Nine years and six kids later, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have officially tied the noose...I mean knot. Jolie and Pitt wed in an intimate ceremony in Chateau Miraval, France last Saturday.
The nuptials took place at a small, non-denominational Chapel, and they were surrounded by their friends and family. Of course, on hand were the couple's six children. Maddox and Pax walked Jolie down the aisle. Zahara and Vivienne were on hand to throw flower pedals, and Shiloh and Knox had the honor of being the ring bearers.
Jolie and Pitt became engaged in 2012, and have been vocal about having a low-key ceremony. They even wanted the children to be a part of the planning.
The couple fell in love while filming 2005's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." This romance wasn't without controversy, however. Many people suspected that Pitt was having an affair with Jolie while still married to actress Jennifer Aniston. This has never been confirmed.
I'm happy that the couple has finally gotten married. It's been too long and they seem to be a good match for each other. I like that the ceremony was low-key and that they waited to tell everyone. Most Hollywood A-listers tend to make a big deal about weddings by whoring themselves out to the media, and asking networks for big money to have it televised.
While researching this breaking news story, I came across a lot of comments from conservative assholes who can't get over the fact that these two had kids before they got married. Really, guys?! There are a lot of couples out there who have had children before getting married. It doesn't give you the right to judge them. It's not a sin if the child is born into a family who is stable and will love the child. Plus, these two are now married. What is the problem??
I don't get how conservatives can go around pointing at and calling "out-of-wedlock" children bastards, and still call themselves good people. Look, I was conceived and born out of wedlock. My parents never married. When I was growing up, they couldn't stand each other. It sucked. But when I entered my 20s and tried to become a member of a Church (that my grandparents were once a part of), they gossiped about me and judged me for being a "bastard (Hell, I was told I was evil because of it)." Like somehow it was MY fault for being born out of wedlock. Is it Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's biological children's fault that they were conceived and born out of wedlock? No! Judging them for that is COMPLETELY unfair! They are beautiful children.
Anyways, I digress. Again, I'm happy for the couple. I wish them many years of happiness, and I hope closed-minded conservatives rot slowly.
