Friends" TV star Matt LeBlanc marries in Hawaii
Tue May 6,10:29 AM ET
KAUAI, Hawaii May 5 (AFP) - Actor Matt LeBlanc, one of the stars of the hit US television series "Friends", married his longtime girlfriend at a star-studded ceremony in Hawaii at the weekend.
LeBlanc, 35, who plays the dim-witted but loveable Joey in the show now entering its 10th and final season, tied the knot with former model Melissa McKnight in a romantic clifftop wedding overlooking a Hawaiian beach.
His Los Angeles-based publicist Joel Libonati confirmed the wedding took place Saturday, but did not provide details of the ceremony.
Wedding guests said the ceremony took place at sunset under tight-security, with lighting provided by traditional tiki torches.
The 38-year-old bride wore a white sheath dress with plunging back, while LeBlanc, who earns around a million dollars per half-hour episode of "Friends," was clad in a classic black suit and adorned with a traditional lei of white flowers around his neck.
Despite attempts to keep the wedding under wraps, paparazzi helicopters hovered noisily over the heads of the 75 guests, including "Friends" co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox-Arquette and Lisa Kudrow.
Aniston's superstar husband Brad Pitt (news - web sites) and fellow co-stars Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer were not present at the intimate ceremony, witnesses said.
"The open tent was filled with the scent of gardenias, and rose petals
covered the pathway to the altar," said one guest.
The couple were flanked by McKnight's two young children.
After the ceremony and a traditional Hawaiian blessing, guests enjoyed a full sit-down dinner that included toasts with Dom Perignon champagne, Polynesian dancing and a live band.
