This is what “I do” looks like for the
planet’s most-talked-about couple: part royal grandeur (that château!), part
perfectly imperfect chaos (never trust elementary schoolers with a wedding
ring) and wholly a reflection of the bride and groom’s half dozen young wedding
planners: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, 9, Shilo, 8, and 6-year-old twins Knox and
Vivienne. From the adorably askew cake – baked and generously frosted by
Pax – to
Jolie’s gown and veil, designed by Atelier Versace master tailor Luigi Massi
and hand-sewn with dozens of the children’s drawings, the entire affair
unfolded at the intersection of A-list and Pinterest. “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.”
Of course, there was never any doubt that
the “simple, personal” festivities would center on the couple’s six-pack of
distinctive personalities. “It’s going to be Disney or paintball – one
or the other!” Jolie toldPeople in May of her kids’ “verging on
hysterical” ideas for the wedding. More than two years in the making– ever
since Pitt proposed to Jolie, at their children’s urging, in spring 2012 – the
celebration offered each child the opportunity to play his or her unique part.
“The children chose their roles and their clothes,” says Jolie.
For Maddox and
Pax that meant walking down the aisle with Mom – and
lending a tie to Dad, who forgot to pack his own. Flower girls Zahara, in a
dress designed by family friend Adama Kebe, and Viv, in a dress from her
closet, opted to throw petals gathered from the family’s 1,200-acre estate. As
for ring bearers Knox and Shiloh, the day called for whimsical hats of their
choosing – and yes,
a briefly dropped wedding band, prompting giggles from the guests, a group that
included Pitt’s parents, Bill and Jane, his brother and sister Doug and Julie,
and Jolie’s brother James Haven, designer Massi and jeweler Robert
Procop. –– People
