14 DAY TRIAL // After dating for a little over 3 years, singer Robbie Williams and US actress Ayda Field tied the knot a few days ago in front of 60 guests, friends and family. The first official pic is out.
Photographers were not allowed at the ceremony that took place at Williams’ Beverly Hills home because the couple had agreed to sell exclusive rights to the pictures to Hello magazine, the Telegraph informs.
In fact, the wedding was not a traditional one, since not even the guests knew they were about to attend Robbie’s nuptials to Ayda, the woman of whom he’s often said she saved his life.
They were all asked to fly to the US under the pretense of attending a James Bond-themed party – which eventually turned out to be a wedding reception.
The first pic of the happy bride and groom is featured on the cover of the latest print issue of Hello magazine, with a 35-page complete wedding album and plenty of details about the fabulous ceremony.
There was no bachelorette or bachelor party, and the role of bridesmaids was played by Ayda and Robbie’s dogs, all of whom wore collars made of flowers.
The bride looked stunning (as the photo can also confirm) in a multi-layered Monique Lhuillier gown, and had white roses pinned in her hair as well.
It may not have been a traditional wedding but it is what the two lovers wanted, they say in the accompanying Hello interview.
“The only thing that’s traditional about the wedding is the cows,” Williams explains for the British tab.
“Our doggies are taking the bridesmaids’ roles. I was originally thinking little bow ties for them, but instead they’re going to each have flower collars,” the 31-year-old bride chimes in.
“Ayda looked like the most beautiful girl in the world. The setting was so magical, and to be surrounded by family and close friends and then see Ayda appear looking so radiant was almost too much for me to take. I’m the happiest man alive,” the singer gushes.
Since he’s not one of the most beloved pop stars of the day for no reason, Robbie also treated his guests to an impromptu performance of his most famous single to date, the superb ballad “Angels.”
He “brought the house down with a spontaneous performance of his hit songs Angels, which brought guests to their feet for a mass singalong,” Hello writes.
