It felt extremely special for everyone."Both Jessica and Cash made speeches at the reception, with the groom's tribute to his wife and six-month-old daughter Honor - who was dressed in a replica of her mother's grey dress and fairy wings - said to be particularly moving.Following words from the couple's fathers, guests were entertained by a mariachi band.Jessica, 27, and Cash, 31, originally married at the Beverly Hills Courthouse with no guests present.A source close to Jessica, who was heavily pregnant when she walked down the aisle, said: "Jessica and Cash's ceremony surprised even good friends. She used to feel it would be OK to wait until after the baby was born to get married but her traditional side must have really kicked in."Cash is a wonderful guy and she really does love him." Jessica's dad Mark spoke of his happiness for his daughter, saying: "I think it is good news for her. I'm glad for her. She's a beautiful girl. I'm her dad and I'm happy for her no matter what happens."Jessica and Cash met in 2004 when he was the assistant to the director on her movie 'Fantastic Four'.
