The Sex and City star, Sarah Jessica Parker has said she chose a black dress on her wedding to avoid attention. She married fellow actor Mathew Broderick. Mathew achieved recent acclaim in the Broadway version of Mel Brooks’ The Producers.

The couple got married in 1997 with Ms Parker taking the unconventional black dress choice. She said that I felt on that day, that I should not bring attention to myself. And my husband kind of had the same attitude about it.

She added that they were embarrassed to be a traditional bride and groom and they wanted to throw a party, and deflect attention off them.
