With a baby on the way and a very packed schedule this year, it looks like Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter got married at the very first chance they got.
Previous reports by supposed insiders pegged the couple's nuptial plans for early summer, just before they welcome their first child. However, it looks like the "Sherlock" star couldn't wait for a few more months to make things official with his betrothed.
According to People's breaking news, the new Mr. and Mrs. Cumberbatch tied the knot at the St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in Mottistone, on the Isle of Wight, England. They later had a reception at the Mottistone Manor which was owned by the Nicholson family before being turned over to the National Trust.
Hunter is believed to be related to the noble family.
The "very pretty" church is reportedly perfect for a small, intimate wedding, which fit the couple's desire for privacy in their personal lives.
According to the Isle Of Wright County Press, around 40 guests arrived at the church in limousines. The groom, himself, stayed at the prestigious Royal Yacht Squadron the night before the ceremony.
Local florists, bakers, and musicians were reportedly not tapped for the wedding, with the couple bringing in their own entourage to Mottistone.
The happy couple effectively kept the preparations for their nuptial as secret as possible.
"The details have been sent out in an email rather than a paper invitation as time is of the essence," an insider previously shared, hinting at the closeness of the ceremony at the time.
The Oscar-nominated actor kept dodging questions about the date for his upcoming marriage during interviews following the announcement of their engagement, then pregnancy.
As a result, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter reportedly got married without paparazzi snapping pictures of them on the special day.
"The Imitation Game" star will reportedly appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as a newly married man this Monday. The couple is also expected to finally debut as Mr. and Mrs. Cumberbatch at the 2015 Oscar Awards.
