Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt married on Saturday in France, a spokesman for the couple said.

Jolie and Pitt wed in a small chapel in a private ceremony attended by family and friends.

In advance of the non-denominational civil ceremony, Pitt and Jolie also obtained a marriage licence from a local California judge. The judge also conducted the ceremony in France.

The couple's children took part in the wedding. Jolie walked the aisle with her eldest sons Maddox and Pax. Zahara and Vivienne threw petals, while Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers, the spokesman said.
