After a three-year engagement, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are officially husband and wife! The groom, 43, and bride, 45, got married on August 5th at their Bel Air, California home.
People reports that there were about 70 guests in attendance, including fellow Friends alum Lisa Kudrow, Ellen DeGeneres, Chelsea Handler and Howard Stern. Photos obtained by TMZ show that the couple’s backyard was sectioned off into lounging areas, dining tables with ottoman seating, a raised stage, and a bar. The wedding cake featured what looked like adorable Muppet versions of the bride and groom, and a priest holding a Bible was spotted entering the premises.
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Horrible Bosses 2 actress joked that her pals have been on “high alert” since the couple got engaged in 2012. “Our friends Sacha [Baron Cohen] and Isla [Fisher] have shown up for four parties, four little gatherings, [in] beautiful wedding wear. Even for the 4th July last year, Sacha was in a powder blue suit, and Isla was in a little cute dress and we were like, ‘Guys, it’s July 4th, we were in cutoffs, eating hot dogs. We will actually let you know,'” she says. “For Thanksgiving, a friend of mine said, ‘I can’t come this year, but should I?'” she added.
It turns out that their hunch wasn’t too far off! Aniston reportedly tricked everyone by telling them the party was a surprise bash in honor of Theroux’s upcoming 44th birthday on August 10th (which is also their proposal anniversary). They may have been secretive about the big date, but they have openly gushed about their relationship to the press. “I always go to bed thinking I’m the luckiest guy in the world,” Theroux confessed to Extra. Aniston described her beau to Woman’s Wear Daily as being “Graceful and utterly kind and golden…He’s just so beautiful and handsome to me.”

The pair through mutual pal Ben Stiller and their seven-year friendship took a turn for the romantic after they starred together in the movie Wanderlust. Famously, this will be Aniston’s second marriage — she finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005 — and Theroux’s first.
Stay tuned for more details as they emerge…best wishes to the happy newlyweds!
