Alec Baldwin, 54, has officially tied the knot with Hilaria Thomas, 28. The couple married in St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York City on Saturday, June 30.
"It was lovely, beautiful, and we're looking forward to a long, happy marriage," the groom's brother, Stephen told The New York Post. He also called his new sister-in-law, "very humble, very sweet, very down-to-earth and very charming," according to Yahoo. Alec and Stephen's brother Billy was in attendance, as was Baldwin's 16-year-old daughter Ireland. Ireland's mother is actress Kim Bassinger, who was married to Baldwin for eight years, until 2002.
Others on the 200-person guest list included celebrities like Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels, Woody Allen, Mariska Hargitay, and Robert Kennedy Jr, who gave a toast at the reception. The post-ceremony celebration was on the top floor of NYU's Kimmel Center. Both Baldwin and Thomas were students at NYU.
The occasion was kept very private, with the married couple being shielded from photographers with bodyguards, umbrellas, or -- in one instance -- flowers. None of the guests were issued any printed invitations, and cell phones were banned at the wedding ceremony. People will still be able to see pictures of Thomas's Amsale gown, a company that her mother and Ireland also wore on that day, and Baldwin's Tom Ford tuxedo in People magazine. The couple sold pictures of their nuptuals to the magazine exclusively, though the price for the pictures is unknown.
Thomas teaches yoga, a skill which Baldwin says he hopes will pay the bills after his hit series 30 Rock wraps this fall. "I keep telling my future wife that I want her to get rich because I want to retire. I want her to become the world's first billionaire yoga teacher," he told Wonderwall aththe Los Angeles premiere of his new movie, Rock of Ages. "I know it is a long shot, but that's the plan I'm sticking with right now. I want to have a baby and stay home and make the pancakes before I send my wife out to work every day to pay the bills."
This is Thomas's first marriage and Baldwin's second.
