"On August 5, hand in hand in their backyard of their Bel-Air mansion, Jennifer Joanna Aniston and Justin Paul Theroux exchanged marriage vows. Jennifer (age 47), and Theroux (age 44), came out as a couple four years ago - furtively at first, then after the comedy film Wanderlust hit theaters they began attending public events together more openly as a couple. The much-anticipated wedding, with some 70 odd guests including close family and friends, 11 decorative tables, a raised stage, a bar, and multiple candles made for an intimate setting as well as a romantic celebration. The guest list included: media personality Howard Stern and his wife Beth Ostrosky-Stern, actor/comedian Jason Bateman, Jennifer's former Friends co-stars actresses Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox, talk show hostess/comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and her wife actress/model Portia de Rossi, actress Lake Bell and her husband tattoo artist Scott Campbell, photographer Terry Richardson, actor/comedian John Krasinski and his wife actress Emily Blunt, talk show hostess/comedienne Chelsea Handler, actor/comedian Will Arnett, actor Tobey Maguire and his wife Jennifer Meyer, late night talk show host/comedian Jimmy Kimmel, actor Billy Curdup, actress/comedienne Kathryn Hahn, actress/comedienne Whitney Cummings and singers Sia Furler and Samantha Ronson as well as other guests. Jennifer had been flashing one heck of an engagement ring that Theroux picked out for her since he popped the question back in 2012 on the eve of his 41st birthday. The screenwriter/actor commented, "What better birthday present than your girlfriend saying, 'YES!' to your proposal?" She commented about her engagement ring back in June saying, "I think it's so beautiful," she told PEOPLE, "I've never had anything so big on my band, but I love it because he picked it, and put into a setting and it's simple. It doesn't feel gaudy."
For the longest time the couple spoke of always wanting to hold an intimate as well as private ceremony where they would wed, but they originally wanted it to take place on the beach. Earlier Theroux said, "My mom would've killed me if Jen and I would've eloped, and that's when Jennifer and I knew we had to have an actual wedding ceremony." The ceremony started late in the afternoon with workers really sprawling the property for preparations that went underway by 4:30 p.m. Jennifer and Justin's wedding cake was topped with the bride and groom in Muppet form for the cake topper. They disguised their wedding ceremony as Justin's birthday party, and the couple wanted to surprise the guests who were certainly surprised. After their ceremony was finished guests poured onto the dance floor, which was fashioned from the couple's covered pool. Jennifer is due to make two upcoming films including Mother's Day which is has an ensemble cast including Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, and Jason Sudeikis and is due in theaters April 2016 and directed by Gary Marshall, and Mean Moms directed by Sean Anders which is a spin-off of actress Lindsay Lohan's 2004 film Mean Girls due in theaters December 2016. Whereas Justin's next project takes him across the world as he is serving as the screenwriter for the sequel film Zoolander 2 filmed in Europe due out in 2016. Justin is also filming the second season of the HBO series The Leftovers on location in Texas. Meanwhile, Jennifer who's been saying she wants children since having been with ex-husband Pitt, has recently commented in an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, "Justin and I are trying out best." Reportedly the celebration didn't end until 2 a.m. in the morning as guests began leaving the couples Bel-Air home. Bring on the honeymoon! Jennifer and Justin took off on Thursday for their post-wedding getaway to Bora Bora. The newlyweds who tied the knot on Wednesday, were spotted boarding a private plane out of Los Angels the next day. A source tells PEOPLE, "Jennifer and Justin invited several friends along for the trip because they wanted the celebration to last as long as possible."
