He's more than just Jennifer Aniston's trophy husband!
Well, after years of waiting, Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston have finally tied the knot. The two wed in a secret ceremony on August 5, 2015. They've been engaged since August, 2012. That's a long time to be engaged, but it takes a lot more planning to do something in secret.
The two met on the set of the film Wanderlust, which was a huge bomb at the box office. That's probably another reason why it took them so long to get married. They both had to bounce back from that stinker before making any major life and financial commitments.
Also, they probably didn't want anyone mentioning anything about it at the wedding. They had to give people enough time to forget about it.
Jennifer Aniston is a household name, most famous for playing Rachel Green on Friends. Justin Theroux, on the other hand, is much less famous. He's so much less famous that while my spell checker recognizes the word Aniston, it keeps telling me that Theroux isn't a word.
