The most famous couple in the world reportedly wed in a small private ceremony attended by close family and friends.

The couple’s spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press the wedding took place in a “small chapel” at the Chateau Miraval and the newlywed’s six children all had special roles in the wedding.

Angelina was reportedly walked the aisle with her eldest sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 11. Daughters Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, threw flower petals while Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers.

Jolie, 39, and Pitt, 50, became engaged in April 2012 – seven years after falling in love on the set of their 2005 film Mr. And Mrs. Smith.

Pitt and Jolie obtained a marriage license from a local California judge, who also conducted the ceremony in France.

In May this year the Maleficent star told People magazine the reason for the long engagement was timing.

“We’re just waiting for it to be the right time with the kids, with work, when it feels right,” Jolie said.

“We talk about it occasionally, and the kids talk about it with us, which is verging on hysterical, how kids envision a wedding. They will in a way be the wedding planners. It’s going to be Disney or paintball – one or the other! We’ve got a lot of different personalities in the house. They’ve got some strong opinions,” she continued.

“It will be fun. That’s the important thing. When we do it, it will feel like a great day for our family,” Jolie said.
