London:
Popstar Robbie Williams was so keen on keeping his wedding to actress Ayda Fields a private affair that he chose his eight dogs to act as bridesmaids at the ceremony.
The newlyweds did not want to tell anyone in advance about the ceremony and the 36-year-old singer did not invite his Take That bandmates.
"Our doggies are taking the bridesmaid roles! I was originally thinking little bow ties for them, but instead they're going to have flower collars," Fields said in an interview to Hello magazine.
After considering various venues for the ceremony, they married at home so their pet pooches could be part of the nuptials.
"My idea was, 'Yeah, I love you, I'm yours for life, why don't we just pop to Las Vegas and make it official?' But then I realised how important the day is to Ayda and that she had a day planned in her head," said the Angels hitmaker.
"We were thinking of a beach in the Bahamas, but it's hurricane season in August. Then we thought of a surprise sleepover in Santa Monica, but people have children to think about. We feel safe in this house, plus we wanted the doggies to be here," Fields added.
The couple tied the knot at their Beverly Hills home on August 7. Based on a James Bond theme, 50 guests walked in on a black carpet and a lavish reception was thrown afterwards.
