REVEALED: Inside BRAD & ANGIE’s wedding of the century! ALL THE DEETS!
Brad and Angelina will tie the knot at their French chateau this summer, and his parents will renew their vows at the same time!
Plans are already underway to ferry dozens of showbiz pals to the couple’s newly renovated $70 million estate, where they’ll say “I do” on Aug. 11 – his parent’s 50th wedding anniversary, sources say.
But The ENQUIRER has learned the Hollywood lovebirds are already bickering over plans for their long-awaited nuptials, and some of Brad’s relatives are stunned at the news.
“Angie would have liked a very small ceremony, but Brad is set on a big romantic event at Chateau Miraval on his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary,” said a source close to the actor.
Meanwhile, some Pitt family insiders are shocked that after seven years and six kids together, the A-list couple plan to wed.
“Engaged? I thought they were breaking up,” said Randy Williams, a relative who lives in Brad’s hometown of Springfield, Mo.
“I didn’t even hear about it until everyone else did.”
On April 13, a rep for Brad, 48, confirmed that he’s engaged to the 36-year-old Oscar winner, and designed her ring featuring an emerald-cut, six-carat center stone.
The six carats symbolize each of the couple’s children – Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, said a source close to the Jolie-Pitts.
“The side diamonds around the big sparkler represent their plans for future children,” added the source. “They definitely want to expand their family!”
Brad will soon be slipping another ring on Angelina’s finger when they tie the knot. And a vast logistical operation is already underway to fly dozens of big names to the couple’s Chateau Miraval estate, which sits on 1,000 acres in the heart of France’s Aix-en-Provence famed wine region.
Millions have been spent to refurbish the chateau with special attention devoted to its chapel, which dates back to the Middle Ages.
“There have been workmen going in and out nonstop, and Brad is often here to supervise them,” said a local wine producer.
“He wants everything to be perfect for the big day, and no expense has been spared.” Most of the 350 expected wedding guests will fly into either Marseille or Nice, then head to the wedding site by helicopter, said the source.
Topping the guest list are Brad’s parents Bill and Jane Pitt, his brother Doug and sister Julie, plus Angelina’s brother James Haven and her godparents, British actress Jacqueline Bisset and German acting legend Maximillian Schell.
A long list of Hollywood heavyweights, including actors George Clooney, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise, Paramount chairman Brad Grey, directors Ridley Scott, David Fincher and Clint Eastwood, along with their significant others and families, are also expected to attend.
After saying “I do,” the newlyweds will be toasted with wine from the estate’s vineyard, said the local source.
“Brad and Angie want to use one of their own wines, and have chosen Pink Floyd Rose,” the source revealed. “It’s light but punchy, and has won lots of awards. This part of the world is all about wine.”
The couple’s children are also getting into the wedding planning.
“Maddox has already proclaimed that he wants to be best man and Zahara has taken charge of the other kids’ duties,” said the source.
“She wants Pax to be the ring bearer, with Shiloh and herself as flower girls. Knox and Vivienne will scatter rose petals.
“The only glitch is that Shiloh, who prefers boy’s clothes, wants to wear a tuxedo instead of a dress!”
