Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced to the world yesterday they were finally husband and wife, after marrying over the weekend in France.

The couple kept the ceremony as low-profile as possible, as a source reveals to Us Weekly that it came as a 'total surprise" to some of their friends.



"This was a total surprise, but something they were obviously planning on doing when the time was right," they explained.

"Everyone is happy for them. It was small and family and friends only, just like they wanted. I'm happy they pulled it off. We all consider them married anyway, but now it's official."

As reported yesterday, Brangelina married at Chateau Miraval where the couple’s children took part in the wedding, with Maddox and Pax walking with Jolie down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne on petal throwing duty and Shiloh and Knox acting as ring bearers.

It is thought that Jolie's Dad, Jon Voight, didn't know about the wedding, though he has now released a statement say he's 'very happy' for them.

"It sounds like it was a wonderful wedding. It must have been very beautiful with the kids participating. I know it was during Emmy weeks and they were able to do it very quietly," Jon told E! News.

"I'm very happy for them," he concluded.
