More details have emerged from inside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s secret wedding ceremony.

"It was comfortable with plain white floor-length antique lace and silk."She had a veil but Brad lifted it and gasped because she looked so stunning."

Family played an important part in the wedding day. Angelina was given away by her eldest sons Maddox and Pax, while Knox and Shiloh acted as ring bearers. Zahara and Vivienne "had baskets of rose petals and other flowers they'd picked in the garden that morning" and they threw them in front of their mum and dad as they walked down the aisle.

Angelina's father Jon Voight was not in attendance, although he has since released a statement saying how happy he is for the newlyweds. After the wedding ceremony, the family returned to the Great Hall in the main house for a celebration lunch with "local hams, cheeses, freshly-caught sea bass, Italian pastas and champagne, as well as Chateau Miraval rose wine" (Angelina and Brad's own brand).
