He then reiterated: "Good tears I was told, which I think took the sting out of it slightly for her on the Saturday night so at least she had some kind of idea of what was coming."
Greg and his wife Emma have been together for more than 25 years. They met in 1995 while filming period drama Sense and Sensibility, alongside Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman, and then tied the knot eight years later in 2003.
The A-list stars shared their big day - which took place in the small Scottish town of Dunoon - exclusively with HELLO! magazine. At the time, their daughter Gaia was three years old. The following year, the couple informally adopted a son, Tindyebwa Agaba Wise, a Rwandan orphan and former child soldier.
