The couples tells People that they exchanged a few words written by their children.

"The children wrote vows and asked us to make promises to each other. It was very sweet what they came up with," Jolie said.

The kids also wore items like top hats and other festive attire that they picked out themselves.

Instead of hiring a full-on band or having music playing when Jolie walked down the aisle, 20 guests and Pitt himself hummed "Here Comes the Bride" when the actress walked to be with her husband.

"There was no music, so family and friends hummed," Jolie said.

4 - Jolie's Dedication to Her Late Mother

Jolie lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to ovarian cancer in 2007, so to honor her, the bride wore "a little flower ring that was hers," she said. And her brother James "wore an angel pin from her jewelry box."

Pitt also engraved a dedication to Bertrand in the chapel where they were wed.

5 - The Guests

The 20 people in attendance included the kids, Pitt's parents, Bill and Jane, his siblings Doug and Julie, and Jolie's brother James.
