19-09-2018

It's likely that you and your betrothed might just find yourselves swayed by the lure of getting married in France. After all, the country is synonymous with romance – not to mention beautiful châteaus in which you can say ‘I do’. If you do make the decision to tie the knot in France, you should know that you’ll be following the lead of some of the history’s most famous couples. With this in mind, let’s look at three pairs who decided to get hitched in France.

Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson

It’s the love story that still captures the world’s imagination to this day. Edward VIII was the king who literally gave up his throne because he couldn’t bear the thought of living his life without Wallis Simpson as his wife. Following a media frenzy, the couple exchanged vows at a stunning château six miles to the south of Troyes in France in 1937. France, it quickly came to be known, offered the pair the perfect start to married life.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Hollywood’s number one power couple somehow managed to escape the spotlight when they tied the knot in 2014. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – who by that point had been romantically linked for the better part of a decade – got hitched during a private ceremony held in a château in the South of France.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher

Celebrity couples don’t come much more relatable than Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. The two film stars have always come across as very down to earth – and this was just what their wedding was when they tied the knot in front of family and friends in Paris in 2010. It was an intimate ceremony that further demonstrated romance of France.
