This post is just an effort to give all of you guys a fresh comment feed to discuss Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter’s Valentine’s Day wedding. Our weekend post has 850-plus comments, so here you go. These are photos of Benedict and Sophie flying out of Heathrow yesterday – they only spent one night (as a married couple) in the Isle of Wight, then they flew to LA, which is where they’re going to officially honeymoon. A nice working honeymoon for Bendy. Sophie is so lucky, right? Benedict appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Oscar voting ends tomorrow!! Also: look at how Sophie is now showing off her rings. Total Duchess Kate move. I feel ya, Sophie. You got the ring! *slow clap*
It’s not like there’s tons of news about the wedding, but there is some stuff, so let’s get to it.
*Bendy & Sophie were spotted post-wedding on the Isle of Wight – you can see the photos here. They both look tired and cold. She’s wearing one of those fancy poncho-like things with arm slits.
*Benedict’s publicist confirmed the wedding officially, although I’m not sure why she even bothered, considering she was unofficially leaking details to all of the major media outlets in America and the UK. But the official word is that yes, they did marry on V-Day and “It was a magical day.” MAGICAL!!!!
*We know some of the wedding guest list – Tom Hiddleston was there, so was Andrew Scott (Moriarty) and Martin Freeman. We know Benedict spent his last night as an unmarried man at the Royal Yacht Squadron. We know that they chose “My Funny Valentine” to be “played during their service” which… I don’t know? It wouldn’t have been my choice, but maybe that was playing the first time they kissed (or had sex?).
*Because Benedict has a promotional contract with Jaguar, he got to do some promotional work for them for his wedding: Benedict and Sophie departed their service in a vintage Jaguar. It was blue.
And so there you go. Benedict Cumberbatch is no longer a single man. Will Sophie take his name, I wonder? Sophie Cumberbatch. Sophie Hunter Cumberbatch is too much of a mouthful so I hope she doesn’t do that. Ah, well. Yes, at least we still have Tom Hiddleston (and at least I still have Michael Fassbender).
