Angelina Jolie's mum last wish: Jolie should marry Pitt

Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand reportedly wanted Angelina Jolie to marry Brad Pitt.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's brother James Haven were at Marcheline's bedside when the 56 year old died at the weekend after a six year battle against ovarian cancer.

A source told Us Weekly: "Everybody cried. Marcheline told Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that she loved them. It was incredibly emotional."

"Marcheline approved of their relationship completely. And Brad loved her."

A second source told Star magazine that Marcheline "spent the most time with Angelina Jolie [and] she told Angelina Jolie that her dying wish was for [Angelina] to marry Brad."

"Marcheline adored Brad and believed he was an angel sent into their lives to take care of Angelina Jolie."

Star also reports that while it's not marriage, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt held a simple commitment ceremony on the beach during their Christmas holiday to Costa Rica: "They stood in the sand in their bare feet, looked into each others'eyes and promised to love each other forever and to be loving with their children for just as long."

The source added that they exchanged simple rings, which they wear on their right hands, to symbolise their relationship.
