Scarlett and Sean Make It Official at Reese's Wedding

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 28th 2011 09:05AM

If Reese Witherspoon was starring in a movie this weekend, it would've been titled 'Legally Married,' and by all accounts it was a smash hit. The 35-year-old beauty, who tied the knot with Jim Toth on Saturday, invited a parade of A-listers to watch her I do's, and two of them, Scarlett Johansson and date Sean Penn, darn near stole the show.

"Scarlett is Jim's client, but no one, including the bride, knew she would have turned up with Sean Penn," a friend of Scarlett's tells me. "Turning up at a wedding with your boyfriend is definitely a huge statement, especially that wedding. What it's doing is announcing to the whole of Hollywood that they are serious."

Reese and Jim wed in a private ceremony at Reese's ranch in Ojai, Calif., on Saturday with pre-wedding cocktail taking place before the 20-minute ceremony.

Reese wore a gown designed by Monique Lhuillier, and both her daughter and son with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe -- Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7 -- were part of the nuptials.

Also in attendance at the private wedding were Renee Zellweger, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr. and Alyssa Milano.

Sean, 50, and Scarlett, 26, were first spotted together earlier this year at a party in LA celebrating 'Black Swan.' They were then seen eating together in public with her legs draped over his lap. In early March, they jetted down to Mexico for a whirlwind daylong trip. Both are coming off unsuccessful marriages --to Ryan Reynolds and Robin Wright.

Both camps have stayed remarkably mum about the relationship, but there have been reports that "S-Squared" are next planning a trip to Haiti in the spring. The appearance at Reese and Jim's wedding appears to have been their official coming out to their Hollywood friends.

"Scarlett is head over heals in love with Sean," a friend of the actress tells me. "She normally tries to hide away from public attention, but when she's with Sean she doesn't care."

Penn is after Larry Kings marriage record-- He is on a roll-- Getting married is a favorite Hollywood Pastime=or "Bedtime"--They both have some Jewishness in them- and I think multi-marriges are allowed in their faith- All they have to do is HIRE a RABBI and they could get married to someone every other week-- AND they DO!!!!

She is wayyyyyyyy too pretty for him.

At least I got a chuckle out of his photo.

Looks like he was auditioning for the part of "Jim" on the old series "Taxi."

By kim hert

Oh there you are Sean....I was wondering why you and Martin Sheen aren't protesting Obama getting us into WAR with Libya like you did the Bush years. I thought you were a hypocrite. You're just busy.

celeb stunts...any press is good press when a star feel insecure

LOVE as a celebrity does not mean much. As soon as there is a breakup, the people are 'involved' with another love of their lives. Stupid.

By nodakplayer

Frankly scarlet, I don't give a damn.
