Wedding with four bands, a gospel choir, 50,000 flowers, dinner for 200 and fireworks: $1,000,000.

Pentalty levied against hired hands who voilated their confidentiality agreements and leaked details of the said nuptials: $100,000.

Joining in holy fabulosity of Mr. and Mrs. Sexiest Man Alive: Priceless.

On a Malibu bluff, Brad Pitt, 36, whose romantic CV includes liasons with Gwyneth Paltrow and Juliette Lewis, pledged to spend forever with Jennifer Aniston, 31, the Friends star whose hair launched a thousand shags. Before family and friends (including all of her TV costars except Matt LeBlanc, who was on movie location in Budapest), Aniston promised to always make Pitt his favorite banana milk shakes, while he vowed to split the difference with her on the contentious thermostat issue. (Aniston's mother, estranged from her daughter ever since giving a negative interview to a tabloid show, was not invited.)

Escorted down the aisle by her father, soap actor John Aniston, the bride looked luminous in a glass-beaded silk gown by Milan designer Lawrence Steele, while Pitt donned a tuxedo from Parisian Hedi Slimane. After their first kiss as husband and wife, dancing broke out to music by a Greek bouzouki band, a Latin jazz combo, a 12-year-old Sinatra-style singer and, at one point, actor Dermot Mulroney on the mandolin and Melissa Etheridge covering Led Zeppelin. Then came a fireworks show over the Pacific. "There were big expectations," said Aniston's hairstylist, Chris McMillan. "And this went way beyond that. Way beyond."
