Dame Kristin Scott Thomas had a “wonderful” intimate wedding day.
The fiercely-private actress married for the second time last year, to journalist John Micklethwait, and she’s revealed they had a very small celebration with just their own children from previous relationships and their own siblings in attendance.
The Slow Horses star told The Times newspaper: \u201cIt was so nice because it was just us and our children and siblings. No nephews and nieces. No cousins. I\u2019d recommend anyone who\u2019s thinking about marrying to do it with only your really nearest and dearest. Wonderful!
“Just thinking about it makes my heart swell. Every time I look at the pictures I think, \u2018Ah\u2026\u2019 It was just so affectionate and lovely. Completely brilliant.\u201d
The 65-year-old actress – who has three children with first husband Fran\u00e7ois Olivennes – wore a cream A-line Valentino dress with buttons up the front, which she had bought long before she met John.
She said: “[I was shopping with my sister] eight years ago, way before I met John. She said, \u2018You\u2019ve got to get that.\u2019 I said, \u2018When am I going to wear a cream dress?\u2019
“But it had my name written all over it, so I bought it and it sat in the cupboard with its tag still on, unworn.
” And then when I got asked to marry, I thought, \u2018Oh bloody hell, now I\u2019ve got to go and look for a dress.\u2019 Then, \u2018I\u2019ve got it already!\u2019 And I splashed out and got a very, very, very pretty hat made.\u201d
Kristin described remarrying in her 60s as a “triumph of experience over hope”.
She gushed: \u201cI would say it\u2019s a triumph of experience over hope. I don\u2019t know how to describe it without going mushy, but to have two hearts, two brains, two minds, two energies all striving for the same thing is fantastic.
“What you\u2019re looking for when you\u2019re in your fifties and sixties is very different from what you\u2019re looking for in your twenties, when you want to make babies and you\u2019ve got the dream of a family thing going on.
“I\u2019ve worked out what\u2019s worth paying attention to and what the really important things in my life are and I\u2019ve found someone who thinks the same things. So it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
