MODEL and Paralympian Aimee Mullins continued to share images of her secret marriage to Homeland actor Rupert Friend this weekend, revealing that she wore a dress by fashion designer, and rumoured Raf Simons Dior replacement, Olivier Theyskens.
The newlyweds, who got married on May 1 but waited until this weekend to tell the world their happy news, both shared images of their intimate nuptials, which were attended by only two of their closest friends and took place in a "marital compost shed", according to Mullins.
