The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.
As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."
Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.
She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

No longer willing to bite her tongue when it comes to what she feels is a clear abuse of power, Solange Knowles voiced her disapproval with the way that police in Miami, Florida conduct themselves.
Taking to Twitter to post a series of late night, anger-filled messages, the 25-year-old began her venting session by writing, "I have literally had my last leg with discriminating police! Miami police department will be notified."
The upsetness stemmed from an incident in which Miss Knowles claimed to have been threatened by an officer who drew a weapon on her for "no reason."
She explained, "A police officer just pulled a weapon on me.... I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort."
Solange continued, "I am simply tired of police using arrogance, ego and authority as an offense. I'm only tweeting this to raise awareness. I could have left quietly, but I am sick & tired of this scenario being played over & over again."
The "I Decided" singer concluded by tweeting, "I'm ok. I'm safe & sound at my apartment. I'm just beyond frustrated with the system. Been on the phone for the last 20 minutes reporting this incident. Yes, I have the officers name. Yes, I have the location. Scare tactics don't WORK."

Also noting why she feels Miss Spears is deserving of the honor, the 19-year-old told, "'Cause she's the ultimate pop star; nobody can touch her. She's been around for such a long time now and she's the epitome of pop. So when I think of pop music, I think of her."

Having been rumored to be an item since late June, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield offered a little confirmation to the claims during a rare non-work related sighting in Malibu, CA on Thursday night (August 25).
The "Amazing Spider-Man" co-stars kept their distance and made sure not to give awaiting photogs any PDA-filled shots as they exited Nobu restaurant following an evening sushi dinner date.
Word of the new off-screen romance was first reported by Us Weekly, as their source told at the time, "They got close during filming and have been hooking up. They haven't gone public, but he's told his friends."
The sighting comes just a day after comedic actor Jim Carrey posted a strange video on his TruLife website to declare his love for Miss Stone.
In the Carrey clip, the "Ace Ventura" star began by saying, “I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all the way beautiful. If I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckle-faced kids.”
Carrey then confessed he’s too old for Stone, noting his wrinkled forehead, a bit of grey in his beard, and the fact that it “takes him a little longer to pee than it used to.”
With expected Hollywood earnings of $120 million cut by a hefty projected loss of 25% thanks to Hurricane Irene, "The Help" held onto the top spot at the box office during the dismally slow weekend of August 26-28, 2011.
The Emma Stone starring book-based picture, which has been perched atop the movie money-making list for the third straight week, pulled in $4.2 million on Friday with a weekend total of approximately $14.5 million.
Having the unfortunate pleasure of opening up on the storm-impacted date, Zoe Saldana's newly released action flick "Colombiana" followed closely behind with a $3.7 million first day - which set the Olivier Megaton directed offering up for a debut weekend take of $10.2 million.
Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated weekend totals are the Katie Holmes fronted horror/thriller "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" ($9.2 million), followed by "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" ($8.5 million) and "Spy Kids 4" ($6.2 million).
Meanwhile, the just-released Paul Rudd comedy "Our Idiot Brother" also felt the effects of Hurricane Irene with a much lower than expected $6 million opening en route to a sixth place finish.
