Coldplay’s Chris Martin gave a surprise performance at Tallulah Willis’ wedding.
Tallulah Willis was stunned when her mom Demi Moore surprised her with a performance from Coldplay’s Chris Martin at her wedding.
The 32-year-old actress tied the knot with Justin Acee at her childhood home in Sun Valley, Idaho, earlier this month and she will “never forget” the special gift her mother organised, which saw the Yellow singer open the ceremony with a personalised song.
Explaining how “dear friend” Jeremy, who was officiating the wedding, went off script and announced someone special had written something for them Tallulah told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “My body froze as I looked instantly at the front row and saw my mom smiling like the cat that got the canary.
“I couldn’t believe my ears as a single guitar riff filled the surrounding speakers, and Chris Martin’s soulful voice followed elegantly.
“The first line of the song was, ‘Tallulah and Justin, walking down the aisle…’ My jaw dropped open, as I have deeply loved Coldplay since I was in middle school. I actually chose their song A Message to walk down the aisle too, just moments before.
“My mom pulled off something incredible by facilitating this surprise, this gift, and Justin and I started laughing out of pure bliss. I will never forget that moment.”
Tallulah and Justin – who got engaged in December 2024 after two years of dating – had considered eloping but their chosen location meant a lot to them both.
Tallulah said: “It’s the place where I learned to run free and be the dreamer that I am today.
“Justin and I have spent so much time up there that even though it has such histrionic pull for me, he feels very much a part of the fabric of the property.
“We toyed with the idea of making it simple and eloping. But deep down, I really loved the chance to be an eleganza.”
The couple exchanged vows they had written themselves, which made their guests emotional.
Tallulah said: “I am told that there was not a dry eye out there.
“But I couldn’t say for sure because my eyes were glued on the man across from me. With shaking hands, we exchanged rings, and after we were announced as bride and groom, Justin swung me down off the platform in one fluid motion, dipped me, smooched me, and then we both began to cheer surrounded by our beautiful bunch of friends and family.”
After the 6pm ceremony, the couple took some time for themselves before joining the party.
Tallulah said: “We were squealing with delight at the surreal, fantastic moment unfolding all around us.
“We then went into the house to take a little private breather before the cocktail hour began. Then, [my sister] Scout and my mom signed our marriage license as witnesses – and huzzah! We were officially Mr and Mrs.”
