As she walked down the aisle to marry Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie carried her beloved mother Marcheline Bertrand close to her heart. Wearing a locket featuring a picture of Marcheline, who died in January 2007 aged 56 after an eight-year battle with ovarian cancer, there was no way, friends say, Angelina could have not remembered her mom on this occasion. A source today told MailOnline how Angelina, 39, and Brad, 50, decided to marry at Château Mirava, the stunning French estate they bought in 2011, after Angelina made a promise to Marcheline to wed in France before her death.
