Hurley does it early, marries Arun Nayar
LONDON: After all the hype and high drama over Liz and Arun Nayar's nuptials, the headline news coming out of the idyllic and stately 15th-century western England wedding venue is 'Hurley does it early'.
The model and actress, hitherto famous more for her safety-pinned, cleavage-baring dresses and doomed romantic liaisons than any histrionic ability, married her Indo-Teutonic beau of four years on Friday, in a secret ceremony that took wedding guests, press and public by surprise.
Local authorities in the English county of Gloucester confirmed (ON SATURDAY) that Hurley married Nayar a day earlier than planned, in an intimate ceremony attended by just two people closest to them.
Celebrity-watchers said the move to "go private" was an extraordinary one for Hurley, who lives her life in the spotlight and whose faltering acting career and more-successful fashion business depend on lots of publicity. But many believe Hurley and Mumbai boy Nayar were focussed - and successful - at outwitting the paparazzi massed outside the irredeemably grand 15th century Sudeley castle complete with original Rubens and Van Dyck paintings, which has been loaned to the actress by a friend for the first leg of a week-long, bi-continental, champagne-fuelled wedding extravaganza expected to cost ã 2 million.
The notoriously celebrity-obsessed magazine 'Hello' is understood to have done a one-million-pound deal with the couple for exclusive rights to cover their wedding even though "the curse of Hello" is supposed to extend to all celebrities incautious enough to encourage its intrusion into their big day. All Hurley and Nayar's guests have signed a confidentiality agreement.
The private wedding was conducted by Anne Williams, county superintendent registrar for Gloucestershire, reportedly in a registry office. The Daily Mirror tabloid quoted a "source" to say "(Liz and Arun) wanted to enjoy their wedding night alone. She lives her life in a goldfish bowl and this was a very precious moment."
But celebrity A-list guests, including Sir Elton John, supermodel Kate Moss, designer Donatella Versace, actress Patsy Kensit and our own home-grown specially-invited socialites from Mumbai such as Arti and Kailash Surendranath, will still get a chance to dance the night away in honour of the newly happily-married couple.
Till the time of writing, it was not clear if Hurley's former, long-term boyfriend Hugh Grant would attend the festivities. Grant, who has just split from heiress Jemima Khan, has already made his only public - and possibly dangerously double-coded - contribution to the wedding of his former girlfriend of 13 years by sponsoring a chimpanzee called " Elizabeth" in London Zoo.
One of the wedding guests told this paper that Nayar was very happy "finally to be married...he's an Indian boy, wants kids and a family".
But at least one other guest acidly added, in a reference to the short life-span of celebrity weddings: "It is extremely nice to get to know Arun, Liz's soon-to-be ex-husband".
On Saturday night, hundreds of Hurley and Nayar's celebrity guests will witness a "blessing" service for a long and happy married life, after which they adjourn to two giant marquees in the castle grounds for a wedding feast imaginatively styled to replicate the one enjoyed by Catherine Parr, the last wife of the much-married King Henry VIII.
Three of the four courses of the lavish feast will boast a well-matched fine-quality wine that even Hurley's now-teetotal new husband might find hard to resist. It was not known, however, if Hurley and Nayar were continuing the theme of a previous big-occasion, 'togetherness' party by serving India's Sula wines to guests in a symbolic bow to Nayar's roots.
The couple - and almost all their guests - embark for Rajasthan late on Sunday night to begin a "traditional" Indian round of wedding festivities with a shocking-pink saris and orange turbans dress code, lots of elephants and horses.
On Saturday, Hurley and Nayar's wedding hang-out had propelled the nearby sleepy town of Winchcombe, set in the magnificent rolling Cotswolds hills, into the unforgiving 24/7 media spotlight and it appeared to have mixed feelings about all the publicity and hoopla.
Though shop and restaurant-owners in Winchecombe were displaying good luck signs for the couple, many residents said they were irritated the "a whole town had been disrupted for the private benefit of a few people".
At least some shops said they resented Hurley's failure to use local suppliers for the wedding feast.
