Very interesting.  All the well-known younger actors and their families seem to be marrying into families we recognize. (So obliging of them!).  First, Benedict Cumberbatch, then Eddie Redmayne, and now Tom Hiddleston's sister.  Perhaps Tom himself, if we are so lucky!

But aren't Tom and Emma's parents now divorced?  I think his Wikipedia article says something of the kind.

The Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hiddleston]  gives no date for the divorce, but says that his parents were divorcing when he joined Eton circa 1994.

Update;  They apparently married at 3:30 pm on the 24th of October 2015 at The Church of St Bartholomew the Great in the Parish of Great St Bartholomew West Smithfield, City of London.  Could anyone else confirm?

Engagement notice from The Daily Telegraph
http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/engagements/185427/mr-j.-blakiston-houston-and-miss-e.-hiddleston

On the church from its website:

The Priory Church of Saint Bartholomew the Great is London's oldest surviving church. Founded in 1123 '[in the reign of Henry I] as an Augustinian Priory, it has been in continuous use since 1143. It is an active Anglican/Episcopal Church located in the part of London known as The City.


Originally known as the Chapel of the Holy Cross, and founded nearby in 1123, the Hospital Church of St Bartholomew the Less, just inside the hospital gates, moved to its present site in 1184. It was calledthe Less just to distinguish it from its larger neighbour.


On 1^st June 2015, the two parishes formed the new united benefice ofGreat St Bartholomew, which now contains both churches. The Parish Church is St Bartholomew the Great, while St Bartholomew the Less is what is known as a Chapel of Ease – this means it is a church provided primarily for the convenience of those close to it, in this case especially those working or present as patients in the hospital.
