Wonderful!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The star continues, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to her wedding dress, it appears fate had already determined marriage would one day be on the horizon, even if Kristin was adamant it wouldn&#8217;t be.<\/p>\n<p>The A-line Valentino dress the actress wore for her big day, was already hanging in her wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;d bought it eight years before meeting her new husband while shopping with her sister, and purchased it on a whim after falling in love with it, despite not knowing when she&#8217;d get to wear it.<\/p>\n<p>After her sister pushed her to buy it, Kristin recalls asking, &#8220;when am I going to wear a cream dress?&#8221; but still bought it. When her wedding was confirmed, she said to herself, &#8220;oh bloody hell, now I\u2019ve got to go and look for a dress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then, she realised her wedding dress of dreams was sitting in her wardrobe, unworn, and complete with tags. &#8220;I\u2019ve got it already!&#8221; she quickly realised of the dress she&#8217;d wear on her big day, adding, &#8220;and I splashed out and got a very, very, very pretty hat made.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was clearly meant to be. &#8220;I hadn\u2019t imagined getting married again,&#8221; she reiterates, before concluding, sweetly, &#8220;not at all. Especially not here. I don\u2019t know what I imagined, but I\u2019d been living in Paris for 22 years and I never thought I\u2019d come back and marry an Englishman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.womanandhome.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When her 17-year marriage to French fertility specialist Fran\u00e7ois Olivennes came to an end in 2005, Kristin Scott Thomas vowed not to get wed again and even thought she might remain single for the rest of her life.
