Camila Alves gave Matthew McConaughey an invitation to his own wedding.

The couple - who got engaged last December - married on June 9 at their home in Texas and the 'Magic Mike' star admits he was spurred on to start arranging the nuptials following a huge hint from the Brazilian beauty.

He said: 'She handed me an invitation to my own wedding. That's one way to kick-start a man!'

Although he is excited about the nuptials, Matthew - who has kids Levi, four, and two-year-old Vida with Camila, while the couple are set to welcome their third child into the world next year - was determined not to have a bachelor party before he married, much to the disappointment of his friends.

He added in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'I had some friends who wanted me to have a bachelor party. But I said, 'What am I going to do at a bachelor party? Watch you guys have fun and then foot the bill?' '

The 42-year-old Hollywood star admits he has changed a lot since the early days of his career because of his family responsibilities.

He said: 'I've definitely grown, because when you have a family, there's more to live for.'
