Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston kept their wedding a secret, by telling friends they were throwing a party to celebrate Justin Theroux's 44th birthday.
But Justin Theroux has opened up about the "massive miscalculation" of not telling people they were attending wedding. They told some high profile guests it was a wedding, so they could ensure they fit it into their schedules, while most were left in the dark.
This created a divide between guests who were dressed for a wedding and guests who were dressed for a barbecue. It's like the Hollywood equivalent of the divide between day and evening guests.
Justin said on the Ellen show: “It was actually a massive miscalculation. Afterwards, we kind of realized, like, that was a terrible plan, because you’re basically telling half your guests, ‘You’re unemployed and we can’t trust you,’ which was of course not the case, but we just kind of put it out there, and people that said yes to the birthday [we didn’t tell], and then people who said, ‘We can’t,’ we really put more pressure on them to be at the ‘birthday.’”
He said: “We also have friends who, when we‘ve done barbecues and stuff, show up, like, dressed to the nines, like, ‘This is the thing, right?,’ And we’re like, ‘No, this is actually just a barbecue.’”
