Angelina Jolie sipped Bosnian rose petal juice at her wedding reception, of course

jolie1

Brangelina Wedding Coverage, Day 7. I’m not sure how I feel about all of the wedding info coming out in drips and drabs, but we finally got our hands on the print edition of People Magazine, so FINALLY I’m able to pass on all of the details about what really matters: the wedding food. YES. Here are my random thoughts as I’m going through People’s cover story:

*Shiloh wore a top hat, obviously. But did you know that Knox also wore a special hat? It looks like an old-school admiral’s hat. Like, Knox is working his very own nautical theme.

*Brad honestly didn’t see Angelina’s dress until she walked down the aisle.

*The kids wrote the vows that Brad and Angelina spoke to each other. “They asked us to make promises to each other,” Angelina says.

*The cake that Pax made was “adorably askew” and “generously frosted.” There is a photo of the cake which looks like it’s about six cakes all stacked on top of each other. Pax looked very proud of it but I swear that Maddox is giving it the side-eye.

*Vivienne and Zahara tossed the rose petals but Z was in charge of holding the petal basket, only I swear that the “basket” is just a ceramic soufflé dish. The petals were hot pink.

*Not only did Brad have a stone engraved in the chapel in honor of Marcheline Bertrand, but both Angelina and James Haven wore special pieces of jewelry that once belonged to Marcheline. Angelina wore “a little flower ring” on her index finger and James Haven wore an angel pin that he found in Marcheline’s jewelry box.

*Angelina designed Brad’s wedding band and he designed hers, all in association with Robert Procop. For the wedding, Angelina wore a pair of earrings that she already owned (I’m looking closely… they just look like simple pearls?).

*The wedding gown inspiration? Princess Fiona from Shrek. Hand to God!

*Versace tailor Luigi Massi has known Angelina for years and years and he “knows and cares for the children,” as Angelina says. He was apparently fine with adding all of the kids’ drawings on the gown and veil.

*WEDDING FOOD: “kid friendly, BBQ-style fare, washed down with award-winning Miraval rose from the couple’s vineyards and Jolie’s beverage of choice, Bosnian rose petal juice – a sweet drink made from brewed rose petals, strained and blended with simple syrup. Dessert included Pax’s cake along with several flavors of sorbet and chocolate and vanilla ice cream.”

*Brad’s parents posed for a really cute photo with Viv, Shiloh, Knox and Zahara. Both Jane and Bill wore all-black (I suppose in honor of Angelina!!).

[From People Magazine (premium)]

My new favorite detail is about the Bosnian rose petal juice. How fancy!

Last thing – Us Weekly’s sources claim that months ago, Angelina was seen “stocking up” on bridal magazines in Hollywood. Back in May, she stopped by the Daily Planet and bought up copies of Martha Stewart Weddings and other wedding/bridal mags. My theory: she just bought the magazines for Zahara and Z was the one who acted as wedding coordinator for the Jolie-Pitt children. I can picture Z with a highlighter and post-its to mark the magazine pages. Can’t you?

    I’m not a fan of rose water, only in very small quantities in a mango lassi recipe. But it’s easy to tip the scales with a bit too much, and then I am put off by it. I couldn’t imagine drinking it straight, but some people love it. I prefer to smell and look at roses, instead of consuming them.

    • Birdix says:

      I’m with you–a little goes a long way. My children love it though. It’s become a thing–we can’t find it in our hometown, so they think its only available in Paris. So they are always eager to go to Paris (which is good by me).

    • Chris says:

      There’s a heavenly rose and elderflower spritzer made by the English company Belvoir, dry and delicious. Added to rose wine, it’s ambrosia.

      • phlyfiremama says:

        Ooooh, I had an elderflower/vodka/grapefruit cocktail with a sugar rim that was one of the best cocktails I have ever had!

      • Chris says:

        Phlyfiremama
        I wonder was it made with St Germain elderflower liqueur? Deeee-lish, like sipping an English meadow.
        I keep meaning to try an apéritif I see a lot in Martha Stewart Living magazine, with the unfortunate name of Lillet. Sounds like it’s both rose and rosé mixed. Yum.

      • Gea says:

        Rose petal lemonade….heaven.. I have tried so many versions of rose sirups/waters and mostly they are or way to acidy, too sweet or lacking of rosy scent. If you are lucky to come across wild bushy smelly rose you will need large jar, water and lemon. Place the jar in the sunny windows for at least two weeks and voala. Garnish with extra lemon thinly sliced, ice and add some cactus sirup if you desire. Enjoy!

      • Yup, Me says:

        YES! Belvoir is so good! I stalked our local natural grocery until the restocked and then I had to stop myself from buying up all of the bottles.

      • Chris says:

        Yup
        Ooh and their elderflower, Muscat grape, and gooseberry cordial!
        Wonderful range altogether.
        🙂

      • DameEdna says:

        Bottlegreen do a lovely elderflower pressé which is delicious laced with St Germain liqueur. I make my own rose syrup from highly scented Delbard blooms….it’s like summer in the Cotswolds (which is the loveliest of memories).

        Chocolate mendiants studded with crystallised violets (also gorgeous in raspberry fool), orange-blossom panna cotta……..cooking with flowers can be amazingly evocative.

        PS…..I don’t really have an opinion on J-Ps but the wedding sounds typically them.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yeah, the whole edible flower thing can go away as far as I’m concerned. People didn’t eat violets for centuries. There’s a reason. They taste like violets.

      • I Choose Me says:

        I once got a box of rose flavored chocolates as a birthday gift. I appreciated the thought but I could not stand either the smell or the taste. My sisters and brother loved them though and devoured the whole box in a couple of days.

      • mimif says:

        But without orange blossom water, we wouldn’t have Ramos Fizzes, and then I’d be sober. #nobueno

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        There are exceptions to every rule, of course.

      • Lisa says:

        I once had the most DIVINE lavender creme brulee topped with a dollop of freshly whipped creme with tiny little lavender flowers.

        Let me say this…if you had tried that, you would not be saying the same thing! It was like a bite of absolute beauty, a taste of everything bouquet…soooooooo subtle and yet calmed you to your very soul.

    • LadyMTL says:

      There’s an Arabic dessert that I adore and it has rose water syrup and I love it! Yes, it does need to be used sparingly but there’s something so aromatic and exotic about the taste. Not that I’d want to drink it as a wine, but I do like the syrup.

    • SpookySpooks says:

      Bosnian rose petal juice is amazing. Amazing.

    • Reginafalange says:

      I was in SanFran on vacation and went into a Macaron shop and for some reason decided to try the rose petal one. It literally was like eating a the head of a rose. It was so overpowering. I have a very strong sense of smell and such though, so maybe that’s why it turned me off.

      • Kiddo says:

        I have a strong sense of smell too. Maybe that’s why I don’t love it either, hmm.

      • Chris says:

        I think when the rose flavour is dry and discreet, it’s magical and delicious, but balance is the key…….but even (the best) Fortnum and Mason’s rose cream chocolates are a bit much, and definitely a good way to limit one’s chocolate consumption to one per week! But it’s truly divine dark chocolate.

      • Birdix says:

        I know that place–on Hayes st! Yes one rose macaron is definitely enough.

    • Vizia says:

      I sometimes add 1/4 t of rosewater to whipped cream to serve with berries at our bonfires and end up with an empty bowl pretty quickly….more than 1/4 t would be overpowering, but that amount is pretty subtle.

      • BooBooLaRue says:

        nice, will have to try this! also add a dash to fruit salads with crushed mint. heavenly combo!

    • mimif says:

      Hovër your fingęr over thè E until you find thê fun thingiē you want to usé.

    • littlestar says:

      I used to hate rose water as well, until I tried some Afghani desserts that were flavoured with rose water. Omg yum! But yep, all you need is just a hint of rose, otherwise it is too overpowering and tastes like soap!

    • BooBooLaRue says:

      I add a dash to my homemade lemonade with agave nectar, lemon juice, water, seltzer and a tiny bit of crushed mint!

    • Malak says:

      In some countries they use rose water to flavor/perfume dishes, I guess desserts mainly, and iirc, I read that deep-fried rose petals were on the menu at dinner the evening before the new king of Spain married Letizia, the new queen.

    • Bosanka says:

      Bosnian rose petal juice i something completely different then rose-water!
      I know that because i tried both. And btw I am Bosnian.

  2. tifzlan says:

    “Princess Fiona from Shrek” i’m dying! It sounds like the kids had a really, really hands-on role in planning the wedding which is so lovely and awesome. It must have been lots of fun for them!

    • Birdix says:

      Agreed, it is sweet to see how delighted their children seem by the day, from the kiss to the cake. I love weddings (and cake!) especially when they are leisurely and relaxed and happy like this appears to be.

      • tifzlan says:

        So true. My cousin got married last month and it was a short engagement – which meant that she was Bridezilla x50 and it was so stressful for all of us. It sort of turned me off getting married altogether but when i do get married, i hope it’s as fun and relaxed as the Brangelina wedding was.

      • Pager90 says:

        I hate when Brides turn into Bridezillas, there’s no need for it.

        It’s nice Brad and Angelina were so sweet with everything. The children sound like they had a wonderful time and wow are Brad and Angelina GLOWING. These two are soooo in love.

    • Lauren says:

      I love this too! I know not everyone is crazy about the kids drawings etc but it seems like she was like, ok I’m a movie star and get to wear gorgeous gowns all the time, this day is about our family and it’s going to reflect that. I love it.

    • Nicolette says:

      Love that the kids were so involved in the wedding from the dress, to the vows to the cake! Agree with @Lauren that Angelina gets to wear beautiful couture gowns all the time, so it was lovely that she made her whole look about them. Princess Fiona. That is so great!

    • littlestar says:

      Yes, I love that their wedding was obviously about their children and making them happy.

  3. lower-case deb says:

    woke up today and found my social media outlets awash with Jolie Pitt wedding pictures.
    http://stfuturo.tumblr.com/post/96602000700

    can’t get over how poised Zahara’s posture is, and how grown up Maddox is.

    the backwall detail looks nice but seems like cast plaster to me. not sure why it bothers me because the curlicues are beautiful

    • Buckwild says:

      They all look so happy in the photos. I love weddings like this where everyone looks natural and relaxed.

    • Chris says:

      Deb
      Lovely link…..and yeah, is that cast? I was jaw-on-floor at the exquisite stucco work, but is that skill still alive?
      Amazing anyway……I can’t get enough of these pics, I love the low key luxe!
      Hurrah, another JP wedding thread to enjoy 🙂

      • MrsBPitt says:

        Love the pics…Shiloh and Knox look like they are having so much fun…love the pic of them cutting the cake and Angie is holding Viv (who is in her bare feet lol)…seems they all got the wedding they wanted!!!

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        @MrsBPitt
        She seems to hold onto her a lot. Maybe V. is a lot more sensitive and loves her mother a lot? Majority of the pics I see, Angelina is either holding her hand, or picking her up….she is the baby of the family.

      • pwal says:

        It’s strange that whenever I look at Shiloh and Knox in their hat, it reminds me of Duck Soup. Knox, with that hat with an old school/military theme reminds me of Groucho’s inexplicable uniform changes during the battle scene and Shiloh rocking that top hat reminds me of Harpo hopping on top of that lemonade cart in rolled up pants and splashing his feet in the lemonade vat.

        Those two are hilarious.

    • Andrea1 says:

      Wonderful family..

    • doofus says:

      I was hoping you could see the “Buttock Fatock” on the dress in those pics…

      …AND YOU CAN!

    • Lucretia says:

      I swear, if you look closely to the art on the dress/veil, there are the words “buttock tattoo” on there! And also, “ma famille” – sweet. Looking at pictures of the kids makes me wonder about all their dynamics, alliances, etc. Seem like great kids, and well loved.

    • Diana says:

      Thank you for sharing!!! Absolutely the most beautiful and joyful wedding I’ve ever seen captured in print! I love this family so much 🙂

      • JudyK says:

        Yes, thanks so much for that link. I love how relaxed and authentic they all are…how refreshing. I also adore this family for so many reasons.

    • black orchid, says:

      deb ,thanks a billion for that link , it was a beautiful wedding i guess , i love their kids ,they all look responsible ,adorable and so sensible from the crass of celeb of kids that we see today ,

    • Nicolette says:

      Thanks for the link. Love love love the kiss! The expressions on Shiloh and Zahara’s faces is priceless. They couldn’t be happier. The cake cutting and the staircase family shot are great too. Just love all of it.

    • Jessica says:

      @Virgilia Angie calls Vivi her shadow. She likes to be under mommy at all times. She said she played her little part in Maleficent very well because she likes being carried by mommy and following her around. It’s so precious. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/angelina-jolie-admits-thought-children-love/story?id=23621676

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      Great pics, thanks for sharing 🙂

  4. xboxsucks says:

    that seem an awesome wedding!!!
    maddox was definitely side eyeing the cake lmao my guess he ate icecream as dessert.
    congratulations

  5. Abbott says:

    Still hate the dress but love the wedding details.

    Also going to marinate in some rose petal juice. Better look like an intergalactic space angel like Dame Jolie by the end of it.

  6. MrsBPitt says:

    lol…as soon as I read “Angelina picked up wedding magazines” I immediately thought she had bought them for Z, even before reading that was your take also!

    I would love to know what the vows the kids wrote were!!

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @MrsBPitt, who wrote: “lol…as soon as I read “Angelina picked up wedding magazines” I immediately thought she had bought them for Z, even before reading that was your take also!”

      LOL! Me too! You know, this is why I can’t wrap my head around why everyone was on Angie for ‘The Leg’ in that black dress. When I saw Angie do it on staff, like she’d just remembered she was supposed to do it, I immediately thought “This has Miss Z written all over it!” I can just hear her saying “Mommy, this dress is just like the one a model wore in the last “Vogue” magazine you brought me. You have to put your hand here (on a hip) and put your leg out like this. We’ll be watching!” 🙂

      • Chris says:

        Emma
        That’s a smashing explanation! Really makes sense of it now…….what great fun they all have with each other, such a joy to observe.

  7. lilylee says:

    Vivienne is such a mama’s girl.

  8. Jen says:

    This whole thing sounds so awesome. It kind of makes me want a gaggle of kids (with, obviously, one nanny each, to handle them when they’re being insane).

  9. lisa2 says:

    It is so weird to me that some people don’t think that children have opinions about their parents being married or wanting a say in a wedding that they are a part of. When I was an Educator I would get asked so many questions from my kids.. 6-7 year old would make awesome reporters. They will ask you anything and everything. I would hear stories when they got to be in a wedding or when a new brother or sister was born.
    The questions they would ask the first time my boyfriend came to school, or when they met my mother and siblings. Children are naturally curious and they want to be heard and felt that they are a part of big events.

    So I totally believe the children had an input an it was great that their parents shared that day with them. I said on another thread that it is unusual for children to be a part of that with their parents. I think it would be a great tradition for couples to have some kind of ceremony after they are parents for their children to be a part of. It makes them see what commitment is and see their parents stand up together in front of them and say we are in it together.

    I love all the pics.. I think the wedding looked lovely and like all weddings it was what THEY wanted; as it should be and as it is for everyone that marries.

    • AMA1977 says:

      I was just thinking while looking at the photos in the link above how joyful they all look and how special it is that they’ve got these beautiful memories as a family. Our wedding happened before our kids were born, but I can imagine how excited they would be to be a part of such a big event. My almost-seven year-old loves to make a big deal out of birthdays (everyone gets balloons, lol!) and he would love to be part of something like this. Our 10 year anniversary is coming up in April…maybe we’ll have a family celebration, too. 🙂

    • Peppa says:

      It kind of makes me want to do a vow renewal /second wedding kind of thing and have my girls plan it. It would be heavily influenced by Frozen and Spider-man methinks. I think the dress is so cool, I’d love to have a blanket with my kid’s artwork on it. I also want Z’s dress in my size. You’re totally right about the influence of the children. If you want a unique and trendsetting wedding, let some kids plan it.

    • insomniac says:

      LOL — kids really would make great reporters. I was just recently interrogated by my grand-niece about why my husband and I don’t have children. My grand-niece is all of three years old. Kids pick up on a lot more than some people think.

      • pwal says:

        Three year olds are amazing in that way. Barely have the language down, but they seem so interested and engaged about the people around them. I remember my friend’s three year old son asking why I wasn’t married and when I will have kids. Once, his brother, at aged three, asked me whether I wanted to live and work on their family farm– it was a lovely way of saying that I was a part of their family.

        Little kids can be so awesome.

    • Kim1 says:

      ITA Also I think this was the perfect time with the twins being six rather than four or five .

  10. Toe says:

    That 3D wall in the pictures looks awesome. Im happy for Brad that he found true love. I thought I would be the one, oh well.

    • Andrea1 says:

      Hahahaha you’re not alone on that! 🙂 😉

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @ Toe, who wrote: “That 3D wall in the pictures looks awesome. Im happy for Brad that he found true love. I thought I would be the one, oh well.”

      Awww. Don’t let @MrsBPitt hear you say that! 🙂

  11. tila says:

    ‘The cake was generously frosted’ Pax knows what’s up.

  12. Toot says:

    I love that cake picture with the family.
    http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/10655129_333029916868825_920618717_n.jpg
    It shows Angelina is much stronger than some love to go on about. She’s holding Vivienne (a six year old) with one arm while helping Brad cut the cake.

    • mwn15 says:

      Excellent point…I recall she carried Pax while pregnant with the twins. Angie has always been very strong, which gets all those who keep up the “too skinny” narrative SO ANGRY. I think Angie is still wearing her heels and, Viv is not a tiny thing… I’ll bet she is in a top height percentile…VERY long legs & arms, just like her Mama!

    • L says:

      I think she holds them for photo ops. I recall several photos where she is carrying children who are much too big to be carried.

  13. I Choose Me says:

    Brad and Angelina really complement each other and they seem to have a great family dynamic with their kids. May their love last. Viva la Jolie-Pitts!

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @I Choose Me, who wrote: “Brad and Angelina really complement each other and they seem to have a great family dynamic with their kids. May their love last. Viva la Jolie-Pitts! ”

      Agreed, and well said! 🙂

  14. The Original Mia says:

    In a few years, Pax cakes will be all the rage in Hollywood. People better recognize a future award winning cake maker when they see one.

    I’m loving the pictures. The kids did a great job planning the wedding (yes, Zahara was the wedding coordinator). And the dress being Fiona’s is just perfect.

  15. Elizabeth says:

    Lovely pics..such a lovely family. I was reading about Brad’s sister and brother and they too have been involved in impressive charity work. I always thought Brad was so lucky to find Angie..but she is so lucky to find him and his stable family. Lovely kids too
    & So Shiloh did drop the ring! http://33.media.tumblr.com/9256c31718ba09c8ea5970fcce7fefad/tumblr_nbd57rC77R1rumsbyo7_1280.jpg
    What an absolutely lovely wedding.. A simple but happy wedding is all I have ever wanted too but coming from an Indian family it will be a struggle….

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Elizabeth–I read that his sister got involved with/started an Ethiopian charity (as well as adopted two Ethiopian children) after Brad introduced them to Angelina and the two older kids–right after she adopted Zahara.

      And I remember Angelina did an interview shortly after she became pregnant w/Shiloh, where she talked about adoption—she was asked about people who look at their family, and see that it it isn’t different (from having biological children), and Angelina laughed and said that ‘they’ had just found out that a few of their friends were adopting–basically because they saw their family, and how there wasn’t any difference between the biological and adopted kids.

      So ironic that one of those ‘friends’ was Brad’s sister. And she could’ve bragged–basically letting the world know that she and Brad’s family were cool with each other (in 2006, lol), and instead she did as she always did.

      Here is the link to the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY2juj2EUC8

  16. Frida_K says:

    Yes, I am a Brangeloonie.

    These pictures make me so happy. My heart is just singing with joy as I look at them.

    🙂

  17. GiGi says:

    Love them! Love the pics – it’s all just lovely.

    We used to eat those little rose & violet flavored candies that came in a little round tin… does anyone remember those?

    But really, my big takeaway from this is: how do they keep their gravel patio so free of weeds? We have a large one and some years it looks great and other years it’s like weed heaven. I need their weed secrets, lol!

    • Chris says:

      Oh yes! They’re called cachous, aren’t they? Wee chalky things, the violet ones very much like loo freshener. 🙁
      There’s a big vogue in the UK for olde-worlde sweet shoppes now, and they are full of dinky, pretty little tins like those you have in mind.

      • GiGi says:

        I thought they were Vosgiennes, but I looked it up.. they’re Anis de Flavigny… oval tins!

      • Chris says:

        Gigi
        Indeed, there are many brands and flavours…..cachou’s just the sorta general/overall name, for breath fresheners The ones in oval tins are extra pretty. I can picture a pale lavender lid with a frail violet embossed and carefully painted on it…..and they are cheap as chips. Damn, now I want a few tins myself.
        🙂

    • Esmom says:

      GiGi, I think the answer is hired help. I was vacuuming earlier in my usual vacuum-induced rage, thinking about how one nice perk of celebrity/money is never having to clean your house again!

      And yes I remember that candy, my grandmothers used to get it. One of them also drank rose hip tea, which I thought was gross.

      • Chris says:

        Esmom
        Have you tried rosehip tea as an adult, since? (You know how our palates alter) I drink it with gusto, liking the dry savour, but I reckon I subconsciously just like devouring rose…..some kind of homeopathic belief that it’s edible beauty! (After all, truly fab skincare contains rose hips, petals, and oil, so I can hope.)

      • Esmom says:

        Chris, no I have not, I’ve had an aversion since my childhood, and I am a huge tea drinker. We have some wild roses nearby, love the fragrance and the “hips” that are left after the bloom, but I still can’t bring myself to drink it. But your comment makes me think I should finally give it a try. My grandmother (both of them actually) really believed in homeopathic remedies and both lived to ripe old ages.

      • Janet says:

        My son’s pediatrician prescribed rose hip tea for him when he was three years old and has a terrible case of bronchitis. It’s loaded with vitamin C and delicious with honey in it.

  18. BlueJay says:

    Is there anything about this wedding that we don’t know? So D list to sell your wedding pictures to People. Right up there is Kim K.

    • Monica says:

      Aww you mad? Yes because selling wedding pics which celebs have been doing the past 35 years is the same as giving every detail about your wedding beforehand, profiting millions from the wedding, and showing it on national tv. It’s definitely the same thing.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        I’m not getting how this is too much info either. It may seem like it, because they’ve (PEOPLE and Hello) have been releasing info SLOWLY.

        But I’m not seeing how it’s TMI by saying that their kids helped write the vows. How is that any different than saying ‘We wrote our own vows.”?

        We saw who designed the dress. And Donatella released a statement/corroborated with an article/interview on her own–that wasn’t them.

        We were given a brief description of what the main players were wearing i.e. the bride, groom, and kids–their own family, not a play by play of what the other guests were wearing too. And their roles in the wedding.

        Given a description of the food and venue (BBQ and Mirval’s chapel), and there was a brag about how their kid made the wedding cake. I would’ve bragged too.

        And then there was a mention of her mother and the tribute Brad had made for her–because I’m sure Angelina was thinking of her that day, and how she wished she’d lived to see it. That’s about it.

        The only thing I was surprised about the wedding photos was that they were candids, and not posed (for a magazine). But if I was a kid, I wouldn’t want to pose for photos either.

      • Jessica says:

        It isn’t. Plus, they didn’t celebrate like some celebrities. We didn’t have a countdown until the wedding. New articles everyday about wedding details. We didn’t know anything until after the fact. They didn’t make people sick of the wedding before it even happened. They announced it days after the fact and now we have photos, and that’s it. It’s like a slap in the face to tabloids that could have made money off this wedding. They didn’t even have a People photographer come. The had a professional but a close family friend that worked for free. They made their own cake and wore clothes they already had. Sorry, but I love this family.

      • Chris says:

        And they appear to have an admirably discriminating, tactful sense about what they are sharing, I think.
        They accept that millions of us want in, for such an occasion, and they seem to have felt at ease with revealing the essentials precisely because it’d be a granite heart that would see anything smug or calculated to induce envy. I think the honest to god intention here is to share pure joy. Riches and privileges we know about, but really, these photos speak about other things. If you know you can give pleasure without doing any harm, then why not?
        (Blimey the Loonieness is strong in me, must come down to earth.).

    David Fincher filmed their wedding for them. In the Hello! magazine photos, you can see him in the background with a camera. They’ve blurred his face which is hilarious but it’s clearly him.

    • Mixtape says:

      Hi-larious. I’ve always wanted to watch a wedding video that left me feeling human depravity was so prevalent that it robbed life of all meaning.

      • Irishae says:

        I want to see the part where everyone finds out Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are the same person.

  20. glitz says:

    they say dropping the ring on the wedding ceremony is a bad luck, isnt it? i hope its not! they are such a happy family

  21. glowworm47 says:

    I love these. So much better to see relaxed weding pics where everyone is genuinley happy than the over stylized and over edited crap Kim K posted. Angelina and Brad made the wedding about their family, not gold toilets and other BS.

  22. maddelina says:

    I included my kids in my wedding as well so I think it was a nice gesture. However the vows were between me and my husband, not the kids! Somehow that seems like a mockery of the whole thing to me. They all look happy and that’s great but I’m asking myself who runs the show. The kids? It’s just strange to me. I’ve read where those kids run wild and have trashed hotel rooms and houses that the JP’s have rented. Not a fan or a hater!

    • Kim1 says:

      HaHaHa you read that BS in the same tabloids that claim Shiloh wore a dress I just read tabloid summary @jezebel.com
      LMAO

    • Janet says:

      That trashed hotel room story was directly attributable to Brad Pitt. Some tabloid reporter asked him where the children were and Brad said “They’re back at the hotel throwing spaghetti on the walls.” Either the reporter didn’t recognize sarcasm when he heard it or he thought it would make good copy anyway, because they wrote it into a tabloid story and it took off from there. (The hotel denied it ever happened.)

      • maddelina says:

        Actually no to both of you. I dont read tabloids. They rented a friend’s house and the friend was the one who complained. I’ve read that about the kids trashing the place in several different articles.

      • Alesia says:

        maddelina there is nowhere else those ‘articles’ would be but in a tabloid, so of course you must have read them in tabloids. The fact is the friend denied they made the comment, it was the tabloids that made them up.

  23. P.J. says:

    I was going to say that this whole thing sounds entire all to kid-centric and not at all about the two adults actually getting married but then I rembered that Brad and Angie have both said (repeatedly) that if they ever got married it would only be because their children really wanted them to and said it was very important to them. So since that’s the case, I guess it all makes sense and is appropriate…

    Something nice: I love the original sentimentality behind the children’s drawings on her gown-just wait though: EVERYONE is going to start doing this now, ugh-and Angie and her brother both wearing pieces of their late, much beloved mother’s jewelry 😢 Very sweet.

  24. Bumbly says:

    Lets face it, only AJ could pull that look off. Us dumpy mortals would just look mad
    Was jon Voight not in the pics?

    • Jaded says:

      He was not at the wedding. Doubt if he was even invited as he is an unrepentant blabber-mouth and would have let the cat out of the bag a million times.

  25. Jaded says:

    I’m thinking that AJ’s surgery and recovery must have been very worrying for the kids and a wedding like this, which was basically a big happy fun family day, must have been wonderfully therapeutic for them to plan and enjoy. Good on them for making it about the family, not becoming consumed with having the most extravagant wedding ever.

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      Excellent comment, I agree with you.

    • Meme says:

      She didn’t have cancer so there really wasn’t much to worry about. According to her, she wa up and about doing storyboards for Unbroken with tubes hanging off her. It’s not like she was having chemo.

      • Jaded says:

        Well I remember my mother having to have non-cancerous surgery when I was a little kid and I was terrified – blubbered every night even though my dad kept telling me everything was going to be alright. Kids don’t rationalize the way grownups do – it’s all or nothing with them – and speaking from my own personal history, their kids were probably very upset. That’s a pretty cold comment to make by the way “she didn’t have cancer so there wasn’t much to worry about”. Of course you’re worried and anxious when someone you love is undergoing painful surgery, even if it isn’t cancer-related.

    • Stacy says:

      Beautiful comment , I agree with you, sometimes health scare puts things in to prespective and thats whats happened with Brad & Angie. Yes they say its for their kids but its also for them too.

  26. L says:

    Ok here’s what I don’t get:

    If it was “for the children” why did they sell the photos to “the world”?

    If this was a “low-key” event for the family, why did she have a dress custom designed by a European couture designer? Shouldn’t she have up led something from the closet as Brad supposedly did?

    I think she looks timid, hesitant and reticent in several of the photos. I don’t think she’s really into the idea of being married.

    I’m not a hater,but I’m very intuitive and I give this three years. Sorry.

    • Jessica says:

      I disagree because you’re being completely negative about their wedding and marriage, when it’s a happy time for their family. Ok whatever you say.

    • Ennie says:

      mmm 3 years after the practically ten they have been together… 13 years in HW is not that bad. We’ll see in 2017!

    • Janet says:

      How long did you give it when they got together after he left his ex-wife? I bet you didn’t give it six months.

    • Alesia says:

      I don’t know how designing your own dress makes you the opposite of low key I truly think that is reaching. The wedding was low key but she released the photos for fans but it doesn’t negate the fact that it was low key. I think your intuition is off on this couple because they’ve been together for 9 years already and Brad’s kiss show they still after 9 years truly love each other and their children mean everything to them. They will be together in another 10 years time mark my words.

      • Janet says:

        This is pretty much how it’s gone since 2005:
        Late 2005: “They’re breaking up any day now. They won’t last the year out. He’s going back to Jennifer.”
        Spring 2006: “They’ll break up right after she has the baby.”
        Late 2006: “They’ll break up right after Christmas.”
        Spring 2007: “They’ll break up right after Cannes.”
        Late 2007: “They’ll break up before the year is out.”
        Spring 2008: “They’ll break up right after the twins are born.”
        Summer 2008 and afterwards: “Of course they won’t break up! Angelina trapped him and he’s stuck with all those kids!”

    • Jaded says:

      This is a marriage that is very meaningful not only to each other but to their children. She’s not looking timid or hesitant, she’s probably trying to not get all teary as it was meant to be a happy, relaxed and involved event for their family. Of course she’s going to have a couture dress, she’s Angelina Jolie for God’s sake, but it included whimsical elements of the family in it with the drawings on her dress by her children. If she was so reticent about getting married why bring the kids in to such an extent to plan and celebrate the event?

      Furthermore, she and Brad always donate money from photo ops to their charities, hence the photos.

      You may be intuitive about some things but I think you’ve missed the boat on this one. They are a committed, life-long partnership and loving parents to their brood.

    • Meme says:

      I agree. They are exploiting their wedding and it’s part of their Oscar campaign. They wanted a private wedding and should have kept it private.

      • Alesia says:

        Oh please there will always be a movie to promote if you take that line they would never get married for fear someone would think it was to promote something. Over the last 9 years they could have gotten married when there was Oscar talk much more than now. Seriously some people really reach. They had a low key wedding and released photos for their fans and money goes to charity. Their wedding was very private. If they wanted to exploit something they’d pick a better time than this.

  27. annalisa says:

    has anyone ever noticed how much Brad Pitt looks like a young Jon Voight? They are the spitting image of each other. Considering how Angelina feels about her father, it’s very interesting. Makes you wonder about the psychology behind it all………….

    • Ennie says:

      Well, her dad is fair and has a strong jaw, pretty lips and expressive eyes…It is a common thing. One ends to go back to what it is familiar. My dad was very fair strong man and I always liked fair skinned men better, and married one white as cheese.
      What Brad might be different in is the personality towards her children, while Jon was probably aloof and insensitive, Brad is there for them.

    • Janet says:

      Interesting. In some pictures Shiloh looks exactly like her father. In other pictures she looks exactly like Jon Voight.

    • Stacy says:

      Brad looks more like Robert Redford , than his father in law John Vouight.

  28. Zork says:

    Whether it be the Kardashians or this group of attention seekers, most celebrity weddings now seem like a parody of an actual wedding. The shots are good though because they are so carefully staged.

    • Alesia says:

      What wedding doesn’t have carefully staged photos? There are many candids in this lot. There is no one way to have a wedding, I’m not sure why you think there is or that there is a standard wedding to parody.

      • Zork says:

        You mean where people share an authentic experience, it’s possible. Some of us have even been part of such but sure, please, if these shots touch at the heartstrings, don’t forget to check out Robert Procop’s latest line at [fill in high end boutique.]

        The only thing left out is the official crest of Miraval rosé as a photo watermark and a deus ex machina appearance from Aniston holding a giant bottle of Smart Water.

      • Alesia says:

        Huh? Sorry Zork I didn’t understand any of that. :/

      • Jaded says:

        Jeez Zork, can’t anyone get married and share their photos and happiness, plus donate the money from the photos? You must be drinking from a very bitter well.

    • maddelina says:

      Agree with Zork.

  29. Suzy from Ontario says:

    That Knox is going to be a trend setter for sure. That kid just reeks of confidence and style. 🙂
    I think it sounds wonderful and it’s so nice that they allowed the kids to take play such a big role. The kids look thrilled in that pic of Brad and Angie kissing at the altar.
