daniel craig and rachel weisz on the red carpet
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz were thinking so low-key when they got hitched at the weekend that they only invited four guests. As the couple took their vows they had four witnesses, two of which were their respective children - who are, unfortunately, unlikely to spill the beans about their parent's wedding. So, we hear you ask, how do we know that the ceremony took place?
Well, Rachel and Daniel's reps both confirmed that the couple tied the knot, and that the pair began seeing eachother at the end of last year before spending Christmas snuggled up in Somerset together.
Of course we should have known that Daniel, who laughs at his own sex symbol status, would want a modest affair.
Congratulations Rachel and Daniel!

Denise Van Outen and Lee Mead
TV presenter Denise Van Outen married Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead on a beach in the Seychelles on 25 April 2009. A friend admitted that Denise: “Went away last weekend telling people she was simply going on holiday. It was literally just her parents, his parents and a couple of her best pals who were there.” Newspapers printed pictures of 35-year-old Denise looking radiant, wearing a gorgeous strapless, white dress, and a ’70s-inspired headband. Denise could barely contain her excitement during the ceremony, held in full view of other guests at the Labriz Ilhouette luxury resort and afterwards the happy couple were seen kissing on a boat. Denise and Lee started dating in November 2007, after meeting on BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do talent show, which 27-year-old Mead won, landing the lead role in the musical Joseph.

Peaches Geldof marries in Las Vegas
19-year-old Peaches Geldof married 23-year-old American singer Max Drummey in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas in early August, while they were on holiday. Although the couple originally didn't want any publicity about the wedding, a statement was issued because of growing media speculation. The pair originally met two years ago, but the romance only began in July when Drummey's band Chester French played the iTunes Festival, which Peaches presented. Peaches's publicist said that the marriage had the full support of their family and friends including her father Sir Bob Geldof, who was told shortly before it happened, and Peaches's ex-boyfriend singer Faris Badwan.

Nick is the son of famous Los Angeles casting director Benny Cannon. Talking about her new hubby, Mariah said, "It was a love-at-first-sight thing. Since we've been together, we've been inseparable." Mariah has a new tattoo that reads ‘Mrs Cannon' – just in case she forgets who she is.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's secret wedding
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s secret island wedding couldn’t be more different from his previous high-profile engagement with Latin megastar Jennifer Lopez. J.Lo and Ben, known in the media as Bennifer, were all about bling and glamour, and made numerous appearances on the red carpet. Ben even appeared J.Lo’s video for her 2002 single, Jenny From The Block. But it was another story when Ben quietly married fellow actress Jennifer Garner, who he met on the set of Daredevil, in the West Indies on 29 June 2005. There were none of the bride or groom’s family at the ceremony, and after the wedding Ben and Jen, who was four months pregnant at the time, were spotted relaxing on the island just enjoying each other’s company. Ben and Jennifer had a baby girl, Violet, on 1 December 2005.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James's secret wedding
Guests at Speed star Sandra Bullock’s nuptials didn’t know there was a wedding in store when they were invited to a birthday barbeque at Sandra’s ranch in California on 26 July 2004.

So over 250 guests had a happy surprise when bagpipers led them to a wooded grove to watch Sandra - dressed in an Angel Sanchez gown and cowboy boots - exchange vows with celebrity motorbike fanatic Jesse James.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's secret wedding
Pop star Britney Spears’ marriage to backing dancer Kevin Federline was not the first time she’d married in secret. She wed childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas on 3 January 2004 – the marriage was annulled 55 hours later. Her second surprise wedding was held eight months later in Kevin Federline’s garden in Studio City, California. The wedding party, who were asked to sign affidavits saying they wouldn’t take photos, were dressed in tracksuits with ‘pimps’ or ‘maids’ written on them. Later, multi-millionaire Britney, Kevin and their guests moved on to a Sunset Strip nightclub, where they paid for their own drinks. Class.

Julia Roberts and Danny Moder's secret wedding
In 1991, Runaway Bride star Julia Roberts famously ditched Brat Pack actor Kiefer Sutherland three days before their wedding. Ten years later she was accused of getting cold feet again when she broke-up with fiancé, Benjamin Bratt, who had apparently given her an ultimatum to set a wedding date or else. So it’s no wonder that in 2002, Julia decided to marry her cameraman boyfriend Danny Moder away from the prying eyes of the media. The ceremony took place at Julia’s 40-acre ranch in Tao, New Mexico at midnight on 4 July, with 50 or so family and friends who had been asked to come to an Independence Day party. One black and white photo from the wedding was released to the media. Danny and Julia now have three children, three-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, and one-year-old Henry.

Around 40 unsuspecting guests were invited to a party, but little did they know they’d be attending J.Lo’s nuptials. Extra TV reported that Jennifer wore $7m worth of jewellery and an off-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana dress, with the ceremony taking place at around 6pm in the garden of Jen’s estate.

Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney's secret wedding
Bridget Jones star Renee Zellweger shocked fans around the world when they found out she had married country singer Kenny Chesney in a secret beach ceremony in the Virgin Islands in May 2005. Renee and Kenny first met at a Tsunami charity fundraiser in January of that year. Barefoot on the beach, the bride wore a Carolina Herrera dress, the groom a black Stetson for the 15-minute ceremony. There was no time for a honeymoon as Kenny had a gig scheduled just three days later. The marriage lasted as long as the courtship – four months, with Renee annulling the union on grounds of fraud. There was much speculation over what the ‘fraud’ was – including that Kenny might be gay – but in the end he explained that the pair decided to cite fraud because it was simply the "least harmful" reason that the law allowed to dissolve the marriage. Later Renee told Us magazine that marrying Kenny was the “worst mistake of my life”.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's secret wedding
Iron Man star Gwyneth Paltrow announced her first pregnancy with boyfriend Coldplay frontman Chris Martin on 3 December 2003, and two days later the pair wed in a top secret ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. There were no family members at the wedding, not even Gwyneth’s mother, Meet The Fockers actress Blythe Danner. Chris is open with the press about the fact that he hates the paparazzi, and has even come to blows with photographers a few times, so it’s not surprising that he chose to marry in secret. The couple, who met backstage at a Coldplay concert, now have two children, daughter Apple, four, and son Moses, two.
