tell Us they’re the perfect match. Says one pal of Toth, who’s bonded with her kids: “He’s a very confident guy who takes care of her.”
“[Reese] really wants to be married and have that security with someone,” another insider says. “They feel like they’ve hit the jackpot in this relationship!”

People Magazine claims they’ve got the exclusive, and yet they seem to have less details (go here for People‘s coverage). Which I think means that Reese and Jim are trying to get the covers of both mags next week, right? Probably. Anyway, it sounds like a really nice, respectable, quiet wedding service and I think and hope that Reese and Jim make each other happy in the long run. They truly seem like they “fit” and Reese seems happier with Toth than she’s been in a while. Congrats to the couple! I say she’s knocked up within a year. She won’t get pregnant right away, in my opinion, but it will happen by the end of this year, I think.

I’d like to raid her shoe closet!
Hollywood famewhores united. A match made on Sunset and Vine.
Isn’t 6 acres a bit small to be called a “ranch”?
flourpot – she gives shoes to her friends too! She said something about it in an interview a couple of years ago.
Meanwhile, Ryan Phillippe, is trying to figure out how to dig himself out of his hole.
I can’t decided whether he is good looking or not, he just looks different to me in each angle of photos. I think we can say that she is probably over the pretty boy phase.
Love her. she is a class act all the way. Bless them both!! Go Reese!!
I could be wrong, but Reese seems to be more down-to-earth and “real” than H-wood’s other leading actresses (or should I say “actors?”). She doesn’t seem to have that aura of “I’m better than..” That being said, I reside in South Carolina…a far distance and many realites removed from H-wood. I see many comments from many bloggers that seem to live in H-wood or LA. Some of you who live near or in H-wood or LA let me know, please.
He is so handsome, tons better than Ryan. She did much better the second time around in many respects. I really love this couple.
Celebs seem to do well with non-actors, I sincerely hope this marriage is long-lasting for Reese. She has already dealt with her share of douchebags.
I want to see pics of the dress. I hope one of the mags has it.
REESE and her children are SO SWEET! I wish them good luck!

Riiiight. You do know that people go into the entertainment industry to amass a certain amount of fame, right? And that certain amount of fame directly contributes to one’s earning power, right? If it meant making a cool couple of million for 8 weeks of work doing something I love, I’d be a famewhore too.
I think Reese is one of (the few) actresses that nobody can say one bad word about. She is fabulous and I hope she has found happiness 🙂
i love reese.
So happy for them both. I think she found the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with and he is good with her kids as well. They are perfect for each other…best of luck to them!
“I could be wrong, but Reese seems to be more down-to-earth and “real” than H-wood’s other leading actresses”
Nope. In H-Wood Reese is known for being a giant bitch and just being really good at putting on a sweet, Southern front. Just like Jennifer Garner.
Congratulations to them.
I think she’s really happy, but the timing of the wedding screams “promo for Water for Elephants”. That’s cynical. She could have scheduled it so she didn’t have to worry about planning it while traveling around on the promo tour.
I don’t know how you pass of Jake G. for this guy! Hope they have a happy marriage 🙂
Free promo for water for elephants. Reese is an excellent businesswoman and knows she needs this film to be a BO success. Good job Reese!
I don’t know about these ranch weddings…they seem so ranchy, I mean raunchy. It must be a southern thing.
Dated Ryan for about a year when they learned you she pregant and got married. With Jake for almost 3 years and was not interested in marrage (from her publicity end). With the agent for about a year, engaged for about 3 months. The last quote in the article says it all and I think this one is going to last longer that her first marriage. I am a cynic when it comes to the likes of her and people like Garner, this down to earth ‘real’ person, no they just know how to play the game better.
i bet ryan is eating his heart out but still buried in some slothole….what a douche!
Every time I hear about this wedding, I think of the Walker clan and Ojai Foods.
Very happy for them both and wish them the best of luck.
Yeah, it’s been reported that Reese is a type A controlling bitch. I do have to say that her words to Michelle Williams after Heath died raised my opinion of her. Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/ei72Zc
I hope she’s happy with her new husband and that they create a happy family. We all need more love in the world.
Congrats to them both, I hope it is a long and happy union.
I am very excited for them and wish them every happiness! She seems like a really amazing person.
OMG she told Michelle Williams to think how much worse it would be if Heath died and “GASP” Michelle was poor! THat would be so much worse. A fate worse than death to Reese I’m sure. Dead baby daddy is bad but nothing is worse than poverty.
His face looks like a foot.
A pregnant woman’s swollen foot, actually.
@jackie-WTF???
Being a Type A controlling bitch doesn’t sound like such a bad thing to me. I have always liked her and she has always come off as very professional. Of course I live on the other side of the country so I don’t know how she really is but a woman who knows what she wants, is responsible and a leader is 1000 times better than those loser lohan, hilton, spears types we have running around hollywood.
Of course, I am cynical enough to think this wedding was done for PR purposes, at least the leaking of details, but I can’t fault her for that since they all do it. I am just glad we don’t read reports of her drunk off her ass at some bar.
Reese has been very open about being a type A personality but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s a bitch. Getting married now could be a pr stunt but it may be the only time they had. I don’t know what her schedule is but she could be filming for he rest of the year and didn’t want to wait that long to marry.
Congrats to them both! I hope it is a long and happy marriage for them. I love Reese and hope we get to see pics of her dress.
Every time her supposed bitchiness gets mentioned, I always wonder if it’s personal or professional. She strikes me as very motivated and sure of what she wants, which some people could interpret that way. I’ve never heard anyone complain about how she treats people.
Congrats to them!
I adore Reese and wish her the best.
I think most of the negative comments here can be chocked up to the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” philosophy.
…Does it hurt that her wedding coincides with the release of her new film? -CERTAINLY NOT!
…Did she plan her wedding specifially for the purpose of promoting her new film? -I HIGHLY DOUBT IT!
As for comments about her Type A personality –Well, I’d imagine that her personality actually works to her advantage. Given the industry she is in, her personality likely helps her maintain stability in not only her life but that of her children.
Let’s look at the other holywood diverces that involve children… Britney Spears? Ashley Simpson? Cristina Aguliera? I think each of those ladies would be thrilled if the worst thing you could say about them was that they were “bitchy and controlling”
Nope. In H-Wood Reese is known for being a giant bitch and just being really good at putting on a sweet, Southern front. Just like Jennifer Garner.
************
Really? Because I have had the pleasure of having worked with both the above mentioned ladies and found them to be warm, generous of spirit, and down to earth. Is Reese demanding? Yes. Of herself. Of the production. Of the product. There’s a reason her production complany is called “Type A Productions.” But that just makes her a professional. I never saw any “bitchy” behavior. And Jen Garner… she’s one of the best and nicest.
i don’t think Reese is the fame seeker like most in Hollywood as some have already stated, she is not pushed in our face trying to sale anything but her movies, like some celebrities, no fake stories,boyfriends,products pushing,events,etc, not that she is perfect, but not phony/desperate.
He dresses really badly. Bet this doesn’t last seven years.
I can’t speak as to what sort of personality she has, but I also really wish her (& her beautiful children) the best with this new marriage.
@Jackie – I believe Reese’s point was that even though she was going through a very painful time, she’s still *very* fortunate to not be in a position where she has to worry about her financial situation.
Knowing you can continue supporting your family while you heal from the loss is something so many don’t have when a parent/spouse is lost.
Brittney I likewise thought the same
So what if Reese Witherspoon is Type A? She seems to be doing a good job of raising her kids while still making decent movies and staying out of the tabloids. And that’s about as much as we can expect from any Hollywood celebrity these days.
Congratulations to her and Jim Toth!
The lesson in this is to encourage your kids to be agents not actors.
I think I said this before on another Reese thread, but I LOVE that polka-dot dress and shoes on her. She looks like a total knockout. Reese is one of my husband’s 5 freebies.
awww nice to see someone happy!
@Liana- Can you get me a job =) You’ve met a lot of celebrities!
I don’t know about these ranch weddings…they seem so ranchy, I mean raunchy. It must be a southern thing.
More like a rich person thing. I’m also from South Carolina (the coastal region) & my husband & I got married in a Catholic Church, just like my parents & grandparents before me. The only people I know who rent out plantations for big ass wedding are rich as hell. Most average people don’t spend the time, energy or money
@ flourpot
I’d like to raid her shoe closet!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i hear ya!
while you’re doing that, i’ll be hitting her fab handbag collection! 😉
What’s it to anybody if Reese likes to be in control? She isn’t controling and a mess…she retains control to keep everything up to high standards. Hence her success. Hence the lack of trash you see about her in the tabs. Hence the fact that she’s always so put together and fabulous.
I’m always interested to see the people who want to denounce her as some kind of bitch. Jealous much?
Oh…and as far as the shoes and handbags go…HECK YES! Always so adorable! I’ll bet she has tiny feet, though.
Bodhi – she didn’t rent out a plantation – the wedding was at HER house. (And yeah, she’s rich and I’m sure it’s a beautiful “ranch”)
LOVE her – always strikes me as classy, professional and a great mom. Type A – seems like that has worked to her benefit. I think she expects the best out of herself and appreciates if everybody else had that same work ethic.
Wish them the best (still wish she and Jakey would have worked out, but, alas, looks like Jim is a better match).
Bet Ryan is jealous – maybe not that he wants Reese back, but I am sure he misses being with a real woman.
@ Fire ~ I know that she didn’t rent out a plantation. They don’t have plantations in California. The only reason I mentioned renting out plantations is because that it what a lot of rich ass people in South Carolina do. My comment was in response to FatJennyEatsCows comment about ranch wedding being a Southern thing. Ranch weddings aren’t “Southern” because we don’t have ranches here, we have plantations.
