Jools Holland Weds in England

Who: musician Jools Holland, formerly of the '80's band Squeeze, and sculptor Christabel McEwen

When: August 30, 2005

Where: The couple, who have been together for fifteen years, pledged their eternal love inside St. James Church in Cooling, Kent, England.

The Ceremony: While rumored guests Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles were not in attendance, a cavalcade of stars from the worlds of music, movies and television were among the 200 guests to arrive at St. James Church to witness the ceremony. The guest list included Ringo Starr and '60's pop star Lulu, Robbie Coltrane (better known to Harry Potter fans as Hagrid) and comedians familiar to PBS viewers, such as "The Vicar of Dibley" star Dawn French, Lenny Henry of "Chef!" and Jennifer Saunders from "Absolutely Fabulous." As the 13th century house of worship, which was immortalized in the pages of the Charles Dickens classic "Great Expectations," is no longer in use, the bride and groom were required to obtain a special licence to hold their wedding in the venue of their dreams.

The Dress: A garland of blossoms lightly rested on the heads of two small flower girls, who walked down the aisle of the church in ballerina-length dresses ahead of the bride and groom's 14 year old daughter, acting as the maid of honor. The congregation rose when the bride entered, wearing a midi length, off-white dress with short illusion sleeves and gold embroidery embellishments. A bouquet of cream-colored roses harmonized with the cluster of flowers in the bride's hair, to which an elbow-length veil was attached. The groom looked dapper in a classic black top hat and tails.

The Reception: Guests later converged at Cooling Castle for the reception.
