Angelina Jolie has revealed that she was already a married woman when she walked down the aisle to marry Brad Pitt in France last August.

However it seems the first Jolie-Pitt wedding was even more low-key than the second. Describing the day she officially became Mrs Brad Pitt, Jolie said, “one day I said to Brad, ‘Let's meet up at 4:30 P.M.?’ I called a justice of the peace and we signed the documents.”
Brangelina’s wedding ceremony then took place at the couple’s vineyard property, Château Miraval in the South of France, with their six children playing a big part in their parent’s special day. Eldest sons Maddox, and Pax walked Jolie down the aisle, while daughters Zahara and Vivienne were flower girls and Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers. The children also helped write their parents' vows and Jolie’s veil was decorated with their artwork.
