Kate Moss American Vogue September 2011 Wedding Issue
August 11, 2011 by Hollywoodite
There were rumours weeks ago in Page Six that Kate Moss would cover the September 2011 American Vogue. Weirdly, that looked unlikely. Moss covered British Vogue in August, making the American issue less special, and the supposed Lindsay Lohan September Vanity Fair reported in the same article went to Jennifer Lopez (Lohan was probably just bumped because the divorce made a better cover… Lohan was used in Italian Vanity Fair August instead).
Well, Moss’ wedding cover did come true.
The wedding was weeks ago. People have already combed over every detail and we’ve seen photos from the wedding by Terry Richardson. But, for some reason, there needs to be more; more photos, more combing over details, and an interview. It’s an uneventful interview about her non-existent pre-wedding drama.
On the wedding proposal by Jamie Hince: “We were just so loved up, and he asked me to marry him every day.” But it was curling up together in front of the compelling British television documentary series Big Fat Gypsy Weddings that appears to have sealed the deal. “I am so romantic about Gypsies,” Kate explains. “They’re not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius. I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let’s do it!”
On pre-wedding stress: In the pictures you can feel the love, but off-camera nerves are fragile. The groom-to-be “is terrified,” says Kate. His prospective bride is in denial. “Let’s put it this way,” she says. “If I didn’t have my friends. . . . I don’t know how people do it. I’ve had big birthday parties, and I’ve thrown parties for other people, but this is a completely different thing. It’s the Met Ball! Because you have to look at every piece of cutlery; the details are intense. And then you wake up thinking about the ballet shoes for the girls; is the satin ribbon right? I’ve gone mental. Jamie thinks I’m mad, asking, ‘Are you gonna be all right? After the wedding, I’m hoping you’ll get back to normal!’”
The only drama of the day: She had originally wanted to get married in the enchanting twelfth-century church at the bottom of her garden, but as it proved too small even for her intimate wedding party (138 guests have been invited to the church ceremony; 39 of those are children), she decided on St. Peter’s Church, in the neighboring village of Southrop, where Lila Grace, her eight-year-old daughter with journalist Jefferson Hack, was christened. – via Vogue, Celebitchy.
There was no drama, right? A wedding with no drama except the original venue was too small for 138 people. Meh.
Mario Testino was a guest at the wedding as he was for the royal wedding. Because that’s a thing now. Be British and be in the public eye and he’ll be your wedding photographer. Below are the photo he took, including the cover.
