In a delightful twist, what was thought to be a grand house party hosted by Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux on Wednesday turned out to be a surprise wedding, according to entertainment reports.

The couple, who first met on the set of Tropic Thunder in 2008 and later starred together in Wanderlust (2012), chose to tie the knot in a private ceremony at their Bel Air, California home.

The surprise wedding was attended by a select group of close friends and family, including Aniston’s Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow, comedian Chelsea Handler, and radio host Howard Stern. Initial rumors had circulated that the gathering was a surprise birthday celebration for Theroux. However, it was soon revealed that it was actually an intimate wedding ceremony.

Aniston, 46, and Theroux, 43, announced their engagement in August 2012 after dating for over a year. The ceremony was a closely guarded secret, adding an element of surprise to the special occasion.

Jennifer Aniston remains one of Hollywood’s most prominent stars, with recent roles in We’re the Millers, Cake, and Horrible Bosses 2. Justin Theroux is well-known for his role in the television drama The Leftovers and has previously appeared in Parks and Recreation, John Adams, and Six Feet Under.

This marriage marks Aniston’s second; she was previously married to actor Brad Pitt, from whom she divorced in 2005. For Theroux, this is his first marriage.
