British supermodel Kate Moss desperately wanted all of the Rolling Stones at her wedding to The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, but she had to settle for a few of the Rolling Stones' relatives who ended up attending. The Rolling Stones still inspired the wedding in more ways than one, according to a Daily Mail report that details Moss' lavish three-day wedding celebration that included the marriage ceremony on July 1, 2011, in Southrop, England.
Moss walked down the wedding aisle to the the Gloucester Cathedral choir singing the Rolling Stones song "You Can’t Always Get What You Want." She also reportedly modeled her wedding after the 1998 wedding of Angela Richards, the eldest daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
In addition, the Daily Mail reports that Moss' three-day wedding celebration (which cost an estimated £500,000 or $800,000) had catering that included Keith Richards' famous recipe for shepherd's pie. (He published the recipe in his 2010 best-selling memoir "Life." Moss is one of the people thanked in the book's acknowledgments section.)
As for the wedding guests, some of the celebrities in attendance included supermodel Naomi Campbell; actor Jude Law; and Law's ex-wife, actress Sadie Frost. (Law and Frost's 11-year-old daughter, Iris, is Moss' goddaughter and was a flower girl at Moss' wedding.)
Although Moss was one of the guests at the 2008 wedding of Leah Wood (the only daughter of Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood) Leah and Ronnie were not at Moss' wedding. Ronnie's eldest son, Jesse (another of Moss' friends), was also a no-show.
In a July 2011 interview with the Daily Mail, Ronnie said that because he now clean and sober after a 2010 stint in rehab, he has stopped hanging out with non-sober friends such as Moss. Ronnie also told Uncut magazine that he was helping Jesse stay sober.
However, a few Rolling Stones relatives were in attendance at Moss' wedding: Jade Jagger (the second-born child of Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger) and Ella De La Falaise, Keith Richards' 15-year-old granddaughter who was one of the flower girls. Ella is the daughter of Keith’s son Marlon and Marlon’s wife, Lucie de la Falaise.
The Daily Mail reports:
The bride wanted Led Zeppelin, Kanye West and several Rolling Stones to play, but was unable to persuade them. Instead, the couple took to the floor for their first dance to a Gucci-suited Bryan Ferry crooning his Roxy Music ballad If There Is Something. He and Kate are friends — she is the cover girl on his latest solo album, Olympia. Saturday’s entertainment [on July 2] meanwhile came courtesy of diva Shirley Bassey and Kate’s super-size mate Beth Ditto, singer in the Gossip.
The U.S. edition of Vogue has exclusive photos of the wedding in its September 2011 issue. Mario Testino was the official wedding photographer. The bride's wedding dress was designed by John Galliano.
