A congregation of some 370 guests laughed cried and clapped their way through Jane Seymour's romantic wedding ceremony to director James Keach.

The couple. who fell in love exactly a year before their emotional wedding day, on the set of the film Sunstroke, were bowled over by the response of their guests - many of whom flew to California from around the world to join in the celebrations and bring their congratulations in person.

"There was this incredible energy about the whole day and a lot of friends who were there told us they had been so affected by it that they have decided to get married now or to renew their vows," British star Jane reveals.

"It was not like a normal wedding - it was an extraordinary experience," she says of the 20-minute service conducted by renowned American author and minister Marian Williamson. who also officiated at Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky's wedding.

"It didn't feel like it was just the two of us getting married, but like a lot of people were celebrating love."
-Yes,- agrees James. "I don't want to get corny about it but I did have a tear in my eye and it was a very moving expenence. Even though it was a big ceremony, with lots of people around us it felt very intimate arid Marian said that what she hoped would happen was that the love between Jane and I would spread throughout all the people there. And this did seem to happen. It was like a glow of spirituality."

As guests, including Stephanie Beacham. David Emanuel, David and Robert Carradine and Essam Khashoggi, arrived at the home of shopping centre designers David and Diane Simon - close friends of the 42-year-old , actress who had offered their spacious grounds to her for the wedding- venue - they were impressed with the peach and white flowers and ribbons everywhere, the marquees to keep out the helicopter paparazzi and the beautiful wedding bower.

"It was hard to believe that this was Jane's fourth wedding and James's third. it was being done on such a grand scale. but watching Jane walk down the aisle looking so radiantly girlish and in love, you forgot all that." a guest confided. Both Jane and James have put their previous marriages very firmly in the past and no ex-partners including David Flynn, the father of.Jane's two children Katie and Sean, were there to see them exchange vows.

Speaking exclusively to HELLO! just days after their wedding on May 15 it quickly becomes apparent that Jane and James might have only been in love for a year but they have thought long and hard about committing themselves again. and have no doubts that their future will be together.

"It feels wondertul to he married to James. "Jane explains during a break in filming her popular TV series Dr Quinn Medicine W oman in Agoura Hills, California. He is directing Jane in that episode and the couple only had the Saturday and Sunday off before returning to work. Their proper honeymoon will come later.

"We had an incredible day and I have a great sense of peace and serenity now and a feeling of having made a new beginning."

"Some people call the wedding ring the smallest set of handcuffs in the world but I don't feel that way at all." adds James laughing. "I couldn't be happier because I've never loved anyone or an thing more in my life than Jane."
