After two children and more than a half decade of dating, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves finally said their I-Dos in a ceremony at the couple’s Austin home earlier this evening. A cloud of secrecy was to be cast over the event with nondisclosure agreements signed by the entire staff, but not surprisingly, that didn’t stop some of the details from emerging almost immediately.
According to E! News, wedding guests actually arrived for the festivities on Friday. They reportedly spent the night in elegant, air-conditioned mega-tents complete with doormats and patios. A larger white tent was erected in the middle of the estate, housing large wooden tables, assumedly for some kind of awesome meal.
Considering the evening’s activities are still reportedly in full swing, it’s not weird we haven’t heard any firsthand reports yet, but it is a bit strange we even got to this day to begin with. Blended families, divorced families, gay families and unmarried families might be becoming increasingly more common in today’s society, but by pretty much any measure, McConaughey grew up with a strange perception of marriage. His parents were on-again-off-again for thirty-nine-years, marrying, separating, divorcing, dating, marrying, separating, etc until his dad passed in the mid ‘90s.
That crazy life experience had to affect the forty-two-year-old’s own decision-making process. Maybe that’s why he needed two children in order to commit, or maybe that was just a strange coincidence. Either way, I’m confident McConaughey will make this work, but more than a few observers out there are skeptical. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…
