awww that's a lovely story.

I think there is no way to get the haters back from the dark side, they'll say it was staged or their publicist wrote it. They are so convinced that it's PR. it's useless.

Yeah, unfortunately, you're right. Some people will hate Sophie forever, which is unfortunate since I'd assume a great many of them do it for no good reason. It's too bad, but there's nothing anyone can do.

Thing is it's not even personal...the haters would have hated whoever Benedict marrried. It's nothing to do with Sophie.

You're right. There are certain people who would have done so no matter what, and whoever it would have been they would have found some reason to hate that person if they really wanted to.

I remember another one (I think it was from the same day) where she's looking at him and she just looks so happy to see him.

Here's another one I like, from the same event that we've posted from before, I think, but I still like it.

Aw, that is very sweet (we also get a good view of Benedict's snazzy shoes).

As for the gif with the wedding ring on Jimmy Kimmel, I love that clip. In case you didn't see, it's a tweet where someone says something rude about people who find Benedict attractive (to paraphrase, that Benedict was ugly), and Benedict retaliates, "Well someone did, and she put a ring on it!" Which was the best comeback you could have.

So right together.

Aw.

That was one of the dresses I liked best so far.
I read an article about her attending some charity event at the Great Ormond Street Children's hospital and one of the hater's comments was that Benedict married himself in a dress. Actually when I look at their faces in this picture I very much think it's a big compliment!

**Posted by mrshouse** November 21, 2015 3:17 pm

No, this"in-depths" comment alluded to their strikingly similar features, or so I understood it anyway. He married himself in a dress. But as I said, looking at this picture I cannot see this as a bad thing.
And yes, some " fans" need to get themselves a life...
I like that Sophie hardly goes for heavy makeup. Especially this dress fits very well with the hair and the natural, more earthly makeup colors.

I wouldn't say it's an insult to marry someone who looks a lot like you, even if some people were trying to say it that way. There's been research to suggest that that is something people do a lot of the time. I would not say it as an insult, either. They are a good-looking couple.

Aw!

They always have such a nice energy together, you can feel how they complement each other.

**Posted by Yitzock** November 25, 2015 2:56 pm

They are so nice together, you can see their love for each other in every photo. Even though it's lovely to see, sometimes I feel like the photographs have captured too much and that we are seeing something that should be kept more personal, but then again I know that if this is what they don't mind doing in front of cameras that it's OK by them, that anything they don't want us to see, we won't.

Yeah, the honeymoon was a bit late(chuckle!) oh and why have an insignificant ruin a good photo of a beautiful couple?!

Well, the fact they are so right for each other is great...
But not so surprising they met, they are both actors.
Plus, he met her a long time ago.

**Posted by Yitzock** November 26, 2015 7:40 pm

Perhaps it's not surprising for any two actors to meet, but the fact that they met and were right for each other, that's not so easy to have happen, even if it does happen for many people.
