Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban tie the knot

Nicole Kidman wed Keith Urban in a traditional Catholic ceremony at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in St. Patrick’s Estate in Manly, Australia, at sunset on Sunday June 25.

Kidman arrived at the ceremony in a Rolls Royce wearing a strapless gown and veil. The bridal party which included Nicole’s daughter Isabella, sister Antonio, and Antonia’s daughter, Lucia, were close behind in a second Rolls Royce wearing matching dresses. The groom’s party consisted of Keith’s brother, Shane Urban, Marcus Holden and Peter Clarke.

The flowers included anemones, freesias, gardenias, gumnuts, green goddess lilies, hellebores, and orchids, arranged by florist Saskia Havekes of Grandiflora. After the wedding, the flowers were donated to the Sydney Children’s Hospital.

The black tie reception was held at St. Patrick’s Estate, as well, where guests mingled beneath a white tent. In lieu of presents, Urban and Kidman asked that charitable donations be made.

The couple met in January 2005 at a black-tie dinner in Los Angeles sponsored by the Australian government. This is Urban’s first marriage and Kidman’s second marriage. She was previously married to actor Tom Cruise with whom she has two children, Isabella, 13, and Conor, 11.

Longtime family friend and Jesuit priest Father Paul Coleman conducted the ceremony
The priest told reporters earlier this week that he had a “good feeling about their chances.”

“You’ve got to rely on their maturity and knowledge of each other and I’m impressed,” he said. Asked what advice he would give the couple for their marriage, Father Coleman said: “Make time for each other, do romantic things together and never part without kissing.”
