'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."
