Nicole Kindman 的婚礼

Well, it's a chilly¹ Sydney evening, but perfectly² clear. Here in Manly³, a seaside suburb of Sydney, where the wedding of the year has taken place. Nicole Kidman is now officially Mrs. Keith Urban in a beautiful ceremony by all reports. It's taking place in an, in an old historic chapel⁴ and a very traditional Catholic ceremony. There were tears as both the bride and groom⁵ said their vows⁶ and Nicole looked beautiful in a single-sleeved Balenciaga dress and her bridal party, her sister, Antonia, her daughter with Tom Cruise, Isabella, and her niece Rachel all dressed by, by the, by Balenciaga. The church was lit by candles, uh, and there was a great round of applause. Keith did not even wait to be asked if he would like to kiss the bride. He launched straight in.

Ah, when Nicole arrived at the church ahead of this ceremony, her car was mobbed by well-wishers. There were about 500 well-wishers here outside the church, as well as that, of course, the media lurched in. And she looked relaxed and absolutely beaming. Her hair are, straight, not the ringlets we're used to seeing and ur, she was waving and, and clearly absolutely delighted to be here. The reception is now underway and it's been a feast of entertainment, beginning with Hugh Jackman ,who, uh, of course, is a very dear friend of Nic's and he's only just met Keith. But Keith Urbana's favorite song is Centerfield Sadler by Peter Allen, which of course Hugh Jackman performed in the Boy from OZ. And so he got up and performed it at the reception tonight. And again, tears are plenty.

Then Keith performed and he sang his hit song making memory of us and dedicated⁷ it to his new wife. And right now, Neil Fin⁸ is on the stage and he's of course from Crowded House and he is doing a few of the popular numbers there, including four actual feats⁹. The entire reception venue¹⁰ is decorated in red because Nicole wanted it to reflect the color of passion. There are red roses, red velvet¹¹ curtains, chandeliers, and red, and crystal candelabra on each of the tables. Ah, it's been described as looking like something from Moulin Rouge¹².

Speaking of Moulin Rouge, Baez Lehman read one of the lessons during the ceremony from the Bible. But he says he didn't have a hand in designing the wedding. That was all Nicole's vision. Ah, this is set to go into the wee small hours of this morning here in Sydney. This is one wedding no one is going to leave quickly and they're definitely gonna wait for the bride and groom to depart. But some heavy hit in the audience, Russell Crowe and Naomi walked through at the same table. Rupert Murdoch has a team of Fox bigwigs here, so it's a fairly high-power set of proceedings¹³ and then tonight, Nicole and Keith will spend their first night together as man and wife at her new home, her new waterfront apartment here in Sydney before they jet off for their honeymoon¹⁴ on Tuesday. So that's where it's all that at the moment.
