Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally tied the knot at the extravagant Château Miraval in southern France. After a two-year engagement, the couple, aged 50 and 39 respectively, wed last Saturday in a private ceremony with only close family and friends present. Their children—Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 6—were all part of the celebration.
The couple had longed to marry at their 1,000-acre vineyard estate, which has recently been renovated. Their $28 wine, Côtes de Provence Rosé Miraval, is produced at this organic wine château located near Aix-en-Provence.
The celebration included a festive lunch in the “Great Hall,” featuring local hams, cheeses, freshly caught sea bass, Italian pastas, champagne, and Château Miraval rosé wine. The couple chose three types of cakes for the event, selected by their children: strawberry ice cream, three-chocolate gateau, and a fresh cream and raspberry cake.
The estate, once owned by jazz pianist and composer Jacques Loussier in the 1970s, has a history of musical legacy, hosting recordings by Pink Floyd, Sting, Sade, and the Cranberries. The Pitt-Jolie family continues this tradition, as noted by Château Miraval’s website, emphasizing the estate as a hub for the arts, including music, cinema, theater, local food, and fine wine.
A representative for the couple shared that on August 23, 2014, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married in a small chapel at Château Miraval in France. The ceremony was a non-denominational civil event, and all their children played roles: Maddox and Pax walked Angelina down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne scattered petals, and Shiloh and Knox were the ring bearers. Brad and Angelina had completed their marriage paperwork and obtained a license in California before traveling to France, where a local judge officiated the ceremony, ensuring their marriage is recognized under Californian law.
Pitt was spotted wearing his wedding ring for the first time at a photocall for the World War II film *Fury* at The Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset. Their rings were designed by their close friend Robert Procop.
