Who are invited to Benedict Cumberbatch's wedding to Sophie Hunter? It certainly won't be the media.

After making their first ever appearance as an engaged couple during "The Imitation Game" premiere in New York, the "Sherlock" star shared his wedding plans to US Weekly magazine.

"I think I'll be having a very private wedding," the "12 Years A Slave" said. Just like how he kept his relationship with his theatre director girlfriend very low-key despite his fame, the 38-year-old also wants their nuptials to become a quiet affair.

Although several fans of "The Hobbit" star had their hearts broken because of the announcement, Cumberbatch couldn't help but gush about his new fiancé in interviews.

"She's just really cool!" he reportedly told Reveal.co.uk. He also told People that he and the Oxford graduate were a "good fit."

Does being in a relationship with a very famous boyfriend faze the multi-lingual actress and director? According to Cumberbatch, she took everything in stride.

"She's proud of my work, she's proud of me, and she loves me. That's the bottom line, isn't it?" he confessed. "It could be a really difficult thing, but she's just so in command of it."

When they appeared together on the red carpet for the first time, Hunter walked beside her fiancé with her chin up and an arm wrapped possessively around his waist. The media tried to find the engagement ring on her finger but she kept her hand hidden behind Cumberbatch.

Just like Benedict Cumberbatch's wedding plans, their engagement announcement was also a Sherlock Holmes-worthy piece of work. They paid for a small advertisement on the Weddings section of The Times, announcing their intent to marry.

"The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London," the short but clever advertisement read.
