Natalie Portman Weds. Collective Sighing Ensues All Across America
by Shannon Keirnan
It would seem that no matter how many stars got wished on last night, Natalie Portman was doing the dirty deed right under them.
Natalie Portman wed Benjamin Millepied last night beneath the California sky, in a small and very private evening affair.
The wedding was a traditional Jewish ceremony under a chuppah in Big Sur, right where rumor had placed it. So we had a fair idea this was coming, yet no one did anything to stop it? Hrmph.
Only 60 guests were present, made up of the two’s closest friends and family. So we’re guessing 59 folks on Natalie’s side, and Mama Millepied glaring and muttering at Portman in French across the aisle.
Portman and Millepied met on the set of “Black Swan” in 2009 and have been engaged since December of 2010. Portman credits Millepied largely for her Oscar nod, and the two have a 13-month old son together named Aleph.
While few details have been leaked about the highly secure happy event, the source who hinted at the upcoming nuptials in the first place had also mentioned that Portman’s desire to keep the affair light meant she might not even be purchasing a new dress for her walk down the aisle.
Hey, we get laid back, but it’s not like the award winner is hurting for money. We hope the graceful lady splurged a little, and especially, that we’ll get to see a few hastily snapped photographs of the blushing bride that managed to fly under the wire despite their strict no photography enforcement.
But anyway, all kidding and moaning aside, we wish the couple sincere happiness and success in their life together.
And also that Natalie Portman shall not go on to become known as Natalie Millepied. Yuck.
