'It kind of already feels like we did the wedding,' he said at the time.

Despite the private affair for the official wedding, Christian and Brittany planned a familial event for their wedding later that year. 

'It will be good, intimate and small and family members. It will be nice,' he told People. 'Honestly, you gotta get a planner and do all that, but we will get it organized. 

'We had a big engagement party on the 31st of December and it was nice, it was like a New Year’s and we had all the family come ... so we are just going to do a nice backyard situation,' he said.

Last year, Christian opened about shedding his 'exhausting' tough guy persona and how his dark experiences shaped the husband he is today.

The Heathers star was labelled a 'bad boy' after a stream of gritty roles in the late eighties and nineties but soon life began imitating art for the A-lister, who has had a number of run-ins with the law over the years.

The Interview With a Vampire actor has a well documented troubled past, which has included a drunk-driving car chase with police, a gun found in his luggage in JFK airport and being sent to prison for 90 days for an assault in 1997.

Speaking to Mr.PORTER, he revealed: 'That’s life. Or at least, that’s my life. I definitely spent a lot of time beating myself up, living with useless emotion, guilt and shame.

'Feeling tortured and justifying that because the examples I had were other tortured actors. You put that on yourself and think that’s how you’re supposed to behave. There was a level of imitation going on.
