Rupert Friend says his secret wedding was "perfect".
The ‘Homeland’ actor and former Paralympic athlete Aimee Mullins tied the knot in front of just other people on May 1, 2016, and Rupert was thrilled that they managed to elope with minimal fuss.
Speaking on ‘Live with Kelly’, he said: "It was four people, two of which were Aimee and myself. We eloped. May the 1st.
"We got married in a compost shed at a beautiful farm in the rain – it was the perfect perfect wedding – and then we went and played pool in Manhattan."
And Rupert’s "oldest friend" ordained the wedding.
Rupert, 35, only announced his marriage, on his and Aimee’s one-month anniversary.
Sharing a photo or himself embracing his spouse on their wedding day on Instagram, he wrote: "Today is the one-month anniversary of being happily married to @AimeeMullins #ilovemywife (sic)"
Aimee, 40, also shared a number of pictures from their big day, showcasing her stunning cap-sleeved Olivier Theyskens ivory gown.
On one picture she wrote: "Celebrating one beautiful month of being married to my best Friend! The 1st of May was a gorgeous rainy day with (The Most Reverend!) @eatkinsdiet as our Officiant (The Most Divine) @betonyvernon as our Witness…an elopement in the field got moved into the compost shed. Our kind of magical day.(sic)"
Another was captioned: "Our rainy day wedding in a magical hobbit-y compost shed…vintage silk and muddy booties, a bespoke suit for Rupert with a vibrant blue-purple lining, and champagne all around"
Another picture, a close-up shot of them about to kiss, was simply captioned: "Bliss. Officially."
And the couple – who got engaged in December 2014 – only planned their wedding at short notice.
Aimee wrote: "Yayyyy for the marital compost shed!! And to having a gorgeous dress sent from the inimitable @oliviertheyskens on basically no notice. #elopement (sic)"
Despite being an intimate wedding attended by just a few people, things didn’t go without a hitch.
Aimee – a double amputee and former champion sprinter – shared a picture of her stunning bouquet but admitted: "Wedding bouquet being made the night before at my favorite corner flower stand…too bad I forgot to bring it with me to the actual wedding. #nerves (sic)"
