Are they already married? - 09/12/03
Rumours are flying thick and fast that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have apparently wed in secret.

We knew that they had applied for a marriage license in Santa Barabra, but now it appears the pair may have gone one better and married soon after getting the license. The Sun has reported that the couple took their vows at the Santa Barbara register office, where they both wore simple outfits for the 10-minute ceremony.

Later on they flew to Mexico, where they are staying in an exclusive beach complex. Chris had apparently asked for the hotel room to be filled with Gwyneth’s favourite flowers. It is said that the couple are expected to have a lavish blessing of their wedding later this week after renting five more large villas for family and friends. But of course, this could all be rumours to detract us from the real wedding, whenever that takes place! Agh - too much!
