'Entertainment Tonight' - November 1998
I have transcribed and done screen captures of the 'Entertainment Tonight' coverage of Kate's and Jim's wedding/reception.
Co-host Mary Hart: "'Titanic' star Kate Winslet pulled off a titanic surprise over the weekend, saying 'I do' to her real life love in a fairytale wedding.
Showered in rose petals, Kate Winslet and her husband, James Threapleton emerged from the parish church of All Saints."
Kate [smiling, to photographers]: "We fooled you, we fooled you."
Hart: "The English press didn't find out about the surprise nuptials until they were halfway over. The couple, who have known each other for about a year, met on a film set. The bride wore a luminous silk gown designed by Englishman Alexander McQueen for Givenchy. The dress was covered in antique crystals and rhinestone beads, and she wore a pearl pendant on her forehead. Emma Thompson was among the estimated 100 guests, and Kate's family priest officiated the traditional Anglican service."
Father Mortiboys: "I baptized Kate, I blessed the marriage of her parents, I prepared her for confirmation, and now I've married her."
Reporter [at window of limo]: "How does it feel to be married? Good day for you?"
Kate: "Absolutely wonderful, absolutely wonderful."
Reporter: "Congratulations."
Kate: "Thank you."
Reporter: "Where are you off to now - honeymoon?"
Kate: "Ah, not telling!"
Hart: "The couple then partied the night away at the Crooked Billet country pub."
Reporter Kate Coyne [in newsroom]: "Kate's very proud of being an English girl, and her reception showed that in great measure. She had bangers and mash, which is a traditional English dish. It's really just sausages and mashed potatoes."
Reporter outside Crooked Billet asked for the couple's feelings.
Jim: "Fantastic."
Kate: "It's just, like, amazing, the most amazing day of our lives."
Hart: "Inside, guests danced the same Irish jig Kate danced in 'Titanic,' and the bride admitted the service was profoundly moving."
Kate [as Jim looks at her adoringly]: "Just exchanging of the vows, I think, was just incredible, incredible, really."
Hart: "Congrats to those two."
