Sofia Coppola Marries Thomas Mars

“Lost in Translation” director Sofia Coppola married rocker Thomas Mars in Italy yesterday (27.08.11).

Sofia was wearing a custom-made lavender bridal gown as she tied the knot with her long-term partner yesterday on her dad Francis Ford Coppola’s estate in Bernalda in front of around 80 guests, including Johnny Depp and George Lucas.

Village mayor Leonardo Chiruzzi, who performed the ceremony, explained the occasion “went well”.

He said: “Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden. If they wanted to do a Hollywood wedding, they wouldn’t have done it here. They chose to do it here because it’s here – it’s here that is beautiful.”

After the service, the newlyweds and the father of the bride, wearing a white linen suit and pink shirt, popped out of the palazzo briefly to greet onlookers. She was holding a glass of bubbly.

This is the second marriage for Coppola, who has two children, Roma, four, and 15-month-old Cosima with Thomas. She was previously married to fellow filmmaker Spike Jonze.  The two divorced in 2003.
