That’s right, after a seriously short (by their standards anyway) courtship, Daniel Craig 43, and Rachel Weisz 41, reportedly stood before a judge in New York on Wednesday June 22 with only four people present.  Aside from two unnamed friends, the only other witnesses to the surprise nuptials were Craig’s daughter Ella, from his first marriage to Fiona Loudon, and Weisz’s five year old son, Henry, from her relationship with director Darren Aronofsky.

Okay, raise your hand if you saw THAT coming! I have to admit I’m one of those people who think they make a gorgeous couple, but come on! If I were Satsuki Mitchell or Darren Aronofsky, I think I’d be PISSED!  Daniel Craig was with Mitchell for five years and reportedly engaged.  Aronofsky and Weisz were definitely engaged for most of their eight and a half year relationship, not to mention they have a kid together. When they split, it wasn’t so much a ‘break up’ as it was a divorce, lack of a license not withstanding. As Meg Ryan said in When Harry Met Sally, the first relationship you have after a big breakup isn’t supposed to be “the one”, they’re supposed to be your “transition person”.

Both Craig and Weisz have films coming out this year, separately and together. Craig has the upcoming Cowboys & Aliens, as well as The Adventures of Tintin and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo while Weisz has The Whistleblower, The Deep Blue Sea and Page Eight.  Despite the fact that they supposedly began their relationship when they worked together on director Jim Sheridan’s (In the Name of the Father, In America)Dream House, Both are very private people, so it really seems out of character for both of them for this to be a publicity stunt. (kidding! Of course it’s not. This is the real deal and I know they’ll last forever. What? You don’t think I’m serious?)

Congratulations to the happy couple. I wish the newlyweds every happiness!
