| Julia Roberts's and Danny Moder's Wedding |
| ||||||
The invitation called for a "Midsummer Night's Dream-ISH Meets Something Great Gatsby-like Combined with Wild West Bohemian" party.

The wedding license Julia Roberts officially gave up her love-'em-and-leave-'em ways on--ironically enough--Independence Day, as she and her cameraman boyfriend Daniel Moder swapped vows in the wee hours of July 4 at the pretty woman's sprawling ranch in Taos, New Mexico. "Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder married during a midnight ceremony before family and friends at their home in New Mexico," the actress' publicist, Marcy Engelman, said in a brief statement. She refused to divulge any other details. Only two days ago, Engleman was adamantly denying that her Oscar-winning client was planning a trip down the aisle. Reporters had been staking out the 40-acre ranch for the past few days, ever since Britain's Daily Mail reported Monday on the pending nuptials. On Wednesday, the wedding rumors went into overdrive as a big white tent was erected on the property. Among those reportedly on the guest list: George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Roberts was reportedly flying in about 50 friends and family members for the ceremony. The midnight marriage was apparently conceived by Roberts as a way to thwart overzealous paparazzi from peering in. The Independence Day vows were reportedly Moder's idea, a symbol that his divorce had been finalized and he was free to marry Roberts. An invitation obtained by reporters on Wednesday said the event was for Roberts' annual barbecue--no mention of the matrimonial fireworks--but it did ask all guests to wear white linen. This is the second marriage for both. Roberts, 34, spent 21 months wedded to country crooner Lyle Lovett before they called it quits in 1995. Moder, 33, was still married to makeup artist Vera Steinberg--his wife of five years--when he began dating Roberts. He filed for divorce in the spring and it was finalized last month. Roberts and Moder hooked up after her much-publicized split with Benjamin Bratt last year, making their first public appearance in April at the Taos Talking Picture Festival. Moder and Roberts first met two years ago while both were working on The Mexican. Getting Roberts to settle down was a major coup for Moder. The actress, who won her Oscar for Erin Brockovich and starred in such hits as My Best Friend's Wedding, America's Sweethearts, Pretty Woman, Notting Hill and Ocean's Eleven, has been through enough long-term boyfriends and almost-husbands to prompt comparisons to her role in Runaway Bride. In 1988, she moved in with Liam Neeson after costarring with him in Satisfaction. Two years later, it was Steel Magnolias costar Dylan McDermott, to whom she was engaged briefly. Roberts came closer to walking down the aisle in 1991 with Flatliners costar Kiefer Sutherland, but the pair broke things off just before the wedding, and she wound up in the arms of Jason Patric. After her marriage with Lovett crumbled, her off-screen leading men have included Daniel Day-Lewis, Matthew Perry and Bratt. (Bratt has since married actress Talisa Soto and the two are expecting their first child.) There is no immediate word on the newlyweds' honeymoon plans. Roberts will soon be making the rounds to promote Soderbergh's drama Full Frontal, which costars David Duchovny and Blair Underwood and is due out August 2. -E! Online Her friends thought they were gathering for a late-night drink. Some would probably have preferred to just hit the hay. After all, July 3 had already been a full day: In the past 24 hours 60 or so family members and close pals, answering an invitation to "celebrate Independence Day," had boarded planes in Manhattan, Atlanta and L.A., en route to Julia Roberts's 82-acre ranch in Taos, N.Mex. In 86° heat they had passed hours chatting by the pool, playing football and basketball and eating homemade turkey Roberts had cooked up that afternoon. When, come nightfall, some mentioned going to sleep, Roberts simply urged them to "hang around," says a pal. By midnight it was an expectant bunch (some holding sleepy toddlers) who sank into an assortment of lawn chairs arranged in a semicircle outside the 19th-century morada -- a small adobe religious meeting house -- on her property. The sight of flickering candles and Chinese lanterns signaled something was up. But not until Roberts and her beau, Danny Moder, stepped under an arch made from white and pink silk sheaths and into a circle of scattered red, white and pink rose petals did most guests understand what exactly was about to happen. As the realization spread, "there was a cheer, a sort of wave of cheers that echoed against the mountains," says one close friend. "Danny got down on one knee and said, 'In front of everyone we love, I want to know, will you marry me?' And Julia grabbed her heart and said, 'Yes, yes, yes.' And all the guests were saying 'Yes, yes, yes' along with her. The canopy was billowing. It was such a magical, intimate gathering, it felt like we were eavesdropping, like we were invited into someone's secret." And so with nary a paparazzo in sight, Hollywood's Bachelorette No. 1 decided once again to take on marriage -- and this time she wore shoes. But nine years after the barefoot 25-year-old stunned fans with her wedding to country singer Lyle Lovett, flat sandals were the bride's only nod to formality. Let pals Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have their 50,000 flowers, four bands and fireworks. The 20-minute ceremony between the Oscar-winning Roberts, 34, and L.A. cameraman Moder, 33 -- officiated by Roberts's longtime friend and lawyer Barry Hirsch -- included no flower girls, no bridesmaids, no groomsmen and no celebrity guests. Just the outline of the 13,000-ft. Sangre de Cristo Mountains against the star-filled sky. And Roberts, in a pale pink cotton halter dress embroidered with pearls and antique beads and hand-painted with flowers, and Moder, in a red ruffled shirt and tan pants, exchanging simple handwritten vows. -Read the rest on People.com |
