Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Get Married in France

I'm guessing it's because he has a big case of verbal diarrhea and probably would have leaked the news.

Could be. I knew that but really nothing about the wedding. Some were invited, but not Daddy?

It's really not a shocker that her dad wasn't there.

When Brad Pitt and Angelina Joliewent about planning their big day, they didn't have to look far to find the perfect wedding planners: their six children.

The intimate Aug. 23 ceremony – attended by just 20 friends and family members – was held in the chapel of Château Miraval, the family's estate in the French village of Correns. The wedding – including exclusive photos of the ceremony, Jolie's unique dress (decorated with her children's artwork!) and the entire family's celebration – is featured in this week's issue of PEOPLE, in conjunction with Hello! magazine internationally.

Each child had a key role to play: Eldest sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10, walked their mom down the aisle; flower girls Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, tossed petals gathered from the garden; and Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers. The kids also helped write their parents' vows. And Pax baked the cake!

"It was important to us that the day was relaxed and full of laughter," Pitt, 50, and Jolie, 39, tell PEOPLE. "It was such a special day to share with our children and a very happy time for our family."




Even Jolie's dress was an expression of her kids' creativity: Luigi Massi, the master tailor at Atelier Versace, sewed dozens of designs from her children's drawings into the dress and veil.

"Luigi is like family to me and I couldn't imagine anyone else making this dress," says Jolie. "He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together."

Pitt wore a suit from his closet – with a tie borrowed from one of his sons because Pitt forgot to pack his. Zahara's dress was designed by family friend Adama Kebe. Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and Knox wore black suits (Shiloh's included shorts and a top hat), and Vivienne wore a white dress from her closet. Jeweler Robert Procop, who designed Jolie's engagement ring, created the couple's wedding bands.

Oh dear, that dress...I guess she was trying to stay away from the expected shift?

Dress is not what I expected.
Congratulations to them. I've always loved Angelina!

I would not want a dress with that artwork but this really does work for them The wedding was a family event and the kids will remember this forever.

I actually love the autographed veil!

[tulip]

I love it. The pictures on the veil make it all the more special and family oriented. Can you imagine how thrilled the kids were that she did this?

While it's fun to see the dress, I am disappointed they sold pix to the mags. I really liked the fact they pulled off the whole thing so privately.

that dress is hideous. why not just create a canvas with the kids' artwork and drape it over the area where they were married? there would be a zillion better ways to display it. sartorial fail.

I like the idea of the dress but the execution is a little underwhelming. Cute concept though and if it makes the kids happy I don't think it matters.

Maybe she really doesn't give a shit about her wedding/dress. Sounds like they got married more for the kids anyway...
why NOT go all out and have her children's art on her veil.

^^^ i don't know what angie is thinking since i'm not on the habitrail that runs through her head. i am just saying i'm not a fan of the dress ....

[chartreuse]

That dress. O.O

I don't watch Fashion Police because I always forget to, but this is where I'd miss Joan.

I would have preferred her arms covered but I always say that.
