Did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie become "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" on Christmas Day?

 

The unconfirmed rumor¹ du jour（今日特色的） has Hollywood's No. 1 celebrity² couple spiriting their brood off to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean to swap³ "I dos." The Dec. 25 ceremony allegedly took place at designer Donna Karan's Parrot Cay estates, suggests the Telegraph, and those in attendance were said to have included Brad's parents Jane and William Pitt, and his brother Doug and sister Julie.

 

A representative for Pitt's management team did not return a phone call and an e-mail seeking comment Wednesday. And reports about the nuptials⁴（婚礼） all include plenty of caveats⁵（警告，说明） including "maybe," and "possibly" and "might-have-but-might-not-have-so-don't-blame-us-if-it's-not true."

 

But IIT (If It's True), it means Pitt and Jolie managed to pull off the wedding of the century while simultaneously⁶ pulling a fast one over on the media.

 

And while we can't help but feel as if we were robbed of seeing the couple's sartorial⁷ choices for taking that long-awaited trip down the aisle⁸, we can't begrudge⁹ them wanting to express their love without the annoying thump-thump-thump of a paparazzi helicopter hovering¹⁰ overhead.

 

The couple became involved while working on the 2005 action film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," and have spent the last seven years building a life together and raising a family of six. For awhile, Pitt said the couple would not tie the knot until gays and lesbians also had the right to marry. But that resolve softened¹¹ over the years, he said, as the couple's children begged and pleaded for a wedding.

 

The pair announced their engagement in April, and have remained coy about a wedding date.

 

Pitt has been married once before, to Jennifer Aniston. And Jolie has been married twice before, to actors Jonny Lee Miller¹² and Billy Bob Thornton.
