Someone once said that all you need is love, but in Kate Moss and Pete Doherty's case it's probably fairer to say that all you need is love, not much food and a Naltrexone pellet implanted into your stomach to stop you taking so much heroin.
But, you know, mainly all you need is love. Especially Buddhist love that neither of you properly understand very well. And that's exactly the sort of love that Pete Doherty and Kate Moss have – and they've got so much of it that they cashed it in to get married in Thailand yesterday. Probably, anyway; nobody seems to be very sure if Pete Doherty and Kate Moss actually got properly married yesterday, or if it was an unofficial ceremony to be made legal in the next few weeks, or if it was all just a great big stunt to get in some newspapers because nobody had thought about Pete Doherty and Kate Moss for upwards of six titting nanoseconds.
Pete Doherty and Kate Moss were always an unlikely couple – he's a potato-faced busker with a complicated drug problem and a group of confused teenage fans who say he's better than everyone ever, and she's a woman who is officially good at wearing clothes and who regularly breaks the internet every time she gets her bra out.
But, like Hart To Hart, when Pete Doherty and Kate Moss met, it was murder. Well, OK, technically it wasn't murder – more like a series of thumpingly tiresome sub-Hollyoaks relationship tangles – but you get the idea. It's your classic love story, really – Pete Doherty and Kate Moss met, fell in love, had a bit of a falling out, briefly gave pieces of their hair to some other people and got back together after everyone stopped freaking out about Kate Moss possibly snorting cocaine.
And now that Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are happily a proper item again, it was only a matter of time before they decided to get married. In September, Pete Doherty dropped a big Kate Moss marriage hint when he told a gardener at his rehab facility that:
"We will run away together to somewhere no one can find us and then we'll get married."
Someone should have probably given Pete Doherty a better atlas, since "somewhere no one can find us" turned out to be "quite an expensive hotel in a lovely Thailand resort where the Duchess Of York was having a bloody great party." The Telegraph reports:
The supermodel Kate Moss and the rock singer Pete Doherty were "married" in a Buddhist wedding ceremony yesterday. The couple, on holiday in Thailand, exchanged vows before having water sprinkled over their heads as a priest pronounced them man and wife. A select group of family and friends attended the traditional Thai ceremony, at their luxury hotel villa overlooking a Phuket beach.
But this wedding doesn't mean that Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are properly married yet, as Buddhist blessings like theirs aren't legally recognised in the UK, which means they'll both have to go through the whole palaver all over again when they get back to Britain. So in reality, Pete Doherty and Kate Moss's wedding wasn't a wedding at all – more like an Anna Nicole Smith-style fakeout – and all that happened was Kate Moss and Pete Doherty said that they loved each other and then got squirted with water.
Which, let's be fair, is a step up from being squirted with dirty junkie-blood, isn't it?
