Carey Mulligan Marries Marcus Mumford: Actress Weds Musician In England

Posted: 04/21/2012 3:21 pm Updated: 04/21/2012 3:21 pm

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford have made things official.

The 26-year-old British actress tied the knot with the Mumford & Sons singer, on Saturday at a farm in Somerset, England, reports Us Weekly.

The couple decided to say "I do" after a nine-month engagement, and exchanged vows in front of 100 guests, including celebrity friends, Sienna Miller, Colin Firth and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Mumford, 24, proposed to Mulligan in August 2011 after just five months of dating but the two had known each other for years.

According to The Sun, the two were childhood pen pals and it was only after they both found success in their respective fields that they got in touch with each other again.

"Carey and Marcus began sending each other letters through their churches when they were kids," an insider told the UK paper in June 2011. "After becoming friends again things got more serious earlier this year and romance blossomed."

Congrats to the happy couple!

They aren't American. I'm sure they'll last a bit longer than that.

You mean they aren't "Hollywood" Americans. I notice the New York couples last a bit longer.

So was Stephen Fry at the wedding?

I'm still nearly convinced that Marcus Mumford *must* be Fry's secret offspring. As deeply improbable as that sounds...

Sorry to burst Ya'lls bubble they aren't gonna last as most industry marriages don't she's a high maitamence girl because she was nominated for an oscar and let it go to her head unlike say Joanne Woodward who won on her first nomination in 1958 and famously said "It's only fun for five minutes until you get back to your seat and realize it's only a statue".

Childhood pen pals? No FaceBook, no Twitter, no texting? High touch is always more human than high tech.
