Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to wed on cruise ship

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are to wed on a ship chartered by the Queen. The couple were to marry at their French estate Château Miraval later this summer, but have changed their minds thanks to their son Maddox, 11, and are now looking to tie the knot aboard the Hebridean Princess cruise instead, which sails across the Scottish Isles. A source told The Sun: “It was Maddox who came up with the idea of the ship. He came across it after looking back at photos of the Carnell Estate in Ayrshire, where they stayed and all loved. So now they’ve made enquiries into booking the whole vessel. It’s just what they’re after. It can hold up to 50 of their friends and family, and serves as a traditional, romantic setting — all totally private. Or they could always sail to a secluded bay off the Orkney or Shetland islands and have the ceremony there.” The source added: “The fact that Maddox found it makes it more special.”

The luxury ship has been used by the British Monarch on two occasions – in 2006 to celebrate her 80th birthday and again in 2010 for a family holiday with Prince Philip.  Having this ceremony on board could force the pair – who have children Maddox, Pax, nine, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – to fork out around £300,000. Ken Charleson, chief operating officer of the ship’s owners, Hebridean Island Cruises, said: “We have a very confidential relationship with a number of high-profile guests. I can’t confirm whether they have been making enquiries or not. But of course, they are more than welcome.”

    Ya, so it’s like the hundredth time there’s been dates set or times and locations. Keeping the paparazzi on their toes. And how’s it private if everyone is apparently being informed of it?

    It’s just the tabloid media making up the wedding stories.

    When tabloids runs out of stories they always make up stories about Brad and Angelina.

    What a totally misleading headline! I was about to be appalled that Her Majesty, head of the Anglican Church would have anything to do with more attention mongering by these self-involved people who have been shamelessly living in sin despite their 6 children together. Then I realized they (allegedly) plan to marry on a ship ONCE chartered by the Queen.
