Keira Knightley marries rocker James Righton

Keira Knightley is taking on a new role: wife.

A French mayor says the Oscar-nominated actress has said "oui" to rocker James Righton in a small wedding ceremony in southern France.

Aime Navello said Sunday that the couple followed French tradition when he married them at the Mazan town hall on Saturday.

Navello read the service in French and the couple responded in French and English. He said about 10 people were present.

According to People, Knightley, 28, wore a knee-length, strapless tulle dress and a Chanel jacket for the ceremony, with nude flats and a crown of daisies in her hair. Celebrations reportedly followed at an afternoon garden luncheon and an evening party, where Righton's band was expected to perform.

Righton, 29, is keyboard player for the rock group the Klaxons. He and Knightley got engaged a year ago.
