Winchcombe - A posse of photographers and scores of spectators descended on Saturday on a quiet town in western England before a lavish wedding party for model-actress Elizabeth Hurley and businessman Arun Nayar.
Gloucestershire County Council confirmed media reports that the pair married on Friday in a private civil ceremony at Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, west of London.
Hurley, 41, and Nayar, 42, were planning to hold a blessing and party at the castle later on Saturday, with guests including Elton John, Kate Moss and Hurley's ex, Hugh Grant.
Security guards on Saturday patrolled the grounds of the 15th-century castle, set amid the Cotswold hills of western England. A large tent had been erected in the grounds, and a covered walkway led from the gardens to the building.
Hurley and Nayar reportedly have signed a lucrative deal with Hello! magazine for exclusive rights to images of the event.
Several shopfronts in the picturesque town were adorned with signs and notices wishing the couple good luck.
"Obviously, people are out celebrity spotting - I don't think they'll see any but they are out at the thought - and it's just a lot of excitement for the small town of Winchcombe," said butcher Colin Pilcher.
According to reports, the couple will fly to India for celebrations in Mumbai and Rajasthan next week.
