She&#8217;s tolerant. She&#8217;s incredibly tolerant. Unbelievably tolerant. Possibly a candidate for sainthood.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rickman shared the happy news during an interview with German newspaper Bild. He was asked the secret is to his very successful and long-term relationship despite not being married and he replied, &#8220;We are married. Just recently. It was great, because no one was there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the wedding in New York we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and ate lunch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that the wedding ceremony was very low-key and that his new wife didn&#8217;t want an expensive diamond ring, but was content with a $265 ring that &#8220;she never wears.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What a lovely story.
