Jennifer Aniston has married long-time love and fiance of three years, Justin Theroux, in a super-secret wedding ceremony in Los Angeles.

The couple pulled off the surprise wedding by using an empty neighbouring mansion as a decoy.

The $10.7 million Bel Air home was used as a staging area for the nuptials and, at the last minute, everything was secretly transported to Jen and Justin’s mansion via a hidden path between the two properties.

Guests were told they’d be attending Justin’s surprise forty-fourth birthday and vendors were told to park their vehicles away from Jen’s property. Moblie phones were also banned.

The bride, 46, and groom exchanged vows in front of a small contingent of about 70 friends and family before partying the night away on the grounds of the couple’s Bel Air home.

Guests included Friends co-stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, as well as the bride’s bestie, talk-show host Chelsea Handler, Howard Stern, Jason Bateman, Emily Blunt, Ellen DeGeneres , Portia de Rossi and Jimmy Kimmel.

Guests were told it was a birthday party for Justin. Jen and Justin wanted to surprise guests and guests were certainly surprised,” People magazine reported.

“Jen has been very good at keeping her wedding planning secret. Only her closest confidants knew that the party was actually a surprise wedding.”

Jen, whose first marriage to actor Brad Pitt ended a decade ago, met Justin on the set of Tropic Thunder in 2008, however, she and Justin didn’t start dating until 2012 when they co-starred in the film Wanderlust. They become engaged later that year.

We’re so happy for the newlyweds who jetted off for their honeymoon the day after their secret nuptials.
