A number of stars said I-do under the radar in recent months, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took the (wedding) cake when it comes to Successfully tying the knot without anybody even having a clue that it was about to go down.

The über-famous pair were married Saturday at Château Miraval in France, the couple's spokesman told E! News, in a small chapel in a private ceremony attended by family and friends. Prior to the nondenominational civil ceremony, the movie stars obtained a marriage license from a local California judge, who also conducted the wedding ceremony in France.

This got us thinking—how did they pull it off? How did two of Hollywood's biggest A-listers manage to have such secretive nuptials?

Well, here are a few ways... 

"Brad and Angelina discussed the wedding with a very small group of friends," the close source tells us. "They debated whether they would be able to invite more people but ultimately decided the most important thing was to have a private family wedding and then news not to get out in any way."

In fact, a second source tells us that their ceremony only included 22 people! "The only guests were Brad's family from the states—his mom and dad, Bill and Jane Pitt; his brother, Doug; sister Julie; and their kids— Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and twins Knox and Viviennne, 6—so it was no more than 22 people in total."

Jolie's father Jon Voight was not in attendance, but said in a statement  to a news website earlier today, "It sounds like it was a wonderful wedding. It must have been very beautiful with the kids participating. I know it was during Emmy weeks and they were able to do it very quietly. I'm very happy for them."
