The children made us do it, says Brad Pitt about him and Angelina Jolie going to the altar. “The kids ask about marriage. It’s meaning more and more to them. So it’s something we’ve got to look at.”
Pitt had an excuse for putting off marriage even Charlie Sheen would be proud of: He would not wed until gay marriage was allowed across the nation. “Until all couples can wed, we will not,” he said in the past.
Without waiting for hell to freeze over in all 50 states, Pitt-Jolie’s six children chimed in. Pitt said he desires a little normalcy in their lives. This makes sense as they are the most chased of any family in the U.S. The children are aged 2-9.
It’s not an easy existence, he told USA Today. “We’re hunted.” Our kids have to live behind a gate. Outside, there are people with cameras… But I’ll take the trade-off. I never knew I was capable of experiencing so much love.”
Pitt describes his duties in loving terms, from rescuing his children from bad dreams to making dinner to packing their suitcases in minimal, military style — though that last part is Jolie’s forte.
“Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us,” Pitt explains. “It’s not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It’s chaos from morning until the lights go out, and sometimes after that.”
Another couple with a lot of media attention got married this weekend: Dallas Cowboy’s star quarterback Tony Romo and former Miss Missouri Candace Crawford. The couple wed at Arlington Hall in Dallas this weekend in a fairly private ceremony, just 600 guests when they could have filled Dallas Stadium.
Cowboy players past and present, such as Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, Dez Bryant and Miles Austi, as well as team owner Jerry Jones, were seen helping the couple celebrate their nuptials in the historic building tucked in the city’s Oak Lawn neighborhood, reports Dallas’s KDAF-TV.
Crawford, KDAF-TV anchor and the younger sister of “Gossip Girl’s” Chace Crawford, who was seen at the wedding.
She received an 8-carat yellow diamond engagement ring, which features one carat of round diamonds surrounding the center stone. Her bridesmaids wore Badgley Mischka dresses.
Short ribs and pizza were promised on the new couple’s reception menu.
“We did lots of man food,” organizer Todd Fiscus told CBS about the menu for the big day. “I have a lot of football players to feed.”
Fiscus was also responsible for the custom gift bag for the out-of town guests.
Monogrammed with the wedding couple’s initials, the bag contains a Neiman Marcus gift card, assorted treats from Great One Cookies, a Mix of the Month CD by DJ Lucy Wrubel, a miniature bottle of Moet champagne, a box of Dude Sweet Chocolates, gourmet popcorn, chips and salsa, “Killer Pecans” from Bandera Foods, Voss bottled water, and an assortment of Kiehl’s beauty and body products.
The couple became engaged in December, when Romo, 31, proposed to Crawford on her 24th birthday. They have been dating since summer 2009, shortly after Romo split from Jessica Simpson.
There were a lot of break-ups this weekend too, but that’s another story. Stay tuned to HT!
