When stars like Ellen DeGeneres and John Krasinski rolled out to Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s Bel Air mansion Wednesday night, they expected to celebrate Justin’s 44th birthday. Instead, they watched the couple get married—surprise!
Apparently, Jen used the birthday party excuse to keep the wedding on the DL, but TMZ knew something was up from the start. On Wednesday afternoon, paparazzi spotted not one, but two clues: a cake being transported into the house and a pastor making his way towards it. The cake didn’t exactly say “birthday,” since it had a couple of muppet-like characters on it, a boy and a girl. But that’s not all it takes to keep an A-list wedding secret: a source told TMZ that a giant shed was built just to hide the furniture (casual!), that staffers weren’t allowed to use their phones for the week and that nobody could park near the property while everything was being set up. Whoa!
From the party pictures that were leaked, the outdoor wedding looks like an absolute fairytale. We are so stoked for the newlyweds. Congrats, Jen and Justin!
