Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie started preparations for a huge party at the French home for their secret Wedding. Brad's parents, have arrived at the Chateau Miraval for thw wedding party bash this weekend. It has long been known that the pair was planning to hold their wedding at their £35million estate in the South of France.'Under French law couples have to get married at the town hall. Unlike with a religious wedding, there's no way a couple can hold a civil ceremony at their own home.
After their engagement was announced it was learnt that a huge reception hall was under construction at the Provence home. Aerial images of the site in February showed a large white building being erected next to the quaint chapel. Angelina has been married twice before - to British actor Jonny Lee Miller between 1996 and 1999 and then Billy Bob Thornton, from 2000 to 2003.
Brad's marriage to Jennifer Aniston lasted five years before they announced they were divorcing in early 2005 - which came after he had met Angelina on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.
Brangelina - as they became known - quickly became a Hollywood power couple, with a brood of six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, five-year-old Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, aged three.But Brad recently admitted he didn't feel they'd be to wait that long because of mounting pressure from their children.
'It seems to mean more and more to our kids,' he said in January.
'We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to get married till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out … it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.'
Angelina has also said that their children often ask why they aren't married like 'Shrek and Fiona'.
She said just months ago: 'We've explained to them that our commitment, when we decided to start a family, was the greatest commitment you could possibly have.
'Once you have six children, you're committed.'
