Last week Friends star Jennifer Aniston and her long-term love Justin Theroux pulled off the ultimate celebrity swindle, passing off their top secret wedding as a birthday party for Justin.
While guests were banned from bringing phones to the affair and no pictures have (yet) emerged of the bride and groom, one very outspoken friend of the couple has spilled the beans on details of the big day.
Radio presenter and reality TV judge Howard Stern was one of many high-profile guests at the A-list celebration. He was also one of the few who knew in advance what was happening, as he was tasked with giving a toast for the newlyweds.

Speaking on his Sirius XM show, the star said: “I was so nervous.”
“They’re so secretive, those two.”
He opened up on his friendship with Justin, 44, who starred alongside Jennifer in 2012’s Wanderlust, saying: “I’m very friendly with Justin. I like him very much. I really admire him.”
“I even said in my speech to them that if one of my daughters brought home a guy like Justin, I’d be very pleased. Except for the shitty tattoos, because he’s got some fucking weird ones.”

Stern also cleared up rumours surrounding the presence of Robert Downey Jr at the event, as previous reports claimed that the Iron Man star gave the toast with Stern. In fact, he was not in attendance.
Not that the newlyweds were short of star power, mind. Guests included Jen’s Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Bateman, Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski, Friends stars Lisa Kudrow and Courtney Cox (who also acted as bridesmaid), Sandra Bullock, Chelsea Handler, Rachel McAdams and Tobey McGuire.

Complaining about the mobile phone ban, Stern said: “Why can’t I have my cell phone? I don’t want to take a picture of you two! I really don’t. I want my cell phone so after I make this speech I can call my car and get the fuck outta here!”
“The irony is, I’ve been on vacation with those two, and they take pictures every fucking minute! They’re constantly shooting pictures. But if I take a picture, I’m committing a sin!”
As for the celebrant? It was none other than Jimmy Kimmel. Stern said: “He did a beautiful job.
“I didn’t think he’d get through it. Jimmy’s still depressed about that lion getting killed over in Africa.”
He added that Ellen DeGeneres was none to impressed with him “for making fun of Jimmy for crying, because she’s an animal lover.”
