" Jude Law and Sienna Miller reportedly &amp;#039;married&amp;#039; in a traditional south-east Asian blessing while backpacking on the continent in April. The couple took part in a secret &amp;#039;Baci&amp;#039; ceremony, which involves the binding together of their wrists with red and white thread, during a trip to Laos, a country that borders Burma and China. A Baci expert explained: &amp;quot;The shaman calls all 32 souls of the different parts of the body to come together and harmonise, and reminds the couple of the rules of marriage. &amp;quot;During the ceremony the couple kneel together side by side. It is a tradition that the woman also shoves into the man slightly to show she too has the power.&amp;quot; According to the Daily Mail the lovers were informed of the ceremony by Prince Nithakong Somsanith, a UN advisor they met during their stay at the \u00C2\u00A3900-a-night Amantaka Hotel. &amp;quot;The Baci ceremony is performed everywhere and was also performed at the Royal Court,&amp;quot; Somsanith told the paper.  &amp;quot;It usually takes place on the morning of the wedding and is followed by the wedding blessing by monks and feasting and drinking beer and rice alcohol in the evening.&amp;quot;  He also declared that he wished the couple well and added: &amp;quot;Jude Law and Sienna Miller will already be man and wife in people&amp;#039;s eyes here.&amp;quot;  The existence of their union was only discovered when Law was spotted still wearing his wristband at the recent Tony Awards ceremony in New York.  The couple are in the process of planning a more conventional wedding to be held later on this year.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
