Clarke said, “Shane and I are both introverts and we decided that the only solution was to just elope together to someplace that we know nobody and nobody knows us, and keep it a secret.”
“But I have discovered something about weddings that I had not realized. People really, really want to show that they love the people that they care about.”
“So, much as we might have liked our wedding to be a non-event, and because we have found it impossible to keep it a total secret, a few of our friends and family have elected to make it a tiny but beautiful thing.”
Clarke also revealed that “Johnny Depp is going to be the wedding guitarist.”
