Rachel Griffiths Marries
While the rest of us couch potatoes watched the ball drop on TV, actress Rachel Griffiths took a moonlit walk down the aisle New Year's Eve.
The Six Feet Under star wed longtime friend and fellow Aussie, artist Andrew Taylor, in Melbourne. The couple have been engaged since June.
The candle-lit ceremony took place at Star of the Sea Chapel, in Gardenvale, where Griffiths went to school. The location was kept top secret until the very last minute. Double-decker party buses drove around town picking up the 140 guests who had no idea where they were going before arriving at the chapel, reports the Mebourne Herald Sun.
High-profile guests at the bonza event included fellow Aussie actors Toni Collette, Guy Pearce, Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts.
But it wasn't all famous faces at the full Catholic mass ceremony. Griffiths' mom, Anna, accompanied her daughter down the aisle to the strains of a specially composed wedding march by London-based composer, Barrington Pheloung. Griffiths' uncle, the Reverend Father Andrew Hamilton, a Jesuit priest, officiated.
The bride's independent fashion sense, which has been criticized in the past, asserted itself with a contemporary yet tasteful silk gauze gown by Alberta Ferreti and flat Jimmy Choo shoes. The groom wore, well, does anyone really care? (In case you do, it was a Helmut Lang suit with Roberto Cavalli shirt.)
International designer Janty Yates was the maid of honor and three young cousins, dressed in silk tulle fairy dresses designed by the Six Feet Under costume department, served as flower girls.
There were no bridesmaids as the bride, who once dated actor Eric Stoltz, does not believe that women in their 30s should appear in matching dresses, according to her publicist.
The festivities continued with a New Year's Eve party for 220 at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, where the theme was A Midsummer's Night Dream, which makes sense only to those living below the equator.
"We wanted to embrace the sensual," the couple said in a statement. "This is a midsummer night's party celebrating love."
The cake was cut at midnight and guests partied until the wee hours of the morning.
Meanwhile don't look for a tussle between Us Weekly and People magazines over wedding snapshots. The couple sold one wedding photo to the media with the proceeds going to charity.
The just-hitched Aussies will spend a one-week honeymoon in their homeland and then it's back to work for Griffiths, who resumes shooting HBO's hit series Six Feet Under in Los Angeles.
Griffiths, who first came to international attention as an ABBA-loving party girl in Muriel's Wedding, is nominated for her second Golden Globe as commitment-phobic sexpot Brenda Chenoweth. Winners will be announced January 19.
