Nicole Kidman marries country singer

 

The actress Nicole Kidman has married Keith Urban, the country music singer, shunning Hollywood glitz for a ceremony at a clifftop chapel in her home city of Sydney.

 

Kidman arrived in a Rolls-Royce limousine wearing a white Balenciaga gown, draped in a veil and clutching a bouquet of white roses. She was accompanied by her father, Antony, and smiled and waved to well-wishers.

 

Details of the service, at the chapel of St Patrick's College, Manly, were closely guarded and no general media coverage was allowed. The ceremony was attended by close relatives and a smattering of A-list stars.

 

The gothic-style college building was dramatically floodlit for the dusk-to-evening ceremony, which was held in a small chapel on the compound.

 

After about 90 minutes, the bells of the chapel indicated that the service was over and guests moved to a marquee in the grounds for the reception.

 

Kidman's adopted daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Isabella, 13, and her sister Antonia arrived dressed as bridesmaids.

 

The event was in marked contrast to Kidman and Cruise's wedding, which was held in private according to the rites of the Church of Scientology to which Cruise belongs.

 

Star guests at today's service included the Australian action star Hugh Jackman and the media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Australian Hollywood stars Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe were also expected.

 

The Kidman family priest who conducted the ceremony, Father Paul Coleman, said beforehand that Kidman and Urban were "totally focused on their commitment".

 

It is Urban's first marriage, and Kidman's second after her 10-year union with Cruise ended in 2001.

Nicole Kidman Wasn't Married to Tom Cruise...

 

at least according to the Catholic Church in Australia.

 

Many around the world were scratching their heads this weekend, trying to figure out how Kidman was able to get married as a Catholic in a Catholic ceremony, as the Church does not allow for a second marriage (in the Church) after a divorce. Many assumed that Kidman had gotten her marriage to Tom Cruise annulled, which would technically pave the way for a second marriage in the Church.

 

Well, not so fast. Kidman's marriage to Cruise lasted 10 years -- a little long to plead temporary insanity -- and considering how notoriously difficult it is to have the Church grant an annullment (they're not handing them out like communion wafers), Kidman may have figured out how to get around the requirement-- she reportedly didn't need an annulment at all.

 

The BBC is reporting that Kidman's 10-year union to Cruise wasn't recognized by the Catholic Church of Australia. The service was seen only as a legal ceremony and not a spiritual one. In other words, according to the Catholic Church anyway, it never happened. All Kidman had to prove was that it was dissolved legally and she was free to marry any country crooner she wanted. A loophole to be sure, but one that allowed Kidman to reconnect her Catholic faith with Keith Urban, the man she loves.
