Controller BBC1 Danny Cohen married his
long-term partner Professor
Noreena Hertz at the end of last month. Matron of Honour was Rachel Weisz, accompanied by hubby Daniel Craig - Dan apparently gave the bride some tips on bouquet-holding ahead of the ceremony - and Gina Bellman was one of the bridesmaids. Guests included Charles Saatchi with Nigella Lawson, and Vivienne Westwood, who made the bride's dress.
The ceremony was held in the oldest synagogue still in use in the UK, the
Bevis Marks in the City of London, completed in 1701. It's not far from Danny's old school, City of London.
Noreena's choice of a Westwood creation acknowledges her fashion heritage. Her mother and father set up knitwear company Crochetta in the 1970's, and got a boost when
Paul Michael Glaser wore one of their cardigans in Starsky and Hutch. Noreena last year expressed firm views about other knitwear.
"I grew up in a home where I was literally told from a young age, 'no daughter of mine will ever wash a man's socks', and I am pleased to say I never have."
There's no word on the reception. Did it feature music by Danny's personal favourites,
The Alarm ?
