P-Stew's wedding picture is a load of balls
We like Sir Patrick Stewart, so much so that we don't even mind calling him Sir.
The 73-year-old thespian tied the knot over the weekend to jazz singer partner Sunny Ozell, and in typical P-Stew style eschewed the glossy mag photospread or back-of-the-Times style formal announcements.
Nope, he tweeted a pic of him and his new bride (whose feet you may remember from this).
In a ball pit.
With the words 'Yes, married'.

You can't buy class.
Patrick began dating Sunny, who is based in Brooklyn, New York, in 2009 after meeting her while performing in 'Macbeth' in the city.
But wait, there's more!
The ceremony was apparently carried out by Pat'sclose pal and 'X-Men' co-star Ian McKellen - yep, Magneto married Xavier, X-Men fans.
Or Gandalf married Jean-Luc Picard, if you prefer.
We know this because Sir Ian (yep, he's a Sir too) was kind enough to post a picture to Facebook.
McKellan had told 'The Jonathan Ross Show' in March: "I am going to marry Patrick. Well, no, how else do you put that? I am going to officiate at his wedding."
Asked if he was legally qualified to preside over the couple's nuptials, Ian said: "I don't know. But in Massachusetts, or in the middle of America somewhere, you get a friend along, and I read out the words, and Sunny and Patrick will then be married."
He added: "I've done it once before, with two guys having a civil partnership. I was crying my eyes out."
Patrick was previously married to Sheila Falconer for 24 years until 1990, with whom he has two children, Daniel and Sophia.
He was also married to 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' producer Wendy Neuss for three years until 2003.
