THE actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, the Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, arrived in Scotland yesterday for the wedding of their daughter Apple’s godfather.
Paltrow, 32, who has starred in Shakespeare in Love, The Talented Mr Ripley and Sylvia, wore a light pink jacket and dress and appeared relaxed and happy as she carried her 14-month-old daughter into the church.
The toddler, wearing a white dress, almost stole the bride’s thunder as she ran up and down the aisle. The actor Simon Pegg, 35, who appeared in the British horror comedy Shaun of the Dead and Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People, married the East Kilbride-born Maureen McCann, 35, who works in public relations, at St Simon’s Catholic Church in Glasgow’s west end.
Fran Healy and Dougie Payne, from the rock band Travis, and the Little Britain comedian David Walliams were among the many celebrities who attended the 30-minute service.
Other guests included the television actresses Tamzin Outhwaite and Katy Carmichael, and Kelly Macdonald, who shot to fame in the British films Trainspotting and Gosford Park.
Martin’s fellow Coldplay members Guy Berryman and Jonny Buckland, and the stand-up comic Bill Bailey, were also at the service.
About 100 people attended the wedding ceremony, which was delayed by almost an hour when the zip on the bride’s wedding dress burst and had to be mended. The best man Nick Frost calmed Pegg’s nerves and joked with guests that he might have to marry his friend instead.
Speaking to reporters outside the church, Frost said: “I’m really not very nervous because I know I’m organised and I had the rings. It’s great to see the two of them marry.”
The guests celebrated the wedding in Glasgow last night.
