Derimot kunne det nesten virke som om hans norske skuespillerkj�reste hadde f�tt kalde f�tter. Et fullsatt kapell pustet lettet ut da Kristin endelig kom g�ende oppover l�peren til Mendelssohns bryllupsmarsj - 10 minutter forsinket.

Paret hadde valgt en utradisjonell brudebekledning - Kristin (28) var if�rt en hvit strikkekjole og gullkrone p� hodet, og Gabrials (27) rysjebluse ga assosiasjoner til kapteinen p� en skute fra Columbus' tid.

Resten av No Doubt hadde tatt en lynvisitt til Norge for � v�re med p� bryllupsfeiringen.

- Viktig � v�re her

- Gabrial er en god venn, s� det er viktig for oss � v�re her i dag, sier gitarist Tom Dumont, som sammen med frontfigur Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal og Adrian Young reiser tilbake til Los Angeles i dag, etter knappe tre dager p� norsk jord.

Blant de celebre gjestene var ogs� filmregiss�r Harald Zwart, kinoaktuell med "One Night at McCool's", som kom sammen med kona Veslem�y. Zwart ble kjent med Kristin i filmmilj�et i Los Angeles, der begge har fast adresse.

- Jeg kjenner Kristin godt. Vi treffes ofte, sier Zwart, som var ivrig med fotoapparatet etter vielsen.

Spilt i Allen-film

Kristin Hjellegjerde har bodd i USA i fem �r og v�rt kj�reste med Gabrial i to. Hun har en fortid som modell, og jobber n� som skuespiller. Gabrial McNair har v�rt fast ekstramedlem i No Doubt de ni siste �rene. Han spiller ogs� med andre kjente band som Offspring og Green Day.

Bryllupsreisen blir i f�rste omgang en liten tur til Grimstad, f�r Gabrial m� tilbake til USA for � turnere med Green Day. Kristin tilbringer sommeren i Norge, og ser frem til en skikkelig bryllupstur til Tahiti senere i �r.

Til h�sten skal den norske jenta v�re med i en dansk dogme-film av Janne Hallevik, som spilles inn i New York. Fra f�r kan hun skilte med en liten rolle i Woody Allen-filmen.

TRANSLATION

Gabrial McNair from No Doubt was in no doubt about what to say to Kristin Hjellegjerde from Sykkylven in Holmenkollen chapel yesterday.

Even though it could seem like his Norwegian actress girlfriend had gotten cold feet. A fully seated chapel breathed relieved when Kristin finallycame walking down the isle to Mendelsson's weddingmarch -10 minutes too late.

The couple had chosen some untraditional wedding outfits - Kristin (28) was dressed in a white knitted dress and with a crown of gold on her head, and Gabrial's (27) blouse gave a resemblance to a captain, sailing the seas on the time of Colombus.

The rest of No Doubt had this short stop in Norway only to participate in the wedding celebrations.

- Important to be here

- Gabrial is a good friend, and it is important for us to be here today, says gitarist Tom Dumont, who came toghether with lead singer Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal and Adrian Young. The group is going back to Los Angeles tomprrow, after only three days on Norwegian ground.

Among the guests was the Norwegian film director Harald Zwart, director of "One Night at McCools", he came toghether with his wife Veslem�y. Zwart got to know Kristin from the movie scene in Los Angeles, where they both have their current address.

- I know Kristin very well. We get toghether often, says Zwart who was very eager with his photo camera.

- Played in Allen-movie

 Kristin Gjellegjerde has been living in USA for five years and been together with Gabrial for two. She has a past as a model, and is currently working as an actress.
