Ryan Reynolds has apologised for holding his wedding with Blake Lively at a former slave plantation.

The Hollywood stars tied the knot in 2012 at Boone Hall, South Carolina. “It’s something we’ll always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for,” Reynolds told Fast Company.

Deadpool star Reynolds, 43, said the couple later held a second wedding ceremony at home and that the shame from the original mistake “works in weird ways”.

Reynolds and Gossip Girl star Lively, 33, have three daughters. In June, the couple donated 200,000 dollars (about £152,000) to the NAACP Legal Defence and Educational Fund (LDF).
