Kristen, Robert 'technically married'

Cape Town - Twilight lovebirds and real-life couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may have been "technically married" while shooting the wedding scene for their upcoming movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.

Robert, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit supernatural franchise, revealed that a real priest was cast to perform the wedding ceremony.

"The wedding scene's funny because we used a real priest," he said at a press conference in Sweden to promote the penultimate movie in The Twilight Saga.

"So technically we are already married because he did all the things you would do in a normal ceremony."

Sex scene

"So we don't have a civil union in law, but I guess in the church we are actually married," he continued.

Kristen has also revealed in an interview with Glamour magazine that the much-anticipated first sex scene between her character Bella and Edward was originally going to be R-rated, but the filmmakers decided to re-cut the scene to make it appropriate for younger viewers.

"It was so weird, it didn't even feel like we were doing a Twilight film," Kristen said about the infamous honeymoon romp.

"I was like, 'Bella! What are you doing? Wow! What is happening here?!'... We [originally] got rated R. They re-cut it," she said.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 will open in SA cinemas on 16 November, two days before the US release.
