It’s already the second day when Reese Witherspoon is Mrs. Toth!
As UsMagazine has learned from the actress’s rep, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth became husband and wife in a ceremony late Saturday at Witherspoon’s ranch in Ojai, Calif. The 35-year-old actress wore a custom-designed gown by Monique Lhuillier.
History: Witherspoon was first married to actor Ryan Phillippe, 36, from 1999 to 2007. Before she met Toth she was engaged in a relationship with another actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, 30. Toth, 40, had never been married before.
They exchanged their vows in front of 120 guests among whom were Renee Zellweger, Tobey Maguire, and Alyssa Milano, while Heather Rosenfield, the bride’s BFF, acted as matron of honor. Also present were Witherspoon’s children from her first marriage, 11-year-old daughter Ava and 7-year-old son Deacon. Her nieces were flower girls.
History: the couple started dating last January. Toth works for the Creative Artists Agency that also represents Witherspoon, but they didn’t know one another professionally. Their engagement was officially confirmed by the actress’s rep on December 28 to Us.
Toth and the children’s march was hailed with the “Tennessee Waltz”, and when Witherspoon appeared in the aisle, “Here Comes the Bride” played. The bride and the groom exchanged wedding bands created by jeweler William Goldberg. The ceremony that lasted under half an hour was presided over by Reverend Jimmy Bartz, founder of Thad’s church in Santa Monica, the holy house regularly attended by the couple.
History: early in January Witherspoon was seen at a Laker’s Game wearing an engagement ring – another William Goldberg creation, with a 4-carat Ashocka cut diamond. The ring’s worth was estimated at $250,000.
The newlyweds’ friends and acquaintances believe them to be a perfect pair. Toth is known as “a very confident guy” who has already established good relations with Witherspoon’s children, and is ready and willing to give his wife the care and security she expects from the marriage. By the words of an inside source quoted by Us, “They feel like they’ve hit the jackpot in this relationship!”
Venue: the 6-acre Ojai ranch is the actress’s long-time country sanctuary where she retreats to tend the garden and farm animals, including horses, donkeys and pigs.
