    Keira Knightley's low-key wedding might influence others to skip on lavish ceremony hopes High Court Judge

    Keira Knightley's low-key wedding might influence others to skip on lavish ceremony hopes High Court Judge. Sir Paul Coleridge has said he hopes the marriage, which saw Keria Knightley arrive in a Renault Clio and exchange vows in front of just a dozen close friends and family, might encourage other couples to tie the knot without a lavish ceremony.

    KEIRA KNIGHTLEY'S MAD WEDDING GIFT FROM JAMES RIGHTON REVEALED

    Coleridge, who has launched the Marriage Foundation, told The Times: 'If people thought they could not get married unless they had a glittering celebrity-style wedding, I think that’s very tragic.'

    Knightley wore a recycled Chanel dress as she exchanged vows during the intimate ceremony at the town hall in Mazan, France, with her Klaxons band member partner James Righton.
