After nine years of being one of the world's most talked about couples, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie surprised everyone when they finally tied the knot in a ceremony held on August 23. The wedding details and photos, showcasing Jolie's custom Atelier Versace dress, were revealed in People this week.
The intimate ceremony was held at Château Miraval, the family's estate in Correns, France, and hosted just 20 guests in attendance. Brad and Angelina's six children played a large role in the special day, from helping design the gown to even writing their parents' vows. The bride was walked down the aisle by her eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, while Shiloh and Knox played ring bearers for the ceremony, causing a moment of laughter when they accidentally dropped the wedding bands (designed by Robert Procop) down the aisle. Daughters Zahara and Vivienne served as flower girls, tossing petals that they picked from the chateau's garden. 10 year-old Pax baked the wedding cake for the big day.
To honor Angelina's late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, Brad had a dedication to her engraved inside the chapel. Additionally, both he and Angelina stood on a stone with a tribute etched onto it when they officially said "I do."
As for that custom Atelier Versace dress designed by good friend Luigi Massi featuring her children's artwork, Angelina revealed it was a surprise to Brad, telling People, "Brad didn't see the dress until the moment of the wedding." To complement the colorfully decorated gown, Jolie wore a flower ring belonging to her late mother as her something borrowed. Angelina's brother, James Haven, also wore an angel pin belonging to Bertrand during the ceremony. Brad continued the something borrowed tradition by wearing a tie from one of his sons after he forgot to pack his own.
The couple's vows were written by their six children and officiated by California judge John Ouderkirk.
